i just booked a flight ***right now*** for $260, non-stop for a buddy to abu dhabi. i am already going to be there on the way home from south africa. there are a ton of car things to do there (formula 3000 drive, drift class in brz) etc. plus whatever the hell else there is to do there. the fare may not be honored but often these are (if not it's canceled) - go to orbitz and look for ORD to AUH on 2/17 leaving at 8:10pm. return 9:30am on 2/23. pick the etihad flights. it will be 900 but after you choose them and proceed it will drop down to $260. if you book this and they honor it we'll be in abu dhabi at the same time. if you want to go another time with people who are less cool drivers you should poke around dates on google flights. this information is now 8 hours old but is working for me. if you want to go to abu dhabi on the cheaps you should do this IMMEDIATELY.

i'm signed up for the formula 3000 driving program on 2/21 at 1pm. it's about $435.

there is a similarly priced drift school although i was told dates would not be announced until january. it's 4.5 hours in a brz.

yas marina also has ferrari world and a nice looking kart track. i have not researched abu dhabi outside of all the car stuff yet. dubai is close if you wanted to look there a few days too.

i wouldn't book anything until etihad realizes their mistake and decides to honor it or not. nice airline, btw... i expect 80+ % chance they will honor the fare.

emerson didn't notice til now your ticket is for dubai instead of abu dhabi. how much was it? does it have a stop in abu dhabi? not sure if anyone taking advantage of this also noticed they could do that.

as of right now the fares no longer seem to be offered. i can find a few quirky ones in google flights still but i can't get orbitz to pull them up at the low rates.

p40e i did find some crazy articles after you mentioned that!

i'm already going to be there on a return trip from south africa. i'm hopping through doha on qatar airways. i wonder what the etihad business class price would have been? cuz it would have been a crazy deal if cheapy cheaps.

my buddy is on flight 150 out and 151 home on 2/17 and 2/23. which means i accidentally booked him coming in a day earlier and leaving a day later than when i will be there, oops. 257.80.

are you going to spend time in both abu dhabi and dubai ?
