Why Etihad's A380 Economy Class is Worth the Money

Welcome and please join me on my first experience onboard an A380 with Etihad!
This was a mile rewards ticket. I used 22,000 Etihad Guest miles + USD 209
for this one-way trip ticket from Bangkok to London with a short layover in Abu Dhabi.

Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed!

[@normanmcleod7169]

Yes I viewed your walking tour of the new airport and both there and here on this vlog, I thought it looked very attractive. Even had carpet in some areas ... who wants to walk miles on concrete

[@BoardingTimeHD]

Hi Norman. Nice to hear from you as always. Thank you very much! It's a really nice airport. Great observation about the carpet! All the best and stay tuned for my next experience!

This is the new best trip report of Etihad A380, when you overtook GM Aviation’s recent one. I hope you fly from AUH to JFK on the Etihad A380 as the rumours said they will be flying that route with the A380. What date do they start?

[@BoardingTimeHD]

Thank you very much Shaurya! I really appreciate your comment! I hope to fly the A380 from AUH-JFK anytime soon. Etihad already started using again the A380 in that route since last April and operates as flight EY 1. The re-inaugural flight was operated by the A6-API which is the same plane that I am flying on this report. Take care!

Hola. Welcome! Thank you very much!

Hi, I will be going for the first time, so I have a few questions: If we check in with etihad online, do we need to check in again at the etihad counter at the airport? Can you choose your seat and type of food when checking in? When going to Bangkok with etihad from London with a connection to Abudabi, do we need to pick up our luggage at the airport and hand it back to the etihad Bangkok flight while boarding the second flight in Abudabi or is it transferred automatically?

[@BoardingTimeHD]

Hi there. Let me start with your last question. If Bangkok is ticketed as your final destination from London, then you will pick your luggage at Bangkok. While in transit, you will have to go thru security in Abu Dhabi in order to access to the gates' area. It's easy...just follow the signs. You can select your seat at check-in, but I don't recall about the food. If you do your check in online usually you just need to show your passport and the boarding pass before you drop the luggage. Enjoy and have a great trip!

@@BoardingTimeHD thanks

[@ibrahim3916]

[@BoardingTimeHD]

Hi Ibrahim. Another Etihad's experience is coming! I will try to post it before your trip. Best!

[@ibrahim3916]

Thank u so much love ur vids!

[@BoardingTimeHD]

@@ibrahim3916 Anytime! I am glad that you like them!

[@HelenLegaspi-d9c]

I'll repeat my question...it's ok other passenger take vlogging inside plane while on boarding like you??or not allow if it's not a vloger

[@BoardingTimeHD]

Sorry if I missed your question before. Most of the crews are ok with it but some of them they will communicate if they have some restrictions if that's the case but usually, they are good with that. Take care!

[@ladenscarf]

etihad still operates their a380s!!?? thats suprising

[@BoardingTimeHD]

Yep!

[@mariayanes2362]

aterrizaje muy suave.

[@Gerardo-g4m]

Primera cosa mata la musica no la necesitas del avion no me sorprende pues mi lists de favoritos ESTA en 3 Lugar despues de Emirates y Qatar otros son Singapore airlines Turkish airlines y subiendo ESTA India airlines El video ESTA super solamente la musica tiene que irse saludos de Jerry USA

[@BoardingTimeHD]

Muchas gracias Jerry por el comentario. Estoy de acuerdo con lo de la musica. Generalmente uso una GoPro con un suction cup pegada en la ventana para filmar los depegues y aterrizajes. El 380 tiene una pared muy ancha lo que hace que la GoPro tome la imagen de la pared alrededor de la ventana sin apreciarse tanto el exterior. Por ese motivo tuve que usar mi iPhone esta vez. Tuve que agregar la musica ya que por el moviemento del avion se escuchaba el ruido del telefono golpiando con la ventana. Un abrazo!

[@70SIXER7]

GOOD VIDEO BUT THAT MUSIC! WHEN WE WANT TO EAR THE ENGINE SOUND! JUST SUCKS!

[@BoardingTimeHD]

I agree, but unfortunately, I had to do it since I had to cancel out the phone by knocking on the window. If you watch my other videos, they don't have music as the plane takes off and lands.
