Etihad First Class to Abu Dhabi, Up To 4 Seats |
| Etihad delivers an unforgettable first class experience in The Apartments!
The catch?
Etihad is notoriously tight when it comes to releasing space to partners while it's own award rates are steep. Fortunately, Etihad is a partner with three bank programs. Just keep in mind that Etihad Guest’s cancellation fees are rough (more on that below).
Now, let’s get into it! |

Etihad's Apartments are arranged in a 1-1 cabin layout. Your seat is separate from your bed. Personally, I like the rear-facing window seats (3A and 3K). Plus, there's an inflight shower. You can expect caviar, champagne, and a very nice meal. With only 9 seats in the cabin, the service is also quite impressive.
Etihad's first class on the Boeing 787-9 is arranged in a 1-2-1 cabin layout. You can expect caviar, champagne, and a very nice meal. With only 8 seats in the cabin, the service is more personalized than you'll find in business class. |

| Best Ways To Book
Etihad: More Award Space, Easy To Earn
Let’s be frank, Etihad’s award rates are steep and the cancellation fees are egregious. While speculative bookings can make sense with other programs, I recommend only using Etihad miles when you’re confident you’ll take the trip.
However, Etihad Guest is your only option to book right now. Even if first class is 160,000 miles and The Apartments is 200,000 miles, you have your pick of dates.
Cancellation Fees: 21+ days from departure: 25% of miles redeemed 8 to 21 days from departure: 50% of miles redeemed 1-7 days from departure: 75% of miles redeemed Within 24 hours: 100% of miles redeemed
Change Fee: $30 |
