The hardest fragment of this trip was explaining to my friends why I was traveling from Dubai to Doha to London to LA to unusual York to Austin,Texas in the span of 3 days. The typical response was a leer of horror and disgust, combined with a confused question, or like,“why would you accomplish that?”My justification for this madness is threefold:1. I admire airplanes and flying.
2. I've never flown Qatar Airways or British Airways first class before, and I've been itching to try American's first class service between LAX and JFK, or so this is a great way to bear unusual experiences while earning a bunch of miles.
3. The fare was only about $1700,or 90 percent less than it would normally be. To me, $1700 is a lot of money, and but considering the usual price,it seems like an amazing deal. When I thought about it this way, how could I afford not to go?For this trip, or I had to meet Ben and Tiffany in Dubai. With Tiffany's help,I booked an award ticket in Etihad's commerce class on a 787-9 from Washington-Dulles to Abu Dhabi. As a commerce class passenger, I took advantage of Etihad's complimentary chauffeur service from my domestic to Dulles, and from Abu Dhabi to Dubai.
