Etihad Airways has launched a limited-time sale to several Asian destinations, when you book by January 17, 2025, and travel between February 24 and September 30, 2025.

Here’s what you need to know!

Fare Deal — Details

The deal includes Etihad‘s U.S. hubs: Boston (BOS), Chicago (ORD), New York (JFK), and Washington, D.C. (IAD). It applies to flights booked in cash or with Etihad Guest Miles and appears to only apply to economy flights.

For instance, some of the cheapest round-trip cash fares we’ve spotted include Washington, D.C. to Doha (DOH) for under $800 in economy. That same route costs just 25,200 miles round-trip in economy (plus around $500 in taxes), which is an excellent deal for the Middle East.

If any routes interest you, take a look at available dates and prices at Etihad.com or Google Flights.

Class: Economy
Routes: Boston (BOS), Chicago (ORD), New York (JFK), and Washington, D.C. (IAD) to Asia
Dates: February through late September 2025
Rates: As low as $790 round-trip in economy

How To Book

The deals are available between February and September 2025. You shouldn’t have trouble finding dates and destinations that work for your travel plan within those dates.

If you’re booking cash flights, make sure to book your flight using a travel rewards credit card that rewards you for travel purchases. Some of our favorites at Upgraded Points are The Platinum Card^® from American Express, the Chase Sapphire Reserve^®, and the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card.

If you want to save cash and instead use Etihad Guest Miles, you’re in luck.

There’s also some fantastic award flights included in the deal, such as New York to Colombo, Sri Lanka (CMB) for under 30,000 miles round-trip! Note that the taxes and fees on these tickets can be costly, starting at around $600 total.

Earning Etihad Guest Miles is incredibly easy, too. The airline is a 1:1 transfer partner of American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One Miles, and Citi ThankYou Rewards. You can also transfer points from Marriott Bonvoy at a 3:1 ratio.
