13 Hours on Etihad Airways Business Class - Chicago to Abu Dhabi

[@PatNeedhamUSA]

Hey Ricky I've been watching a bunch of business class airline seat reviews recently, and your channel is the best IMO.

[@GenkisTravels]

Great video! I just did their First Class to Washington DC, absolutely loved it.

[@elizabethyoung4690]

I have discovered your profile and I am hooked. I am a Travel Agent and I agree with the Amenity kit leaving a lot to be desired. I felt that even BA business class amenity kit is better! Considering the price you will pay with Etihad airways, I expect a bit more however service and food is just divine.

[@bullfrog24260]

With all that food, I am amazed you stay so slim !

[@ChaseYokoyama]

Hearing your review of the food/meals is always my favorite part.

[@Pkafa]

I wish someone would review the vegtrerian food options in business class

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing your flight here.. That was nice you were here in Chicago a few days ago...Nice...

[@harveyspecter777]

You should fs try Fiji Airways business class from Fiji to any Australia target. Apparently is extremely revered?

[@_Ricky]

It’s on my list! 🎉

[@harveyspecter777]

@@_RickyI’ll definitely hang around on this channel to see it

I Love the A350 Like Business on A350-1000.Great work

[@XLRSAv]

Fantastic video, as always.

[@msaylorBTC100M]

ORD - AUH is a fifth freedom flight for Etihad... will be using miles when I take that flight

[@gs98999]

Going on business trip over to UAE soon. Have choice of Emirates (a380) to Dubai or Etihad (787)to AD, both business class. Which is a would you choose? 13 hr flight.

[@_Ricky]

Emirates if you value the novelty of the A380 bar, Etihad if you value a better seat and onboard food and drink.

[@colinrenfrew48]

Great video, with fine detail. Good job!

[@Akshay_Chauhan]

I'm curious to see . Vegetarian menu.🙂 What they have..

[@divvish]

I have been looking at trying to buy a business class flight from ORD to AUH, but can't find any in aeroplan like you mentioned. Any changes?

[@thepointsflyer]

great video mate love the business

[@_Ricky]

Thanks 👍

[@clerouxbotha2784]

Lovely video. I never miss your reviews 🤩

[@_Ricky]

Glad you like them!

[@windnsea26]

Hi. Love the videos! I’m flying this flight with my wife. What seats would you recommend. I chose middle seats but am now thinking the sides by the window may be better. Thank you

[@lillettuce]

great video ricky !

[@XenoHere]

Did you purchase this through the aeroplan website?

[@editpro8454]

6:55 its not pastry it is crossiant

[@iamthatiam1111]

Whoa who were you able to purchase miles at 45! ??? I was online it's 25k.

[@MattCook206]

the food looks amazing! love the steak sandwich. great video as always, thanks !n

[@kamalgurung5155]

does etihad business class include united polaris lounge access in chicago?

[@_Ricky]

Nope, it includes access to the Swissport Lounge in T5 (which is pretty bad)

[@kamalgurung5155]

@@_Ricky dang! I have 9 hours layover there! would be a long day. thanks for the reply thou

[@danielmarcotorrente4437]

Doesn't it looks like the ba business class seat?!

[@maysusana1]

With the business class ticket Etihad, is that mean we can using the Etihad lounge in airport free of charge incl food , drink etc ?

[@imapoketrader]

yes

[@downtown8753]

The guy peeking behind you was funny LMAO...

[@ShadowBladee1]

4:08 lmao

[@zmfischer]

Nice video. I find myself overly stuffed with food after the lounge and business/first class flights. I guess that's vacation.

[@chinaberg]

But you aren't based in Chicago, so what were your positioning costs?

[@MelissaC269]

great video!!!! Thank you.

[@patriciafuchs5970]

Great video!

[@HughesyTech]

Just came across your channel and well balanced , critiques but also highlighting the positives. I have points to burn, but tossing up between Qatar a380 first class or qsuites Qatar, or Etihad business class Never been on any of them, what's your recommendation

[@imapoketrader]

q suites

[@rayrogers7458]

Good job with the video, but how nice do you have to be to get all the mains?😊

[@_Ricky]

Have to ask very nicely

[@BIZOFBUSINESSWITHKANZA]

Wow man, you booked this flight for less than $20. Lucky you!

[@amirulmukminin4208]

Please try Malaysia Airlines

[@valyHitmanu]

uuu i dare you to go incognito on the economy class and don't wait in the vip lodge 😈😈 "enjoy" the other side of Abu Dhabi international

[@thomas1942]

Great Video! I'm wondering how you reach your starting Airport for your videos. Do you take the train or fly regular economy to reach your starting airport? How long do you usually stay at your destination airport/city? Do you usually take a couple days to make a long weekend out of it?

[@_Ricky]

In this case I flew YVR-ORD in business. If I had more time then a longer stay in Chicago would’ve been nice :)

[@DiggingNorway]

Your alcohol consumption concerns me, was that the same glass of red for all three dishes? You skipped the white for the shrimps... naughty boy

[@mreppen1]

Jesus.

[@numerologicatarot3333]

Lol

[@_Ricky]

Guilty 😅

[@jainilshah9795]

Man, how did you manage to score this ticket in 85k points? Are there some hidden ways to get such tickets?

[@_Ricky]

You have to be very flexible and find the right date

[@naitcst]

Do westjet 787 from Calgary to London

[@twodimensionsjhr]

What do you do at the cities you visit? or do you just hop on flights back home or to other places?

[@_Ricky]

Here in Doha for the World Cup 😊

[@abdulrahmanalali51]

Hey Ricky

[@russellwang71017]

Great video as always! And I’ve been meaning to ask you these. First, how did you manage to ask for multiple main courses? Wouldn’t the crew tell you you can’t do that? Second, in light of the recent incidents of Aeroplan freezing members’ Aeroplan accounts, what would you say is the best course of action to take in order to get the frozen accounts unlocked? Third, what are the camera gears you used to shoot this vlog? Thank you!

[@dharmjayaraj]

You can order whatever and whenever you want on any business class flight

[@davidmirandajr]

For about 6 k, totally unworth it unless youre way well off imho

[@BIZOFBUSINESSWITHKANZA]

My dream ❤ One day! Amen 🙏

[@davidmirandajr]

👍

[@mariobeier8688]

I like Etihad 🤟

[@louiseleonard1992]

My dad is from Chicago

[@Hall_lola11]

you must either get free points or wow you must spend an amazing amount of money each and every month to pay on points. Be great to hear more about this. You cant keep getting credit card deals as your credit rating would be zero so love to hear how. I wont hold my breath waiting on reply.

[@_Ricky]

Getting credit cards doesn’t actually hurt your score if you use them responsibly Here’s some info: princeoftravel.com/guides/the-credit-impact-of-a-credit-card-life-cycle/

[@rem05033]

Good video. Your recommendation to use miles for purchasing business class seats is not useful for the majority of your viewers...just an FYI.

[@stevena9305]

It’s useful for folk lucky enough to have the points - of course the trick is obtaining them in the first place.

[@holidayusa098]

Not bad video a bit boring ..What happened to business class lounge in Chicago ???

[@craigster750]

I hope the people next to you can't hear you.

[@ajazvahora3124]

Such a worst airlines, They paying this youtubers free seats for marketing but originally this Airline is worst. My family (1 adult 2 kids under 5) recently traveled JFK to AMD-India 1) they did not allowed handbagge to throw with checked baggage. 2) flight was delayed 4 hours. 3) out of 6 bags, 1 bag came at AMD. Now calling at Etihad about bags no answers from them they don't now we have to airport for inquire which 2 hours away one way.( $200 a trip to check bag at AMD) Such a worst experience.. specially with small kids...

[@_Ricky]

This wasn’t a free seat

[@annapace1871]

The worse airline ever. They did so many bad things to me. Never again.

[@chrisak49]

I’m the guy behind you and I peeked over at 4:10 mark. Please be more respectful and keep your voice down next time.

[@TsLeng]

Booo.... Mind your own business.

[@golfie70]

I was thinking the same thing watching this and other videos, maybe do voiceovers for the parts of the video when most of the cabin is asleep. I understand this is his business but also have consideration for others around you

[@alaskanwhiskey]

Bro he wasn't even that loud 💀

[@chrisak49]

@@alaskanwhiskey It was pretty loud and annoying because he messes up his voice overs multiple times and does multiple takes. So you hear him repeat the same thing like 5-6 times.
