| Reviews | The amazing thing about this new first class, other than the fact that it comes only three years after the last first class was introduced, is how it had improved on an already outstanding product. Business Traveller, UK | The seat is as excellent as ever. What has improved from previous experiences is the confidence of the staff, and their professionalism. Firmly recommended. Business Traveller |
Delightful. The menu is varied and served on-demand. The design of the self-contained chairs makes it feel like you are the only person on the flight. Business Traveller Africa |

Hi Tina,
I just wanted to thank you for recommending Etihad - they were excellent and it's been the most comfortable trip I've had to Europe in years! You have been an absolute delight to deal with and I look forward to contacting you again for my next trip.
Many thanks!
Hi Keren
I’m back and sorry about cancelling the car! My beloved INSISTED he wanted to pick me up so the chauffeur had to be ditched. Now just wanted to give you some feedback, everything was excellent and I got to travel the Abu Dhabi London leg both ways on the brand new fancy super schmancy Diamond First Class and it is amazing! Everything was great, fast tracking through customs left right and centre, they could no do enough for me at the airport on all of the planes, would thoroughly recommend Etihad and it was worth the money and an excellent deal. Even the normally painful Heathrow part was quite tolerable after all the bowing and scraping.
Thanks again for making the organisation so smooth and here’s hoping Etihad continue with more good deals!
