Flying ETIHAD FIRST CLASS during COVID?

Рет қаралды 61,436

I flew on this First Class flight for less than coach/economy?! This is Etihad's First Class, and could very well be the best First Class flying at the moment. Offering full service whilst many other airlines have cut back to offering next to no First Class service. Come with me on my journey today starting in Abu Dhabi and flying over to Geneva Switzerland. Also... I may have tried flying a plane for the first time in the United Arab Emirates.
I'll take you through the meals offered, the incredible bedding, super comfy pyjamas and amenity kit. We'll take a comprehensive look at what the hard product is like comparable to current First Class flights offered. I flew Emirates First Class on their 777 known as the Game Changer just a few weeks ago and I can tell you now, Etihad hold's it's own!
I'll walk you through exactly how I booked this and show you how you can do the same. Please let me know what you think below and feel free to drop me any queries.

Been longing to watch this one and it impressed me. What a spectacular experience- this was in my opinion too, what looked to be the best First experience of 2020! The suite (were you facing backwards?) looked super comfortable but the dining experience - very well thought out and executed, none of this covid b******t! Thanks so much for sharing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks so much for watching ☺️ the reason I don’t clip the mic is the background noise of the engines is usually too great and drowns my voice out even using the lav mic. Hope to have a solution soon ✈️

JNB-AUH-LHR for £33 and 80,000 miles which was bought in a sale so only cost £1300 flying 787-10 in J studio first leg and A380 on F Apartments second (sadly there was no F cabin on the first leg due to equipment swap still an amazing experience nonetheless!!!

Metal spoon with caviar is not a problem at all and only people without knowledge would complain (which are a lot). The point is that only a very few metals react with proteins (oxidation). Silver is one of them, which causes a dry taste if in contact with proteins. Using mother-of-pearl spoons is an expensive market gimmick and due to misconceptions which won't go away.

@syedyounuszaid997 2 жыл бұрын

Skytrax is a total scam which ask airlines to pay them extra for high ranking, and this rumor kinda makes sense when airlines like British airways who have way more inferior product than etihad are ranking higher than etihad and etihad is getting lower rank coz of this reason

You can't always drink champagne. What's wrong ? And that's not an excuse to drink Coke (even diet....). If you can't always drink champagne, then just get wine or a bloody Marry. Easy. And remember : whatever the question is, the answer is 'champagne. Great review as always. Thanks and welcome to my home town... even if for few hours.

Seems Air Canada have changed their aeroplan so you no longer can buy miles like you show in this video you buy points and it's now more costly to use points than cash. Wonder if any of the partner airlines in the program are still able to buy miles instead of points....that was definitely a good idea but seems the airlines got wise to your trick and possibly other KZfaqrs mentioning it and changed it.
