Etihad First Class Reviews

(Credit: Etihad)

Etihad first class is considered a superb product. Etihad first class reviews praise the Etihad seats, which feature enclosed cabins on their aircraft. Superb food and drink paired with excellent service is cited by reviewers, leading to an extremely pleasant flight. Etihad A380 aircraft also feature a shower, allowing for a rare experience in the sky for first class guests. Other features — such as IFE, bedding, and amenity kits — are also competitive. The only weakness is WiFi, which is rated as mediocre. Overall Etihad provides an excellent way to travel in first class.
