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 lets 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.
