Etihad or Qatar for AA award to India?
Planning and award trip (Biz class) to India (Mumbai or Delhi). May i get the 'experts' advise and opinions:
EY or Qatar: Which Airline do you think is best for comfort? for service?
On EY: 380 versus 77w? Which do you think is best for comfort?
Qatar only offers a 777. Your opinions?
thanks in advance for all your knowledge and insight.

With Etihad, you arrive in the US precleared in Abu Dhabi, as if arriving on a domestic flight. No being shouted at by USCBP, no carousel and customs clownery.

QUESTION 1. Does Global Entry have any benefit with this preclear in Abu Dhabi?
Questions 2. If you were flying from MLE>LAX and your choice was
MLE>DOH>AUH>LAX where the long hall AUH>LAX is Ethiad is worth the extra connection? versus MLE>DOH>LAX on Qatar?
Thanks in advance for thoughts.

Wishing the OP luck on partner award availability and any AA segments needed to get to a gateway, such that he should have the luxury of choice on his preferred travel dates.

Hmmm. I think I prefer Etihad but I've only flown F with them. Flew DFW-DOH-JNB RT this month in J and it was not a pleasant experience for a number of reasons, though many of the issues originated by their awful presence at JNB.

That being said, as OP is using miles and EY availability on AUH - DEL far exceeds QR award availability on DOH - DEL.
