Booking Tips for Abu Dhabi to Chicago
Saver vs GuestSeat Awards
Saver awards require fewer miles but have limited availability. GuestSeat awards cost more miles but can be booked on any available seat, offering guaranteed availability if the flight has space.
Book Early for Saver Awards
Etihad releases award space up to 355 days in advance. Book as early as possible for Saver awards, especially for First Class.
Fixed Pricing Advantage
Etihad uses distance-based award pricing, so you know exactly how many miles you'll need regardless of demand. This makes planning easier than programs with dynamic pricing.
