| | Etihad Business Class to Abu Dhabi, Up to 9 Seats | Considering the lack of Qatar Airways Qsuites award space and the absolutely absurd carrier-imposed surcharges on Emirates, booking business class awards to the Middle East isn’t as easy these days. As a result, it’s often tougher to get to places like the Maldives, South Africa, Oman, and plenty more. | While Etihad Guest has some awful cancellation fees and award rates aren’t great, the surcharges aren’t quite as bad and space is more readily available. Plus, it’s easy to earn the miles. Just make sure you won’t need to cancel as the fees really are steep. | Now, let’s get into it. |
