Cheap - No it isn't. The Etihad website "advertised rates" ARE cheap but then they add in plus airport tax , plus fuel excise tax, plus credit card charge, plus service charge, plus, plus, plus. So, by the time you get to check-out to pay for tickets the airfares that were 1,850 (return) become 2,350 (a 25% INCREASE) which means it is now the same price as all the other airlines like - Thai, ETA etc which actually fly direct and no stop over like Etihad - and they do not add on all the crazy plus, plus, plus (well ... maybe they add credit card charge) . Please people, be smarter when booking and talking about online prices - and be honest to yourself when you see you are being 'played' with on-line nonsense games that the corporates play with you. See the bill that comes out of your credit card account - that's the real price of the ticket - not what's advertised!
