Flight Changes
Many changes have been made due to Etihad schedule changes. In some cases, connecting flights are being swapped to nonstops. Some have been able to get this changed back by calling Etihad, others have not. You may have to repeat call / HUCA to get it switched back.
Update 12/28/14: Etihad will honor the fare per Forbes article.

Suggestions for what to do in ...
AUH (Abu Dhabi) (Check Groupon):
Grand Mosque [wiki] [map]
Kayak the mangroves [trip advisor] [map]
Ferrari World [trip advisor] [map]
Dune bashing/camel ride [trip advisor]
Hotels:
Qsar al Sarab
CPT (Capetown):
Take cable car to top of Table Mountain

See Robben Island prison, home to Nelson Mandela for 18 years

JNB (Johannesburg):
Nelson Mandela Square (JNB) / also visit Butchers steak restaurant there
Guided tour to Soweto (JNB)
For JNB/CPT:
- use uber (safe and cheap) / if you travel to Sandton(JNB): use Gautrain from Airport. / review travel advise and do's/don'ts for traveling in JNB city.
- Tons of cheap flights btw CPT and JNB. Always use booking portals like orbitz, skyscanner, etc. to find good fares (for example on Kulula, BA, SAA, Mango, etc.)
MNL (Manila):
Ask on FT (in Destinations) - There are too many islands and beaches in the Philippines to list here.
If you fancy another destination:
$120 R/T to SIN
$175 R/T to HKG or 7500 Avios
Almost all of Asia is under $200 with LCCs

Thanks! You are exactly right! I was EWR-ORD-AUH and they changed it to JFK-AUH. While both considered NYC airports, they are significantly different to get in and out of from PA. To their credit, the airline was extremely receptive to addressing my concerns and booked me on EWR-BRU-AUH.

"For my convenience" they changed my EWR-ORD-AUH to JFK-AUH. I suspect that, because they are both classified as NYC, they might be allowed to do that. In any case, they got me back on a flight from EWR. Of all the changes they made, JFK would have been a deal-breaker for me. Cautiously optimistic that I can start booking hotels and activities in Dubai.

hmmm
Might be advisable to Google a bit about UAE and sleeping pills and other "benign" OTC drugs....
The infamous case is from 2008 but several incidents have been reported since then to raise alarms.
It is UAE. Better to be safe. 99% of the time nothing happens. But that 1% is not a pleasant experience. (individually wrapped candy looking sleeping drug that was suggested upthread is the worst thing you can do - better to carry original detailed packaging and doctor's prescription if you have to carry drugs)

Not really. First, AA would have to fly it and then they would have to agree to do the codeshare. The AA/EY codeshare doesn't cover every flight each carrier flies, they pick specific ones. So, it is a lot of IFs, but it is moot now.

There is more stuff to do in Dubai in general, other than the desert safari. I did my desert safari out of Dubai - we drove into a desert dune bashing safari in the Sharjah area - 30 miles north of Dubai.

My wife didn't want to do it but after she said she had a blast(were both 64 y/o). We booked it through the Hotel and I felt it was reasonable with Emirates Travel. Price ended up being ~$65-70 US PP maybe would have been cheaper out of Dubai with shorter travel? She also had a great time with the Falcon.
We also went on the Mangrove Kayaking and I recognized the driver who had a different group 2 days earlier on the Safari trip.
One tip if you can help it don't sit in the 3rd row of seats. It right over the rear axle and easy to get motion sickness. Both of the people in our Toyota Land cruiser had to find a place to barf by our 1st stop lol.

www.groupon.ae has some great deals on desert safaris and other activities! Make sure you select your origin city as Dubai or Abu Dhabi dependnding on where you are going to be.
I did Safari in 2010 which was alot of fun - We didnt use groupon but called people from the brochure at the hotel . Costed us around 175 AED.
I had family go through groupon last month costing 99AED and they mentioned that it was too short - Only went on one hill.
