Flying 14 HOURS in Etihad Airways Business Class! (Is it worth the money?)
On today's episode of IkeTravels, I will be flying from Vienna, Austria's capital over to the busy Bangkok with Etihad Airways in their business class product. This video is the final leg in my 3 leg trip to Thailand and if you would like to watch the first part, check out the link below where I review my flight from London Heathrow to Vienna in the British Airways Club Europe (Europe business class) product.
London Heathrow to Vienna in Business Class - ua-cam.com/video/p18LmnJJX4E/v-deo.html
Today's journey was over 4,500 miles and cost me £1,050 one-way! I thought this was a fair cost considering I was flying over 14 hours with a comfy lie flat bed and of course all the other perks that come with flying in business class - but what do you think? Does the service stack up to some of their competitors?
Qatar Airways will be launching their NEW QSuites in 2025 and will appear first on the B777-9 so it might be time for some of the other middle-eastern airlines to crank up the gauge on the definition of luxury!

    Too small, I mean this is the problem for the whole European hotels. If you put this tiny 33sqm room in China, only worth 100 pounds. And all Mandarin Oriental and also other luxury brands has at least 50sqm as the size for entry level room. The standard in Asia is much higher that that in Europe, not to mention it’s very cheap to live. I never stay with luxury hotels in Europe just because it’s not worth it

Maybe its about how people behave towards them. If you're nice, they will be too? The ground crew - that's a slightly different story. Had some nice ground crew that had to dave me from the laziness and general incompetence of other ground crew. Also BA IT is world class rubbish. Edit: LOL!

    Just so you’re aware if you’re flying out of T3 you can also use the BA partner lounges with a business class ticket. These are AA/CX and Qantas. However it might have been a bit early on your visit as they might not have been open at that time but if you do fly out of T3 again it’s great fun lounge hopping, better that T5

My Club Europe flight was cancelled from LHR T5, so was sent on Air France in T3 and the grumpy woman who checks you arent taking more than 1 transparent packet for liquids told me that BA dont have a lounge in T3 so I missed out on that opportunity.

      @@Lk47233 The vibes were definitely good but during my stay it felt very much like a business hotel (People having meetings in the lobby etc) I'm being picky but it was the small things I noticed during my stay. It didn't change much but if you are looking for something more upbeat or with younger crowds then i'd definitely not consider this hotel. The bathroom/rooms were 10/10 in my opinion - they had speakers connectable in the bathroom and main room, all very modern and worth the money. Breakfast too was top-notch, in fact one of my fav aspects of my stay. All being said, I wouldn't stay again purely based on the location - I'd much prefer somewhere around the palm that is a bit more upbeat.

    Watched this as due to take this flight (BA011) in a couple of weeks, also in economy. Travelling as a couple so have taken a double (window/aisle) upstairs, which cost us about £70 extra per seat. Worth it I think to be in a pair (I also like a window, and my partner likes an aisle, so it works for us), and also to get the extra storage (under the window) that you get on the A380. By the way, the 380's are due quite a big re-furb, but not till next year (part of BA's "Better World" strategy)
