Etihad launches attractive £1,199 flight deals to India

Etihad is offering some surprisingly attractive business class deals to India.

These are only available to Delhi and Mumbai, it seems, and price at £1,199 return. For example:

You can travel until mid June for these prices and can fly from London or Manchester. Availability is patchy so you need to be flexible.

Remember that Etihad recently brought the A380 back to the Heathrow to Abu Dhabi route. Our Etihad flight reviews include the Etihad A380 Business Studio, the Etihad Boeing 777 First Class Suite and the Eithad A380 First Class Apartment.

Whilst Etihad isn’t a member of any major alliance, you can credit miles to Etihad Guest and cash them out for, well, cash, via their PointsPay service. You can also credit to partner programmes such as Air Canada Aeroplan and American Airlines AAdvantage.

You can book on the Etihad site here.
