So you managed to book a ticket beyond the 12month validity? That's unheard of!!

Yeah, I guess so. Flight is next summer, purchased in February of course. Only sign of trouble is that status is just "confirmed" in VirtuallyThere, and the seat assignments that were there yesterday are gone today...

Checked-in for our return today. No trouble at all and it was extremely quick. We had separate PNRs; AA at dfw was able to print out all of my boarding passes but only the dfw-jfk pass for my gf. So when we got to jfk we went over to the etihad first class check-in at T4 and were done in 5 minutes, which included moving our seats so we could be together and getting the lounge passes.
Short version: return trip check-in - for us - was painless.

Just got back from the trip with my return (with the DFW-AUH nonstop). Checking in was fairly simple - took less than 5 minutes, no problems mentioned by the people doing the checkin. Flight was more full (6/8) than on my previous AUH-JFK but I don't think service suffered. Despite other complaints about the 9W plane being worse, I thought it was pretty much identical.
Worst part of everything was AUH itself - the flight left DFW late plus there was a huge mess at the transit security (and no apparent premium line), so I had no time to check out the lounge there again.

I did KE which looked good on paper. In practice, I got 0 miles for the AUH-JFK leg because the fare class was changed to something that gave no miles. Haven't seen the return posted but I'm assuming it will be the same.
