  • WELCOME to Wandering Scholar, a 20 years old frequent flyer from Shanghai
    To all my subscribers, it is my pleasure to see you back !
    Etihad Airways has always been celebrated as having one of the best first class in the sky following the airline's A380 launch. However, in the post-pandemic world of air travel, the carrier's excessively lavish A380 is replaced with a much more modest 787 equipped with its first generation first class suite.
    Modest is a word to describe the cabin ambiance. But it does not preclude Etihad's 787 first class from offering sumptuous amenities with 2002 vintage champagne and ultra-exclusive lounge facility at Abu Dhabi.
    Join me onboard this 7 hours flight from Abu Dhabi to London to experience first handed Etihad's finest hospitality in 2022.

    The stength and perseverance you showed having to walk curbside to the private first class check in area at the end of the terminal with the obvious absence of any bellman is amicable!! The obvious discomfort you must of experienced from lifting the 70lb bag BY YOURSELF! must of really diminished your travel experience in the inhospitable check in area #sad #perseverance #survivor

    I have to agree with some of the comments here, quite disrespectful . No porters to lift my 70lb / 32kgs bag. You packed it, you carry it ! Why should some poor porter lift all your crap ! I am all for porters , limit should be 50lb/ 23kgs. It's not their fault your bag weighs like cement !

    This was my first review that I seen from this channel and I don’t know about anyone else, but the person in the video comes across as a pretty rude person. I understand that it is an expensive product and you want it’s worth but there’s a line between an amenity/perk and flat out entitlement to receive a service. I also don’t really understand why you called a fellow passenger a “wanker” (I’m going to assume that is a language issue) and the comment about the UAE government and its videography policy? I know they have rules but that was some very rash commentary about their government and also plenty of other CZcamsrs filmed the airport without issue before so I’m confused about the statement.

    Welcome back (and home). Hope you had a wonderful summer break?
    Outstanding detailed video and loved the food & beverage choices. I do have two questions. I don't fly very often now but when I did fly in business class always picked up two boxes of chocolates like Callebaut or Godiva to give to the flight crew. One for up front and the other for those working in economy class. I was wondering if you ever do anything like this? Secondly, ifs it proper etiquette to tip at the end of a meal service in the lounge before your flight departs? I've never used a lounge as I tend to arrive at the airport as late as I possibly can. Thank you again for taking the time and putting forth much effort to share such a quality video.

    • @ShanghaiFlyer
      @ShanghaiFlyer  Před rokem +3

      Thanks for checking in ! I had a wonderful summer indeed. To answer your questions, I tip at the lounge where they offer sit down service all the time since it’s just like a restaurant. While inflight I often ask the crew for their name at the end of the flight so I may submit compliments later on.

    Thank you very much for another very polished and stylish review..your comments are simply poetic:) Strange is their filming hyteria in the airport - as you certainly know once again is the much more lieral country than Abu Dhabi..and once again religion is used as an excuse. I agree it looks like avery good and enjoyable product. The decline of Etihad seems to show only in the wine list - which is simply cheap for First Class. A 2016 Bordeaux runs in the 20 Euro range in retail..same for the italan wine. This is a range served by EK and QR in their business class, while EK serves F wines in the 150 to 300 € range in the air . Our poor european airlines like KLM of course dont hesitate to serve you 9 Euro wines in Business. Yet, you did the right thing to choose the Graves which was a bit sticking out of this Business Class lowland:))) Did i miss the caviar btw?

    Although there are food and beverage options on flights, it is unfortunate that Etihad, alongside other muslim-owned airlines, that provide alcohol (forbidden in Islam) to attract mostly its non-muslim passengers. There are non-alcoholic alternatives too. However, Etihad is afraid that it will lose its business/first class passengers if changes are made.
