14 Hours in Etihad A380 Business Class from Abu Dhabi to New York

Join me as I fly Etihad’s iconic A380 in Business Class from Abu Dhabi to New York — a flight that reminded me why this product is still one of the most enjoyable ways to cross the Atlantic. Yes, the seat is from an older generation and is being phased out on Etihad’s newer aircraft, but it still holds up remarkably well. It’s spacious, comfortable for lounging, and great for getting real sleep on a long-haul like this. What really elevated the experience, though, was the outstanding food and service. The crew were warm, attentive, and genuinely proud of the product. Etihad’s dine-on-demand offering was a highlight — the ability to eat what you want, when you want, makes a huge difference on a 13+ hour flight. Whether it’s a full meal mid-flight or just a small snack before landing, the flexibility adds a real sense of luxury. From comfort to control to world-class hospitality, Etihad’s A380 Business Class still delivers. Let’s take a closer look at why.
