Bengaluru, India – Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, is bringing the spirit of travel to Namma Bengaluru with a two-day immersive destination experience on 14^th and 15^th  November, showcasing five destinations for travellers looking for their next winter escape.

The activation will invite visitors to discover Luxembourg, Calgary, Berlin, Bucharest and Gothenburg, highlighting the growing choice available to Bengaluru travellers connecting with Etihad via Abu Dhabi. From Christmas markets in Luxembourg and Berlin to the Canadian Rockies through Calgary, the destinations bring together European city breaks, winter adventures and new cultural experiences.

Through a series of interactive zones, visitors will be able to explore the destinations through games and family-friendly activities designed to bring the travel experience to life. A destination-guessing challenge will feature a simulated baggage conveyor belt, with participants challenged to identify the correct destination.

The activation, launching on Children’s Day, will also feature a dedicated children’s zone, with an aircraft-themed display, story characters and drawing activities. Visitors can collect stamps on a boarding-pass-style activity card as they complete four interactive zones, with those completing the experience eligible to enter a raffle for prizes including signed Manchester City merchandise and Etihad treats.

Naveen Chawla, Head of Region for the Indian Subcontinent, Russia and CIS at Etihad Airways, said: “Bengaluru in State of Karnataka is an important gateway in India for Etihad and we want to inspire travellers by bringing some of the destinations they can discover with us to life. From festive European city breaks to winter adventures in Canada, this experience gives visitors a taste of the choice available through our home in Abu Dhabi.”

“We also want our guests to make Abu Dhabi a part of their journey. Our stopover programme makes it easier to spend time discovering the city before travelling onwards, bringing another dimension to the holiday and more choice to the overall travel experience.”

Travellers flying with Etihad can also make Abu Dhabi part of their holiday rather than simply connecting through the UAE capital. The city offers a growing mix of culture, entertainment, and leisure experiences, including Yas Island, the Saadiyat Cultural District and the newly opened Zayed National Museum.

Etihad’s Abu Dhabi Stopover programme offers travellers the option to add up to two complimentary hotel nights in Abu Dhabi to their booking, allowing travellers to explore the UAE capital before continuing to their final destination.

Guests can also discover Etihad Guest, the airline’s loyalty programme. Etihad Guest members can earn miles when they fly, offering an additional benefit for travellers planning their winter journeys.

The activation will take place at Orion Mall, Bengaluru on 14^th and 15^th November 2026.
