Looking for your next luxurious getaway? Etihad Airways has just unveiled its latest seasonal route — and it’s perfect for travelers dreaming of the Mediterranean sun. Starting this season, the airline is offering twice-weekly flights between Abu Dhabi and the beautiful city of Nice, nestled along the iconic French Riviera.

Flights will operate every Wednesday and Sunday aboard Etihad’s modern Boeing 787 Dreamliner, renowned for its fuel efficiency and comfort. Special launch fares are now available, starting from AED 2,495 in Economy and AED 12,995 in Business Class — making it an ideal time to plan that European escape.

Martin Drew, Etihad’s Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Cargo, shared his excitement:
"We're thrilled to introduce this new route to a destination that’s not only a UNESCO World Heritage Site but also famous for its scenic coastline and the picturesque Promenade des Anglais. We’re confident that this service will attract travelers looking for a sophisticated and sun-soaked vacation."

As international travel continues to rebound, Etihad is expanding its network to offer guests more destinations and flexibility — all while keeping sustainability in mind. The airline recently introduced its Conscious Choices program, which encourages eco-friendly travel habits. Passengers can earn Tier Miles and exclusive rewards for flying lighter and offsetting their carbon emissions using Etihad Guest Miles.

Etihad also continues to simplify travel with its Verified to Fly service, allowing passengers to upload and validate required travel documents before arriving at the airport — ensuring a smooth start to your journey.
