I wanted to fly ICN to JFK via AUH on Etihad, and when i called the AA customer service, they told me it will cost 135k (despite less than 24 hours in the AUH). Is this appropriate? Or something I should escalate up for clarification?
As stated, 2 awards if not flowing via the Pacific.

True, but N.America to Asia (what's being asked about in this instance) isn't one of them.
