For travel before December 20, 2023, gulf carrier Etihad Airways offers up to two free nights as part of their stopover program. If you have a ticket worth at least $500 (oneway) or $750 (roundtrip), you can get either a 40% discount on more luxurious hotels or free nights in a more basic hotel.
Since all their itineraries require a change of planes in the United Arab Emirates’ capital, this is a great chance to make your time there worthwhile.
To book the stopover, you need to use Etihad’s multi-city search:

After that you can choose from a multitude of free hotels for your stopover via the landing page:
