Etihad guests snap-up special Eid breaks

With 50 percent more holidays available this year, Etihad's call centres, sales offices and website have been inundated with bookings to exciting destinations, including Cairo, Bangkok, and now, New York.

Etihad Holidays now offers breaks to more than 82 global destinations, which has followed the rapid expansion of Etihad Airways' international network of flights.

"The Eid holiday, that falls directly after Ramadan, carries a great deal of significance for people living in the region, and getting away on a short break can make it that little bit more special," said Nick Wood, general manager at Etihad Holidays.

Etihad Guests have been particularly keen to book Eid breaks early this year because there is such a short period of time between the end of the traditional summer break and the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan.

"We are delighted to offer such a distinct variety of holiday whether Guests are looking to travel as a couple, family or group of friends. Abu Dhabi is a perfect launch pad for holidays to the east or west, and Etihad Holidays offers breaks to fit any budgets or taste,"

continued Wood.

From 26 October, Etihad Airways will launch its daily service to America's commercial capital, New York, opening a fantastic array of holidays to the airline's customers.

Guests can explore New York's myriad of cultures and famous landmarks, after flying directly to JFK Airport from Abu Dhabi on Etihad's luxuriously appointed A340-500.

Etihad Holidays offers flexible holiday options for the different nationalities living in the UAE, including European and non-European expatriates, as well as Arabian families looking to travel in a large group.

Etihad Holidays is also promoting its 'lowest price guarantee' for Guests who find an identical holiday available at a better price. If this situation occurs, Etihad Holidays will match or beat the competitor's price.
