Which airlines offer the best flights to Abu Dhabi and how much do tickets cost?

A traveler asked about Air Arabia child fares to Abu Dhabi — search results show a lower price, but at checkout the child ticket ends up costing the same as an adult one.

For October flights, Etihad tickets were about twice as cheap as Aeroflot, and the airline is less likely to cancel flights if tensions with Iran flare up.

Compare prices on flight aggregators, then book directly on the airline's website or via Trip.com — Trip.com accepts foreign cards at the same price as the airline's site, sometimes slightly cheaper.

One traveler noted that Etihad and Emirates are almost always cheaper than Aeroflot for UAE flights, though they've never flown Aeroflot on this route themselves.
