Etihad has some holiday specials for you folks in New York / Dallas / Chicago / Washington D.C. / Los Angeles / San Francisco to the Middle East, India and Africa. We did some primarily checks for the following:
Johannesburg [JNB] – Under $700 from San Francisco
Mumbai [BOM] – Under $600 from San Francisco
Abu Dhahi [AUH] – $187 – $465 for all the listed cities.
We did a bunch of dates in February and availability was easy to find. These are not searchable on ITA, so let’s crowd source this.
Update 12/25/2014 @ 1:00AM Eastern – Availability so far: Late January – May, September – November. Stick to Monday – Thursday departures for best price.
Update 12/25/2015 @ 2:05AM Eastern – Availability to cities like Hong Kong, Manila etc per the comments starting around $270 from New York. Availability for Hong Kong seems to be available in the Fall. We did not find anything in the Spring.

C'mon guys. For those saying they'd never sit 15 hours in Y, if I told you that I'd pay you $600 (pretend it's the diff btw regular and mistake fare) to sit uncomfortably in order to go on vacation, ya'll wouldn't grab it?

We've become spoiled by flying biz w/ miles.

(This doesn't apply to ppl that have more miles than they know what to do with, and don't want to cash them out.)

Pay for lounge access, get drunk, and watch video's on your phone.

Yes, I'm guilty. I've become spoiled to the point where I'd think twice about flying to HKG the long way for 20 hours in Y.

I know you would.

Keep in mind that you've been there already, so it's no longer the same novelty and experience for you as it is for a majority of DDFers.

Can get a stopover in AUH en route to JNB for $299!

Well I'm staying out of this one. I got in on the emirates deal from around Sukkot and have two trips planed in Y for 15 hr flights. Thats enough Y to last me a while.
