Etihad Airways has a huge business class sale on right now
If you've been dreaming of upgrading your summer travel plans without splurging your entire savings, Etihad Airways has just dropped a limited-time deal that might be hard to ignore. The Abu Dhabi-based airline has launched a business class sale, offering up to 30 percent off fares to a host of seasonal hotspots and new destinations. Running until Wednesday May 8, the sale covers travel between June 1 and September 30, 2025 – prime time for summer holidays, last-minute escapes and slightly smug Instagram posts from airport lounges. Destinations include the airline's newest routes, like Al Alamein (from Dhs3,595), Sochi (Dhs5,995) and Warsaw (Dhs6,995), alongside more established favourites like Mykonos, Santorini and Prague. Even Taipei makes an appearance for those keen on going long-haul with a touch of comfort, priced from Dhs11,995. The timing is no coincidence. Etihad recently revealed its revamped A321LR aircraft at the Arabian Travel Market, bringing some of the luxury usually reserved for its long-haul fleet to shorter regional routes. That means lie-flat business seats and exclusive first class suites on flights that might otherwise have been a cramped economy experience. Business class passengers can expect à la carte meals, spacious seating and lounge access, while first class customers will soon be treated to door-to-door services including chauffeur transfers and personal airport escorts. Sure, it's still Business Class – so it's not exactly budget travel – but with these discounts, it's a rare opportunity to experience a more refined way to fly without the usual eye-watering price tag. And in the summer heat, that extra comfort might just be worth it. Flying away soon? Travelling from Abu Dhabi is about to be so much faster Zayed International Airport is the world's first airport to make this change 5 visa-on-arrival destinations UAE residents can visit (that are just a short flight away) Here's where to go, what to see and what to eat Flying from Abu Dhabi soon?
