While my mom makes me fly direct (for now) as I haven’t been going abroad alone for long, making me stuck on British Airways premium economy (which I’m still really excited about), other people may be able to take advantage of this fare.
British Airways Airbus A380-800 Hong Kong Airport
Etihad Airways is offering ~HK$16,500 business class tickets from Hong Kong to London this summer.
While Hong Kong to Abu Dhabi will be on their old fully flat product, Abu Dhabi to London will be on their brand new A380, featuring the beautiful business studios.

I’m not sure exactly from when this sale is applicable, so I’d suggest having a check on Etihad’s website whether this fare works for you.
Bottom Line
If you need to be in London this summer and connecting is fine for you, I’d suggest you book now!
Etihad Boeing 777-300ER Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport
Etihad actually deploy dry-leased Air Seychelles A330 on HKG-AUH, feature only 18 standard fully flat seats. Eventually Etihad will switch back to own A330/A340 with staggered seats.
The dates I gave are in July, when Etihad is using their own metal. Will edit post to make this clearer.
