There was a brief window earlier this year when it was possible to book Etihad
A380 First Apartment awards using AAdvantage miles, but unfortunately there's no longer award space being released on that route.
With many of the most popular awards going up in price (like the shocking 63 % jump on Cathay Pacific first class to Asia or the across - the - board increases for Etihad's
A380 First Apartment), it'll be easier to spend the 100,000 AAdvantage miles needed to earn the full 10 % back.
Cathay Pacific First Class to Asia (Asia 2) is 67,500 miles each way, JAL First Class to Japan is 62,500 miles each way, Etihad
A380 First Apartment from Abu Dhabi to Sydney and Qantas A380 First Class between Dubai and Australia is 60,000 miles each way, Etihad First Class from the U.S. to Abu Dhabi and Business Class to the Maldives is 90,000 miles each way, and Qatar Business Class from the U.S. to Africa via Doha is 75,000 miles each way.
Displays of
the A380 First Apartment, Boeing 787 First Suite, Business Studio, and Economy SmartSeat will also be featured on the stand as well as an expanded version of the Lobby, which is located on the upper level of Etihad Airways» A380.
