Gulf carrier Etihad Airways promotes its connections from Paris to Nagoya, Japan with a special Business Class fare of just €1,557. While Etihad’s Business Class service in known to be excellent, there is a small catch. In addition to the unsurprising layover in Abu Dhabi, Etihad flights to Nagoya include a technical stop in Beijing in each direction.
When using the shortest connection, an Etihad Airbus A380-800 will carry you from Paris to Abu Dhabi. Onward flights will be operated by brand new Boeing 787-1000 Dreamliner aircraft.
