The very first flight review on @Etihad's A380 return to the skies from London Heathrow to Abu Dhabi. The airline hasn't flown the A380 since 2020, but it's now back in the skies, exclusively on the London route.
The aircraft features The Residence, First Class and Business Class on the Upper Deck, with economy of the lower deck. This could be the most lavish A380 ever flown, and The Residence is now available to upgrade from your First Class ticket.
Have you flown Etihad's A380 before the pandemic? Are you excited for its return? Let us know your thoughts of your flight below!

I hope Etihad’s A380 joins its cousins on the route to Sydney again. What a wonderful experience you enjoyed.

Massive Etihad fan. I always take a stop and a change to get to Delhi rather than fly BA and pay their outrageous prices for a substandard product. Flying to Delhi in a couple of weeks and Business Return for well under £2K. I love the A380.

Jonny, an overlooked feature in all reviews I've seen is the amazing pneumatic seat which I love. Etihad's business suite must be the only one in the skies with this. Not only can you choose how hard of soft you have your seat but it also seems to alters the pressure slightly periodically too so like air-flow mattresses in hospital, redistributes weight making it a lot more comfortable than just a passive cushion.
@thedesignairvideo
@thedesignairvideo 11 месяцев назад
Hi Erwin, yes, it's a great feature, even though sometimes it's a little hit and miss, and actually Etihad aren't the only carrier to offer this, Swiss and a few other carriers as well offer pneumatic seat controls. I think it's an option on the Thompson Vantage range of seats as a whole.

I like Etihad and Oman and Gulf Air a lot, because of their boutique nature, and I feel they allow their crew to have a bit more personality. Qatar has a good hard product, but there's something magical about these smaller carriers.

I flew Business Heathrow to Manila return July 2023 on a Dreamliner there and back via AD and it was truly shocking. For a relatively new aircraft it was knackered, crew were OK, food not brilliant, nowhere near Emirates and an utter disappointment. Shame, the A380 was back on the Heathrow run to AD the following week, it looks a lot better.

Look forward to flying Etihad again on next year’s travels. BTW did you actually liberate the salt/pepper container? And what was in the black box that appears in some B-roll cutaways throughout the flight…and that dish of white packages at check-in?

Firstly, I don't understand the need for rear facing seats. They have no place on an aircraft. Secondly, those wheeled cases should be in the baggage hold and not on the aircraft. If the flight ewas to hit some seriously heavy turbulence the they could come flying out of the overhead bins and cause srious injury. Thirdly, that was just a plate of cold roast beef. Carpaccio is RAW beef fillet that does not under go any form of cooking.
