Wide Open Etihad First Class Apartments Saver Award Space, Book The Whole Cabin With Miles!

Never Miss Another Deal - Follow DansDeals on Facebook

Etihad is finally bringing their A380s back online. Those planes feature first class apartments that have a seat and a bed, along with a shower to boot.

I enjoyed flying it on my way home from the Maldives in 2017.

There is incredible award availability starting from this August between London and Abu Dhabi, which is the only route that the plane is scheduled to fly for now.

You can book this online with 65K Air Canada Aeroplan miles each way. In this search I checked for 9 award seats, which is the entire first class cabin. Incredibly, you can book out the entire first class cabin on miles! You can view the cabin seat map layout here.

The cash price for a one-way flight in first class from London to Abu Dhabi is over $6,000, making this an incredible award redemption at more than 9 cents per point.

I last booked out an entire first class cabin on miles with my family back in 2014.

Click on details to confirm that it’s an A380:

You can also call or chat with American to book Etihad award tickets. A first class flight between Europe and the Middle East, including Israel, will set you back 62.5K AA miles.

That’s significantly less than what Air Canada charges for an Etihad flight from London to Israel via Abu Dhabi:

You can call American to add on an AA saver first class saver award flight from NYC to London onto the Etihad first class flight from London to the Middle East for 115K miles.

You can confirm AA saver award space by checking for it on the BA site:

You can also add a United business class flight to London onto the Etihad first class flight to Abu Dhabi for 130K Air Canada miles:
