Booking VA through EY

[agentgerko]

Can we still book VA seats with Etihad points? Prior to Covid the number of EY points for a VA flight was quite a bit less than the required VA points, so I would transfer points from my Amex card to Etihad and then phone them to book my reward seats on VA.

Yes - did it not long ago for flights to/from Tasmania.
They seem to see the availability of the same award seats as Velocity.
Very cheap taxes too.
