| Flight Experience | Air Europa’s 2-2-2 business class cabin layout isn’t my favorite since only some seats have direct aisle access. However, seats are lie-flat so you can at least be comfy. Crews are generally friendly and the inflight catering to be solid. | On most dates out of JFK, you’ll find the newer 1-2-1 reverse herringbone layout. For the best experience and most privacy, try to book flights with this cabin configuration. | | How To Search | Search with Etihad: | Select One way or Round trip Select number of passengers Select class of service Enter origin and destination Select date(s) Select Pay with miles Click Search flights
