Etihad, the UAE’s flagship carrier, once aimed to redefine luxury travel and continues to push for an exceptional experience across all classes. In this trip report, we’ll explore whether Etihad’s legacy holds up or if it has become a shadow of its former self. We begin our journey at Abu Dhabi Airport, Etihad’s bustling hub. Our evening flight to Bangkok showcases the ups and downs of flying with a former 5-star airline. From a smooth boarding process (with some chaotic touches) to inflight comfort, we’ll dive deep into seat quality, adjustable headrests, inflight entertainment, and meals that, despite being airplane food, often surprise with their flavor. Etihad’s crew shines with warm hospitality, though there are areas for improvement—like restrooms and aging cabin features. And yes, Wi-Fi is available even on older 777s! About Etihad Airways (from Wikipedia): Etihad Airways (Arabic: شَرِكَة ٱلْاِتِّحَاد لِلطَّيْرَان, romanized: sharikat al-ittiḥād li-ṭ-ṭayarān) is the national airline of the United Arab Emirates. Its head office is in Khalifa City, Abu Dhabi, near Zayed International Airport. The airline commenced operations in November 2003, and is the second-largest airline in the UAE after Emirates. The airline operates more than 1,000 flights per week to over 120 passenger and cargo destinations in the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America, with a fleet of 85 Airbus and Boeing aircraft as of January 2024. Its main base is at Zayed International Airport. About the Boeing 777 (from Wikipedia): The Boeing 777, commonly referred to as the Triple Seven, is an American long-range wide-body airliner developed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The 777 is the world's largest twinjet and the most-built wide-body airliner. The jetliner was designed to bridge the gap between Boeing's other wide body airplanes, the twin-engined 767 and quad-engined 747, and to replace aging DC-10 and L-1011 trijets. Developed in consultation with eight major airlines, the 777 program was launched in October 1990, with an order from United Airlines. The prototype aircraft rolled out in April 1994, and first flew in June of that year. The 777 entered service with the launch operator United Airlines in June 1995. Longer-range variants were launched in 2000, and first delivered in 2004.
