Appreciate the confirmation. The devaluation is a monster - not worth it IMO. I can book a flight over via Singapore Air no problem, but I was hoping to try an Etihad flight if possible. I've looked into potentially switching my primary spend onto an AA card, but it'd be an effort to accumulate the number of points needed. Our trip is likely to occur around May '19.

I was targeting a Business Class and above flight - booking direct via Etihad is also pricey compared to booking via AA, etc.
