It will forward you to Etihad or Skyscanner with your selected flight dates. From there, you can check what OTAs have to offer, as they sell these tickets up to €300 cheaper. You can find these fares from August 2024 through March 2025:

First, you will fly with Etihad on their Boeing 777 aircraft, featuring a 1-2-1 lie-flat seat configuration in Business Class. For your second leg, depending on your flight, you will either be on another wide-body aircraft with a 1-2-1 configuration, or on one of the Airbus A320 family aircraft with 2-2 recliner seats, similar to domestic US First Class. In order to get the best price for some dates, you may have a long layover in Abu Dhabi. If this layover is overnight, you can take advantage of the Etihad Stopover Program.

You can find suitable dates using our calendar above or with the help of Google Flights. We recommend booking directly on Etihad’s website, but you can find cheaper prices with Skyscanner. However, booking on OTAs has its downsides.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
