I have 3 seats in Etihad business from Singapore (booked with AA) on hold that I'm probably not gonna end up using. If any wants it let me know so if I don't take it we can coordinate the release.

I'm traveling solo to Dubai in August. I would like to hook up with someone if that person also happens to be there at the same time. Is this the best forum for that or should I post it somewhere else? Thanks.

I figured you didn't know what you were talking about. Just needed you to confirm that.

Don't be a child.

Everyone knows what OP meant, though I fear that the odds of success may be on the slimmer side.

I have actually seen people post on DDF, about such friendships. So one never knows.

Wow very helpful, guys!

There have been "hookups" coordinated from ddf (abu dhabi price mistake, and Dans recent Island hopper, though not sure 2nd one counts) and im sure many others...
You can post your dates and see if anyone pms you. There is also a for on tripadvisor dedicated to this
