Option 1: Etihad's stopover programme
Etihad has periodically offered stopover deals for connecting passengers — typically discounted or complimentary hotel nights for overnight-plus stopovers you plan when booking your ticket. Check Etihad's official site for the current offer; programmes change.
Best for: travellers who deliberately booked a 24-hour-plus stop and want a hotel bed included.
Option 2: an independent layover tour (that's us)
If your connection is the ordinary kind — 5, 8, 12 hours you did not choose — a hotel programme does not help. A door-to-door tour does.
Best for: same-day connections of 4–14 hours, night arrivals, and travellers who want the city, not a hotel room.
