Yep

Yes

Yeah

Thank you all

Which partner airline?

Etihad and qatar. British airways is an alternative but very high airport charges.

BA taxes are insane but yes like everyone said

I would prefer Etihad. Immigration will happen Abu Dhabi. Not to mention better food on flight.

Interesting. Mine was done in 15 mins.

Yes

Coach. ? Fly parent business

Accurate . Reasonable is subjective. Plus copay. Watch for those outrageous BA copays.
