Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has announced some of the most exciting news in aviation! Say Bonjour, as the flag carrier is set to start flying its flagship A380s to Paris, France.

If you are planning on visiting Paris this fall or winter, you’re in luck. Air France has discounted Business Class award availability on flights between several major U.S. cities and Paris. Typically, award pricing for Air France Business Class flights can cost 200,000 Air France-KLM Flying Blue miles. If you take advantage of this redemption immediately, when award availability is significantly discounted, you can snag a seat for 50,000 Flying Blue miles or 48,500 Virgin Atlantic Flying Club points for a one-way redemption.

Not too long ago, Abu Dhabi-based carrier Etihad Airways took delivery of three new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners with all-new cabin interiors. Etihad outfitted these planes with 32 forward-facing Business Class suites up front, arranged in a 1-2-1 configuration. On a recent flight with Etihad from New York JFK to Abu Dhabi AUH, I had the chance to put the Emirati flag carrier's new Business Class to the test.
