by Adam Last updated December 25, 2014

$177.80 all in from NYC to Abu Dhabi roundtrip, it’s just one of the available Etihad mistake fares courtesy of the Flight Deal. The cities listed in the title are all still live for various dates from late January through November 2015 (several in Asia are no longer working). BoardingArea readers – what did you book??

Adam is the proud Founder and CEO of both Point Me to the Plane and point.me. An international consultant turned TV programming strategist, Adam currently works full-time on both websites. His obsession with points and miles dates back to his freshman year at college. After browsing Flyertalk and Mileage Workshop, Adam pulled the trigger and signed up for his first Citibank AAdvantage credit card and MCI phone line (yes, landlines still existed). Back then, both deals were churnable and in no time at all, the college freshman had enough miles to travel to Europe and Asia in First Class for free, multiple times. Needless to say, he was hooked! Fast forward a few years and Adam of course ended up in a career with a heavy travel requirement…which meant extra miles for awards! As his colleagues and friends started to hear about and see pictures from his trips, they wanted in on the secret and Adam began to assist them with their bookings, Juicy Miles was born. At the same time, Adam started an email newsletter to prevent those less obsessed co-workers from squandering their point collection opportunities. The bi-weekly email covered everything from upcoming promotions, guidance on maximizing points, and redemption advice. The distribution quickly expanded outside the office and Point Me to the Plane became a BoardingArea blog.

@Divyesh – Nice, I have faith in your negotiation skills! I booked an AUH with a full day CDG stop via AA, a JNB, a HKG, and a DEL trip. Still deciding which to keep!

Adam – Me and a buddy got the flights from JFK-AUH-JNB for his birthday in November. Staying for 5 nights or so. Should be an amazing time. Got em for $326.00.

My fiancee and I are going to JFK-SEZ for our honeymoon in Sept. for $700 each. Would have loved to book an award into J or F, but at this price, can’t beat it.
