Etihad Airways – $250 – $700: San Francisco / Dallas / Los Angeles / Chicago / New York / Washington D.C. – India, Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Australia . Roundtrip, including all Taxes

Update 10/3/2014 @ 4:30AM Eastern – fare gone.

Etihad is launching service between San Francisco and Abu Dhabi. With the new service, here are some really good sales to selected cities in India and Egypt. None of these tickets are mileage earning.

Here’s what we found from San Francisco:

  • Mumbai, India [BOM] – $519
  • Hyderabad, India [HYD] – $495
  • Chennai, India [MAA] – $525
  • Cairo, Egypt [CAI] – $$496

Update 10/3/2014 @ 2:00AM Eastern – this sale is broader than originally posted. Also available from Los Angeles [LAX], Dallas [DFW], Chicago [ORD], New York [JFK]. Not all destinations are available from each departure city.

Update 10/3/2014 @ 2:10AM Eastern – new cities.

  • Colombo, Sri Lanka [CMB]
  • Katmandu, Nepal [KTM]
  • Moscow, Russia [DME]
  • Dhaka, Bangladesh [DAC]
  • Melbourne, Australia [MEL]
  • Singapore [SIN]
  • Johannesburg, South Africa [JNB]
  • Manila, Philippines [MNL]

Australia is more than $525. More closer to $700.

The last time Etihad a cheap fare to India for around $600 from New York, it lasted like 4 hours. So this will not last. There also could be other cities in the Indian subcontinent and Middle East on sale. If you find any others, let us know.

Update 10/2/2014 @ 2:30AM Eastern – there are so many cities. Here is a complete list of where Etihad flies. Check to see if you get good pricing.

Update 10/2/2014 @ 2:45AM Eastern – from Washington D.C. [IAD] too.

Advice: Do not book any pre-paid hotels with these low price fares yet. Wait for your ticket number at minimum & give it some time.
