Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Launches ‘Two-for-One’ Ticket Offer!

Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, is encouraging residents to celebrate the start of the New Year with the launch of its New Year’s Sale – get two tickets for the price of one.

To give guests peace of mind and to offer an extra level of reassurance to travel, Etihad is the only airline in the world requiring 100% of its passengers to show a negative PCR test before departure, and on arrival in Abu Dhabi.

Travellers can jet off any time before 15 June 2021, and lay back and relax at a luxury resort, explore ancient architecture or spend the weekend discovering a new city.

Fares from Abu Dhabi to Istanbul start from just AED 1,790, Dublin from AED 3,830 and Toronto from AED 5,790. The sale extends across all of Etihad’s cabins, with return Business fares starting from AED 8,750 out of Abu Dhabi to Maldives and AED 10,370 from Abu Dhabi to Istanbul.

Flying to, from, and via Abu Dhabi is supported by the airline’s fully redesigned Etihad Wellness sanitisation and safety programme, which ensures the highest standards of hygiene are maintained at every stage of the customer journey.

This includes specially trained Wellness Ambassadors, a first in the industry, who have been introduced by the airline to provide essential travel health information and care on the ground and on every flight, so guests can fly with greater ease and confidence. All passengers travelling with Etihad receive complimentary COVID-19 insurance.

The sale started on Tuesday, 5 January 2021 and ends on Wednesday, 13 January at etihad.com. This offer is valid only for one guest and a companion.

Etihad Airways stated that booking for the companion must be made in the same transaction, and the companion must fly on the same flight, date, and class of travel as the accompanying guest.

Etihad Airways commenced operations in November 2003 and is the second flag carrier of the United Arab Emirates. It is also the second largest airline in the UAE after Emirates.

In 2020, Etihad had flown over 500 charters including passenger, government and humanitarian flights. Over 3.8M tonnes of cargo has been transported for the government of Abu Dhabi as part of the national aid programme using charter services.
