There are so many advantages to scheduling a stopover between flights on a long-haul journey and Etihad is making it easier to see its home city by with a special accommodation offer.
For a while now Abu Dhabi has been a place to change planes on long-haul hops between Australia and Europe.
Previously, the only thing most travellers saw of this modern city beside the sparkling blue of the Persian Gulf was through the airport’s windows as they gathered at the boarding gate to resume a journey after just a couple of hours on the ground.
But that’s all changing with Aussie travellers increasingly drawn to Abu Dhabi, to experience the Arabian hospitality they get up in the air when flying with Etihad Airways, and choosing to stay for a stopover.
THE CHOICE IS YOURS
Making a stopover simple is just one of the things Etihad is doing to give flyers more choice in the way they travel because, after 15 years in the business, the airline understands personalising a journey makes every trip more unique.
It might be choosing an airport pickup, booking more leg room with Economy Space, or adding a stay in Abu Dhabi stays to add another adventure to that next holiday.
WHAT CAN WE DO THERE?
This oasis in the desert is the place to ride fantastic rides such as Batman Night Flight at Warner Bros. World, the premier art gallery the Louvre Abu Dhabi opened last year, and the Grand Mosque is an architectural wonder in a city stacked with stunning structures.
Best of all, Etihad Airways offer the Extraordinary Abu Dhabi Pass to offer discounts on some of the best attractions, restaurants, spas, beaches and more. Simply show your boarding pass to receive some great savings.
Ride the hop-on/hop-off bus for a relaxed orientation, stroll the Corniche or sit on a Saadiyat Island beach, enjoy an adrenalin rush on Yas Island, shop at Marina Mall, and savour sunset drinks in one of the lofty bars crowning a sky-scraping tower.
The Extraordinary Abu Dhabi Pass gives you the opportunity to make the very most of your time in Abu Dhabi, with savings of over $190 per person!
Etihad Airways is making all the fabulous ways to experience Abu Dhabi that much easier with a bonus stopover.

WHAT’S SO GOOD ABOUT AN ABU DHABI BREAK?
There are so many advantages to booking a mini-break between flights when zooming around the globe.
The trip is less daunting with two separate legs instead of one long journey, it helps reduce jetlag by letting the body clock adjust to different zones in stages, and passengers feel fresher when they finally hop off the plane at their ultimate destination.
And the bonus with an Abu Dhabi break is travellers can experience Arabian culture in a city that captures all the creature comforts with giant shopping malls, a vast choice of restaurants, and a long list of things to see when sightseeing beckons.
