Just don't go during Ramadan if you are looking for an experience.

I was there in June and the city was eerily vacant. However, I can say the St. Regis was an absolute wonderful place to stay and relax.

It's a long flight but nothing a few glasses of wine and sleeping pills can't fix.

Best of luck on your journey!!

Thanks! Unfortunately Abu Dhabi won't be the end of my journey. I connect from there to AMD in Gujrat, India. I went two years ago and was sick the whole trip. Hopefully my immune system is ready to roll this time around.

Have done Etihad from chicago to Abu dabi. Not a fun trip. I stongly recommend going though Europe to india. Two 9 hour flights much better than a 14 hour followed by a 4 hour.

That's how our travel agent booked it, or I definitely would take that approach. Last time I went it was company policy to book business on long haul flights. Unfortunately someone wised up to the difference in expense.

I flew business on Qatar last time around from Houston to Doha and it was a breeze. Hopefully sleeping pills and a little alcohol do the trick.

Etihad as an airline company is about the same as Qatar air and Emirates in terms of service. That long of a flight in economy is going to suck but you will get free cheap liquor to drown your sorrows. Abu Dhabi is a cool city but the airport is nothing special, in fact it is a bit dumpy. I would rather fly into Qatar or Dubai if you are going to have a long layover.

If you have a priority pass card then head over to the business lounge to relax.
