Etihad Airlines, based in Abu Dhabi UAE, is known for their flashy luxury seats<\/a> and for having some of the best food in the sky<\/a>.<\/p>

Prior to this trip, I had only flown Etihad once on a short route from Abu Dhabi to Istanbul<\/a> so I was very excited to try a long haul product, on their new A350-1000 nonetheless. <\/p>

Now this was going to be a long haul flight, about 11 hours from JFK to Abu Dhabi airport. Etihad had only recently started flying their new A350 when I took this route so I got a glimpse of the new seat configuration from other travelers that have taken it.<\/p>

The business class on the A350 is unlike any other from Etihad, configured in a 1-2-1, each seat is considered a “suite” with a door at each seat. While some think the seat door is a gimick, I think it makes a big difference, especially once you figure out how to unlock it<\/a>.<\/p>

I planned to take full advantage of this flight to experience the seat, food, and overall experience of Etihad staff.<\/p>

Booking Process<\/h2>

Etihad is known as a premier airline, so flight prices don’t come cheap, especially in business class. A flight on the A350-1000, one of Etihad’s newest aircraft, can run you over $5,000. This is even greater than what Emirates charges on the same route.<\/p>
