I've written in the past about the awesome discounts you can get for travel on British Airways by being an AARP member.
This discount offers $400 off of roundtrip business class tickets, even when they're discounted already (there are also discounts of $65 for economy tickets and of $130 for premium economy tickets). So when there's a fare sale between the US and Europe, this knocks a further $400 off the price of a ticket, often bringing the cost of a flight down to what you'd expect to pay for economy class.
The offer was only supposed to be valid for bookings made through October 14, 2014, and we weren't sure whether they were going to extend it beyond that or not.
Last week I posted about how AARP extended the offer through October 31, 2014, which I found a bit odd. Extending a promotion by only two weeks didn't make me feel very confident that it would be extended beyond that.

I can't even begin to describe how excited I was by the time we actually boarded.
And it seemed the crew was equally excited, as the chef, flight attendant, and first officer were all at the door to greet first class passengers.
I quickly snapped a few cabin pictures. I had flown Etihad's A340-500 before, though this was my first time on the A340-600. In terms of the first class cabin they're virtually the same.
Etihad's A340 first class cabin consists of a total of 12 seats spread across four rows, in a 1-2-1 configuration. Each suite is fully enclosed. Unlike Emirates' cabins, Etihad's are actually somewhat modestly designed and not super-blingy (well, perhaps with the exception of the "diamond" on the bulkheads in front of and behind the cabin).
