The benefits extend beyond the flight itself. Opt for a layover in Abu Dhabi, and your Etihad boarding pass transforms into the 'Extraordinary Abu Dhabi Pass.' This pass is your key to unlocking exclusive deals and discounts on the city's best activities, dining, and experiences. Whether it's savoring culinary delights, exploring cultural landmarks, or indulging in luxurious spa treatments, Etihad ensures your journey is not just about the destination but the experiences along the way.
Selecting Etihad Airways for your journey is not just a choice; it's an assurance of a remarkable travel experience. Etihad, the national airline of the UAE, goes beyond providing a means of transportation – it's a gateway to unparalleled luxury, comfort, and service.
When passengers opt for Etihad Airways and include a layover in Abu Dhabi, their boarding pass serves a dual purpose as the 'Extraordinary Abu Dhabi Pass,' granting them exclusive deals and discounts on the finest activities, experiences, outings, and dining options in the city.
Benefits encompass a discount of up to 25% on food and beverages at restaurants and specific hotels, a 30% reduction on selected theme parks and experiences, up to 35% off on pool and beach access, and a maximum of 20% off on spa treatments.
With the 'Best of Abu Dhabi' stopover package, travelers can secure discounts of up to 40% at Abu Dhabi's most exclusive hotels for stays ranging from two to four nights. Alternatively, they can choose a one or two-night stopover for free in selected three- and four-star hotels.
To take advantage of one of the stopover programs, book a multicity flight through the airline for an economy, business-class or first-class fare, connecting through AUH.
For example, you could book a multicity trip from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM), connecting through Abu Dhabi each way, allowing you to participate in the stopover program on your outgoing flight. A two-night stay in Abu Dhabi would be eligible for the Best of Abu Dhabi or Stopover on Us program.
Once you have your booking reference and ticket number, take that information and select a participating hotel from the list. Finally, once you complete the booking, look out for an email with a hotel voucher.
Qatar Airways is also enhancing the value for travelers by offering a five-star stopover starting from just $56 per person (hotel only, twin-share accommodation) for two nights when traveling onward to Europe or the UK.
The airline provides a stopover package priced at $167 per person, covering two nights in five-star, twin-share accommodation, private airport transfers, and a four-hour 'Discover Doha' sightseeing tour with an English-speaking guide and hotel pick-up/drop-off.
Additionally, Emirates passengers can avail themselves of exclusive discounts and deals at over 500 different locations simply by presenting their boarding pass.
The 'My Emirates Pass' opens up opportunities for travelers to enjoy great deals on dining, shopping, attractions, and spa treatments. Some of the offers eligible with My Emirates Pass include a 10% discount on the Bedouin Culture Safari, a 15% discount on a private vehicle evening desert safari with premium beverages and a dune buggy driver experience, a 20% discount on general admission and Sky and Lounge tickets for 'At the Top Burj Khalifa,' a 20% discount on general admission at Atlantis Dubai Aquaventure Waterpark, a 30% discount on The Burj Club SPA 60 minutes massage, and a 40% discount on general admission to The Lost Chambers Aquarium.

In conclusion, choosing Etihad Airways for your travel is more than a decision; it's an invitation to a world of unparalleled luxury and exceptional experiences. From the moment you step on board, Etihad's commitment to excellence shines through, offering spacious cabins, cutting-edge entertainment, and a level of service that goes beyond expectations.
Therefore, after landing in Abu Dhabi, Doha, or Dubai, it's advisable not to discard that boarding pass, as it could unlock a realm of special offers for stopovers of any duration.
