| First
Class for a Fraction of the Price |
First
Class provides the ultimate in luxury in the
air. It's also usually prohibitively
expensive... but thanks to frequent flyer
points, it doesn't have to be!
One member recently flew First class on
Etihad's Airbus A380 from Sydney to Abu
Dhabi, and they absolutely loved the
experience. This member said they felt like
they were in their own private room on
board. They were especially impressed with
the on-board bar, dedicated chef and
sky-high showers offered to First class
passengers.
Etihad normally charges $12,000 one-way for
a First class ticket from Sydney or
Melbourne to Abu Dhabi. But it's possible to
secure a seat for less than a quarter of the
retail price!
