Awesome deal: 50% off on Etihad business class from US to select cities India, Middle East, Asia

Here's something fabulous for our US-based readers. Etihad has announced a sale of up to 50% off in business class from the US to specific cities in Asia, including India and the Middle East. The sale is for specific fare classes only, for travel till 12 December 2016. This sale is open for another two days, and ends early morning on Tuesday, 12 April 2016 (US Eastern time).


The sale is valid for travel from and to specific city combinations only. For readers' convenience, I've summarised the base prices (which are inclusive of all taxes and fees!) below. However, you can also access the landing page for this sale here.

Here are some illustrative fares for New York JFK to Delhi in August 2016, on Etihad.


Very often, sales of up to 50% don't really work as advertised. However, when compared to other airlines' prices for the same sector and dates, for a sample, it is very clear that this offer seems to work the way it is intended to. I say this on the basis that generally, typical business class fares from the US to India are in the region, or in excess, of US$4,500.


However, it should be noted that some of the connecting flights, particularly on the AUH-India sector, could be on Jet Airways. Also, some of the Etihad flights ex-US are operated on Jet Airways metal. However, those are smaller pain points (though they exist, nonetheless), given the prices under this offer.

Review: Le Meridien Etoile, Paris

Image
I checked out of the Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile yesterday morning, and checked into the Le Meridien Etoile, just around the corner from the Hyatt, in the evening after a day's sightseeing. Hyatt was kind enough to hold my bags for the duration of the day (which is a surprise in today's world of terror threats), and I'm grateful to them for that. The Le Meridien has standard and chic rooms as two of their base category rooms. As I mentioned in the introduction post, I booked a chic room on an award. Here's a review of the hotel and room, but not breakfast (that didn't come with the room, and we planned to head to the airport a little early in any case).

Hotel review: Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium

Image
As part of my recent business visit to Singapore, I spent an extra night there just so I could catch up with friends, some of whom I haven't met in over a decade. And because I needed one more stay to qualify for the bonus under IHG's Accelerate 2016 promotion , and also simultaneously earn a few more IHG Rewards Club bonus points under the Book Direct promotion, I decided I was going to spend the extra night at an IHG hotel. Luckily for me, just hours before my flight to Singapore, I was able to get a rate of SG$150++ a night, which is a fantastic rate for Singapore, especially for a booking as late as mine was. However, I had received mixed reviews when I sought inputs from my Singapore-based friends, and so I decided that I would have a dekko at this myself. I had already been in touch with the hotel (even before my booking was done), to check if they were able to offer me early check in (official check in time is 3 pm, and my flight was to land at 9 am). They said they...
