Hot wheels to Dublin

Etihad Airways has introduced a special offer to its business class customers who are travelling from Cork or Shannon via Dublin, and onwards to its home base of Abu Dhabi and beyond.
The improved road network between Dublin, Cork and Limerick has encouraged more people to drive to Dublin, rather than take domestic flights and Etihad is providing a free Audi A4 for the purpose.
The cars can be picked up from the Hertz desk at both Cork and Shannon airports and dropped off at Dublin, saving on the hassle and cost of car parking at the airport.
The average passenger, however, will not be able to enjoy the privilege; it will only be available for those passengers who have paid at least €1,999 to the airline's principal Middle East destinations of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and considerably more for destinations beyond.
Etihad flies 10 times weekly to Abu Dhabi from Terminal 2 at Dublin.
