Etihad Free Abu Dhabi Stopover Extended Till July 2020
Earlier, I had written about a great offer from Etihad. You can book a flight with a stopover at Abu Dhabi and get up to two nights stay for free. This was applicable for economy tickets and also for one-way fares.
Subsequently, Etihad extended the offer period. You could book tickets till December 1, 2019 and travel till December 31, 2019. This offer has been extended again.
Now you can book tickets till March 1, 2020 and travel till July 30, 2020.
How to Book Your Free Stopover at Abu Dhabi?
The process is straightforward. First, you need to book a flight on etihad.com. It would appear that travel agent bookings are not allowed. Remember to select the multi-city option while booking.
Before this, check availability of hotels during your planned dates. You can do this here.
Once you confirm availability, book your flights and use your reservation number to book the hotel. Remember, this is peak season in UAE and there are chances that some of the hotels will be sold out.
