Should be E class. Viewable under fare rules.

Trying to find the fare rules section on priceline confirmation and on etihad site, don't see it at either.

What are you saying? Why would 7,500 avios plus $44 be cheaper than just $48 and no avios?

EY 102/103 are Jet Airways planes, that are leased with crew by Etihad. Crew is Jet Airways and at least in First Class are "allegedly" not as good as the real crew. Realistically, in coach I doubt there is much of a difference...

Probably by Checking your booking reference on Etihad.com, or check Googleflights

I never received confirmation from Priceline about ticket numbers nor seat assignments for JFK>CDG>AUH.  Do I contact Priceline or Etihad for this confirmation?  Our itinerary isn't until September, but I'd like to confirm so I could build a full itinerary since I'll be coming from LAX/SNA/LGB and also plan to go to MUC and/or CDG for a few days a piece.  TIA

Did you get a confirmation code at all? If you did, log into etihad and see if there's a reservation sith a ticket #.  If not, try to log into Priceline (if you have an account) and see if they have a confirmation code.
Only a ticket # gets you a real seat.

Kk finally got correct confirmation number by calling priceline (worst phone reps)
Etihad.com says it was $189 I paid 350
Is this worth fighting?
Also I think my fare class is x/o
