All Hurdles Cleared

Think diamonds and pearls when you get on your airline starting blocks. You’ll have an unbeatable head start with a chauffeur driven ride (in over 25 major cities) and from there on, your trajectory ill follow what the Etihad Airways team has meticulously mapped out. Guy reveals that this airline has a trophy cabinet groaning with awards for its Diamond First and Pearl Business Class cabins, its atering, lounges and service. Immaculate preparation is the philosophy; limitless success has been the result.

Diamond First Class guests adore the private spaces where the seating is Ferrari leather-clad and can deliver massages worthy of any tested athlete. These cabin spaces become bedrooms with fully-flat beds, divine linens and duvets. They are also home entertainment rooms and dedicated tables for one to order freshly made gourmet sandwiches or a 10-course degustation menu prepared by a professional onboard chef. Before retiring, guests can luxuriate in spacious change rooms replete with Six Senses products. Nothing in Diamond First Class happens by any timetable but your own and you need never be disturbed.

Pearl Business Class is also a sanctuary of comfort and hospitality. Long, flat beds give you the refreshing sleep you often need. Its contented guests enjoy some of the world’s largest personal entertainment screens and the attention of a dedicated Food & Beverage Manager. Because every seat has direct aisle access, no one needs to make an Olympian effort in hurdling the feet of a relaxed neighbour to enjoy the freedom to move about.

Etihad’s airport lounges are located in key European cities such as London Heathrow, Manchester, Dublin, Frankfurt and in both terminals in Abu Dhabi. They echo onboard ambience and extend blissful hospitality to greater heights. Both First and Business lounges are high-tech business hubs to make sure that essential communications flow.

Etihad’s clever teamwork has now has seen the creation of strategic partnerships, codeshare agreements and vast airline networks throughout Europe. For instance, with Air France-KLM and airberlin, seamless travel is possible to your favourite destination: the Côte d’Azur, Cardiff, Cologne and even the tropical Seychelles.

There seems to be no barriers to greater achievements for Etihad.
