About Etihad (from Wikipedia):
Etihad Airways (Arabic: شَرِكَة ٱلْاِتِّحَاد لِلطَّيْرَان, romanized: sharikat al-ittiḥād li-ṭ-ṭayarān) is the national airline of the United Arab Emirates and one of the country's two major airlines (the other being Emirates). Its head office is in Khalifa City, Abu Dhabi, near Abu Dhabi International Airport. Etihad commenced operations in November 2003. It is the second-largest airline in the UAE after Emirates. The name Etihad is Arabic for 'Union'.
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 102 Airbus and Boeing aircraft as of February 2020. In 2015, Etihad carried 14.8 million passengers, a 22.3% increase from the previous year, delivering revenues of US$9.02 billion and net profits of US$103 million. Its main base is Abu Dhabi International Airport.
About A380 (from Wikipedia):
The Airbus A380 is a large wide-body airliner that was developed and produced by Airbus. It is the world's largest passenger airliner and only full-length double-deck jet airliner. Airbus studies started in 1988, and the project was announced in 1990 to challenge the dominance of the Boeing 747 in the long-haul market. The then-designated A3XX project was presented in 1994; Airbus launched the €9.5 billion ($10.7 billion) A380 programme on 19 December 2000. The first prototype was unveiled in Toulouse on 18 January 2005, with its first flight on 27 April 2005. It then obtained its type certificate from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on 12 December 2006.

I completely believe that you are self funded but if airlines offer you free flights in exchange for good reviews, would you take it?
It’s time for another video DJ of travels with your sweet mum they are very enjoyable to see how you enjoy being together From your UK fan EBlackhurst ❤
Do you have onlyfans
Veganism isn't necessarily healthy if you eat fries and loads of carbs like bread stuff.
Congrats! You've reached Boeing 777K Subscribers!!!
Don't encourage him. It'll be 787k next! 😊
Yessir
lol yes😊
He’s at the 778X
Next goal 787
yay!! Nonstop Dan has returned for his honest flight reviews once again!! So glad he's back after his break from social media in August! Great review and keep up with the hard work :)
I always feel like the lounge/mini bar is wasted on Business/First class. Why not make it available to premium economy and economy as they would most definitely be looking to get up and stretch their legs. Why would you get up from your comfy, private space to go "hang out" in a lounge?
Great video as always. The first video on your channel I watched was your previous Etihad A380 Apartments review. It’s cool to see how your videos have evolved over the years and have gotten better and better. Congratulations as well for hitting 777K subscribers.
Just noticed you reached 777k subscribers, congrats! Maybe its time to upload a 777 of any airline review. It's also nice to see Etihad make a huge comeback and even financially they're finally making a good profit now.
who's the guy he's always traveling with
@@n3wt his friend Oscar
Love your channel! The way you're so honest and not sugarcoating anything or accepting sponsorships is what makes me feel that way.
00:50 “London Heathrow the worst airport in Europe”
Lisbon frequent flyers laughing in the corner
Wow, I've never felt poorer in my life. First time I ever had heated nuts was on a United domestic flight in the US and it was amazing! I did win an upgrade to business with Air Canada returning from Buenos Aires (12hrs to Montreal), but I was too sick to really enjoy it. Given my stomach issues from traveling to a new country, it surely was a better experience than the premium economy seat I originally booked. Thanks for the content, Dan. I would LOVE to have a flight like that for a good 12hr trip.
How did you get the upgrade? Credit card points? Personal money?
That last review was an absolute classic. Looking forward to this one!
Whoa! That vacation time did a Dan good! Thanks for coming back with another fantastic flight review. We missed you!
I just stepped out of the Etihad A380 First Class Apartments in London for my upcoming report - and I have a feeling that, summing up all details and parts of it (except for the lounge), this is now the best first class in the world. Comparing with the competition in the Arab Peninsula, and also Singapore Airlines First Class Suites and Cathay First Class. They simply offer it all..... (however, not the excellent wines that only Emirates has)
Service on Etihad cannot compare with Emirates.
Congrats on 777K Subs Dan! Glad to have been a subscriber for a while.
It's always a good day when Dan uploads❤
If I'm honest it's a little heartbreaking to watch this knowing that even economy is over budget for me rn. But I love these two sweet Swedes! Ohhhh I love them.
Loved the editing. Super stuff.
Welcome back Dan! Missed you. 😊
I recently went with the Etihad b787 to visit Germany where half my family lives, this video really brigngs back the memories. What an experience
Another great review.. I now check your reviews for seat information.. I will be sat in 22k on the Qatar 380 lhr to bkk.. was great to meet you back in June @pride bkk.. cheers D&O..
777k subs, congrats and very well deserved!
Dan is Back! Finally get to see more plant-based food around the world!
I remember when you did the first brutally honest Etihad review and you got quite a lot of unwarranted hate for that. I love that you make honest reviews and don't let anyone pressure you to sugarcoat these reviews.
Didn’t he have to turn off the comments because it got so bad? I swear I remember one of his videos where he had to turn it off.
Yay! I can’t believe I’m getting a Nonstop Dan video 4 hours after a posting!!!!! I love your reviews! 😊😊😊
When the entire point of the obscene luxury is absolute comfort a too hard bed is not a first world problem.
Love this channel and you guys channel 👍🏼
Etihads boarding music is soooo euphoric…. but nothing beats the old one !
Great first video back after your break. I loved the Apartment when I had the pleasure to fly years ago and I like a firm bed so I was happy with it. 😁
So glad you tried Ethihad again. Hope it was a better experience
Heathrow is great when flying Virgin Atlantic with the private check in wing for Upper Class check and the amazing lounge. And I imagine it's great when flying business with BA and access to BA'a awesome lounges
Heathrow and BA are currently a disaster, regardless of the class of travel
Some people actually prefer hard sleeping surfaces, so the bed would probably appeal to many.
That suite is impressive, and almost a crime to only deploy it on a 6 hour flight.
It is very hard. I have a firm mattress at home, but the Etihad bed is like a rock. I stopped flying the Etihad apartment for this reason, as brilliant as the rest of the experience is.
I really like to see you enjoy all this luxury on board of an airplane! Nice!
hay Dan, pro tip: to remove the flicker of the lights in your videos, like when recording the lounge, you can (should) switch the recording from 50 to 60 fps or vice-versa, basically switching the video framerate from PAL (Europe and most of the world) to NTSC (America and Japan, mostly).
Wow the gift bag looks amazing
Missed ya Dan! Excited to see the new video
On youtube ready to watch a video, but sees Dan has uploaded a new video: Sorry lady, shows over, step aside and make way for My Man Dan
Been waiting for this !
Etihad and Qatar airways both are understated elegance, uncluttered, functiona. Impressive thank you for featuring 👍👏👏👏
You actually can invite people from coach into your apartment in first depending on the airline. I had a man do that once back in the day. We became friends in line and he sent the flight attendant to bring me up during the flight. I'm not sure if it's allowed but it does happen!
Love it. ONE! I still remember your last trip in the Etihad Suite and it’s a relief there was no catastrophe this time. Funny, if I’m correct, that your had the same suite for this flight. The hard bed was an issue five years. I’m wondering, with several suites empty, if it might have helped to have a blanket beneath you. The loss of chef is normally not a huge deal, but the chef on your last flight was a highlight of the journey. All in all, another fascinating video. Great to see you made it through Heathrow to the UAE without incident!
Same
Last time I flew into Heathrow and my first time flying into T5 was insane. I flew in from Innsbruck after a skiing holiday and my parents had skis. So I went to the oversized baggage at the arrivals hall, it seemed that there was about 5 across the whole hall. It then came off the regular baggage carrousel. We where never told.
That hardly insane is it
Dan: makes a valid complaint, after paying thousands of dollars/miles, that wouldn't be an issue on most other airlines
Comments section: I can't even afford water
Hello Dan! Nice to watch this comprehensive review. I love the fact that you travel (self funded) to present us with finest products in the sky. In fact, I am a big fan of you and I always use your videos as my travel hacks and reference. By the way, don't worry about the Haters, you're my champion, you record history, you tell us the story, to inspire us about future legacy and you become who you meant to be which you are a legend and the king of the skies. Bless you Dan! keep It up .
One whole month of no Nonstop Dan☹ But He' s back! Btw congrats on 777K subs!
Loved it………”that’s for the Onlyfans”, made me laugh 😂😂😂
Welcome back Dan 👏
Fantastic content as always.
Congrats to 777.000 Subscribers keep going. 🎉
This looks great Dan
Had the honor of the Appartement on a trip SYD-AUH-CDG before the pandemic, best experience ever, I slept 7 hours! especially on a really long leg from about 12-13hours. I don’t understand why nowadays the A380 from etihad is only operated from LHR-AUH. Way too short…
Truly enjoyed this review
Awesome to see (both of ) you back & on top form,always a pleasure. Very best wishes to you&yours💥👊👏👏👏💙💙👌❤️💯👋⭐️'s✌️🙏
Whoa Dan's back!!
Looks like your a 777k subscribers dan, congatulations!
Generally not perfect but still a very lovely flight, love your videos, also try my luck to get that amenity kit :P
Heathrow is often great - you haven’t really explained your prejudice against it
I've not had problems at Heathrow but I only fly a few times a year so I may just have been lucky. Sadly don't expect I'll ever fly business class
Very fantastic vlog👍
Hi Dan, hope you enjoyed your break! Boeing 777k subs now. 🎉🎉So are you saying you prefer Emirates over Etihad? Great review!❤️✈️
When do super cute guys get to One Million !?!?!?! Merry Christmas Dan and Oskar!!!!
Welcome back! ❤
Nice Video and fantastic
*Dan's back and apparently ready to rock!*
🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
*Updated A380 review!
A New vlog channel!
And a New podcast!*
You should've played Jenga with those chips (FrEnCh FrIeS).
Congrats Dan well done mate
Ah! Been waiting to hear your thoughts on Etihad's A380 in First Class. :-)
I posted videos of the Etihad apartment and shower 6 years ago. Never realised that doing it with a quality video rig could be a business opportunity.
Hi Dan! I wonder if you could try the airline AIR CHINA (not China airlines)?
Love your videos and keep up the work!
I am living vicariously through your journey.
Congrats on 777k 😉
Finally, after a month, maybe you should also try Norse Atlantic Airways and ITA Airways
My favourite livery on Etihad. Also the blue version 💙
Helt fantastisk video!
Amazing suites!
I don’t see twentysomethings flying first on their own dime. Prices aren’t discussed, wonder why.
I'm a Marks & Spencer fan as well
Brutally Honest????? Omg wow a simply aviation and nonstop Dan collab!
When I saw the title, I thought you reuploaded the same video from 5 years ago
Dan ur the best!!!!!!!!
you are at 777k subscribers!!!!
hey man, id love to see you do jetblue mint again since its been... 5 years... yea please try it :)
I like Heathrow.. but only T3 and T5 👍🏻
Nice content
A dissapointment in flying A380s is because of it's windows . It's windows are of the size of an average palm of the hand . It's in every airline.
OK so the 5 year old video legit popped up on my CZcams yesterday and I rewatched it.. youtube knew you had this video coming out lol
Wow Dan looks good
I've really missed the pair of you - welcome back and I hope your break was great xx
777K subs!!!! ❤🎉
you need to fly delta airlines and their delta one suites if you ever want to go to east asia from the US!
You're living the dream!
I was wondering but looking back could you have asked for another mattress topper?
Could you please tell me who in the world wants all this that this offered on a 6 hour flight, and who in hell wants all that poncy food that is offered, normal high end restaurant food is more in line with customer requirement, bloody shower on a 6 hour flight god you are only a little while from your hotel or airport shower room for a more reasonable price. It just goes to show how some people have so little sense of money and how many routes can this layout fly to make economical sense to the airline.
for people like dan, its more of a hobby than anything. some other people prefer their flights to be comfortable, and others just want it to be cheap. it’s like saying why do children want toys when its just a waste of money, they just wanna have fun! dont worry about what others do with their money and just worry about yourself :)
Dan: Sorry game changer
Game changer: And I took that personally
Veganism isn't necessarily healthy if you eat fries and loads of carbs like bread stuff.
Etihad has the best boarding music (both old and new), hands down!
E Box = Entertainment Box. At least that's what I would guess.
hey hey hey it is starting again! :)
never excepted this
How would you rate this compared to the Singapore airlines suite?
Looking forward to the first video in the new vlog channel 1:14
Yes
Heyy you should try air india again once they have their a350s
Voss water is stellar
So did you comment about the poor bed to Etihad? Any response if you did? Thanks for your honesty!
