Having four weekly flights to eight major Indian cities via Abu Dhabi will offer a wide range of possibilities for travelers
That sounds like fantastic news for Indians residing in and around New England! The introduction of Etihad Airways’ service between Boston and India, along with Air India’s plan for nonstop flights on the same route, will undoubtedly provide more travel options and convenience for passengers. Having four weekly flights to eight major Indian cities via Abu Dhabi will offer a wide range of possibilities for travelers.
The added advantage of a 48-hour transit visa for Indian passengers with a valid 6-month passport, and visa-on-arrival facility for Canadian and US citizens at Abu Dhabi International Airport, will make layovers more enjoyable and encourage exploring the city during these breaks.
Travelers can now look forward to seamless connections and a broader range of travel options from 2024 onwards
This move will also increase competition on the route, benefiting passengers with potentially more choices in itineraries, connection times, and competitive fare deals from various airlines. With Etihad Airways becoming the fourth airline to offer direct flights from the US to India after major cities like New York, Chicago, and Washington DC, it shows the increasing demand for air travel between the two countries.
Overall, the addition of Etihad Airways’ flights is a significant development that will enhance connectivity between Boston and India and positively impact the Indian diaspora in the New England region. Travelers can now look forward to seamless connections and a broader range of travel options from 2024 onwards.
