Etihad First Class (Apartments) - Sydney to Abu Dhabi (EY 455) - Airbus A380-800

  • This video is a continuation of my trip report on a Virgin Australia B737-800 Business Class flight between Adelaide and Sydney. After arriving in Sydney, I have a long layover and decide to do a bit of flight simulation at Flight Experience.
    I return to the airport in the evening for my flight (EY455) to Abu Dhabi. I have a look at the Etihad check-in counter in Terminal 1, before having my boarding pass reissued at the First Class counter. I then head over to the Sydney Etihad Lounge and enjoy a meal there before boarding my flight.
    Once on board the A380, I review the First Class Apartment product. It's absolutely an amazing product that currently is the best First Class hard product in the sky. The size and the quality of the Apartment is simply stunning. I sample a number of items from the on-board menu, surf the net on the plane, and take a shower in-flight. The First Class bed and the on-board lounge facilities are looked at as well.
    The video ends upon landing and arrival at the gate in Abu Dhabi. However, it is to be continued by a trip report of my Etihad A380 First Class experience from Abu Dhabi to London.

    I'm far from rich, but had the opportunity to fly Business Class with my wife to Europe with Etihad on Virgin points. I asked how much it would cost to upgrade to First, and was told it would be $800 each. An unbelievable bargain! Every bit as good as this report, except that I skipped the champagne and had many glasses of the Premier Grand Cru Bordeaux.

      Ethiopian Airlines almost killed me and my three friends in the 90's. we were traveling from Kenya to Cairo, Egypt and had to stop in AD, Ethiopia for the connection. our travel agent didn't tell us there was unrest (revolution) in Ethiopia. Not only were we almost arrested at the airport because we paid for a drink with USD ( we just didn't know) but then in flight to Egypt the back door of the plane cracked open and there was slight pressure loss. The flight attendants stuffed towels in the cracks and said "don't worry" My friends and I ordered drinks and prayed for all on board including the chickens and various fruits and vegetables in the cabin. NO JOKE, TRUE STORY. I should write a book! Seems like they got their airline up to today's standards!

      I fly all the time domestic US for my work and I'm thrilled when I get a first class upgrade which here means I get leg room and a wider seat. Yeah free alcohol and meal but really just give me some more leg room and I'm happy. This is the result of a Middle-East airline funded by oil and the oppression of women. Yeah luxurious but also obscene. When he lands he is in a country where you don't see any part of a woman but her eyes we are so offensive.

    • @tek87
      @tek87 6 років тому +28

      A quick google search would show you that the UAE has a modest dress code compared to other middle eastern countries. Local women do not have to cover their face and they are extremely tolerant of foreign women dressing the way they want. Some women even wear bikinis. In fact lately, foreign women have been getting into trouble for not respecting the dress code. Not with men but with the local women. These women do not need rescuing. This is their culture. Take your SJW nonsense somewhere else.

Etihad now charges $43K for 2 people.

    They are very beautiful, and undoubtedly relaxing...but all I think about are those people in this world who don't have beds, or are starving, or are enduring some kind of harsh life. For me, I'm not putting anyone else down, I'm saying only for me, I know that I could not fully enjoy this because FOR ME it feels wrong to enjoy it when so many suffer.

    I’m so fascinated by the type of food served in these types of flights. They absolutely look divine! Now I’m getting hungry again...

      You should check out the food that's served on Emirates and Singapore Airlines. Those reviews are on my channel. Lots of food porn :)

    An amazing review, thank you. I would like to opportunity to fly first class one day. I have flown business class a few times and loved it. It is another world and the best way to travel.
