Etihad BUSINESS Class 787-9 Zurich to Abu Dhabi with FREE Chauffeur on arrival!!

Welcome to Zurich Airport in Switzerland. Today, I'm flying on Etihad Airways Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner to Abu Dhabi. I've flown with them several times in economy class, I'm excited to finally experience their business class product. In the future, I will also be reviewing Emirates and Qatar Airways, so let's go and see how good Etihad is first!

I had a 7hr stopover in Zurich and paid 49€ to use this lounge, was well worth the money, considering cost of restaurants in the airport and I could have a shower which was great.

[@brilliantbutblue]

As always, I enjoyed this review immensely. Particularly like that you included the day room option, whilst expensive it's still cheaper than a hotel taking into account the cost of travel to and from the city centre to do so. The Steak looked great. Any airport that has an outdoor space is fantastic in my opinion. Thanks once again Rory, appreciate your attention to detail. 👍

[@petewatson9866]

We have flown both Etihad & Qatar airways business class MAN to MNL, and are flying Emirates next March. All Middle East airlines offer a polished services we have found no complaints

[@peterpitrakkou3335]

Very Entertaining and Informative Rory. All the best and keep safe.

[@MiltBrady]

very good thank you

[@aprianto1985]

Great review and good information

[@kerilockwood7819]

Amazingly good Review Corey

[@jeffreytam1514]

Hope you will show us the Residence someday later. The rear-facing seats are wierd. I wonder who will be paying that much for those peculiar seats. Looking forward to seeing more videos of yours on Ethiad❤

[@Luvpig]

Love your videos ❤

[@garydemesa8002]

I cannot believe this guy only has 44 thousand subscribers.... He's really awesome..... Great videos..

[@rogerrees9845]

Thank you Rory for another thoroughly interesting and enjoyable documentary. From the cool of the Alps to the heat of the Desert you took us on a “first class” journey... well done.... Roger..... Pembrokeshire UK

[@Hello_69269]

Love the videos you are amazing thank you for sharing your travels ❤❤🎉🎉

[@prudencepineapple9448]

Kudos to you, Rory! I always watch your reviews as you are totally independent and give unbiased reviews. Your production values have also improved vastly. It both flummoxes and perplexes me as to why you don't have more subs. Keep going!

[@littlemiss_76]

I like your enthusiasm in every video Rory. 😊

[@maureen8966]

Hi Rory thank you for the video wasn't that much privacy between seats. Food looked ok. Hope you enjoyed your flight.

[@r4ndyboy]

lol... 10K seat on an etihad airways B787-9 is also my favourtie seat :D

[@user-qi6xl8hg2j]

I've flown Qatar long haul for my past 8 flights, they are fabulous,

[@dreemwalka]

Great vid as always...stupid algorithm hasn't shown me your vids in awhile... but I will come searching if I don't see your vids recommended to me

[@Peter_Monti]

Thank you for your videos, I can't afford to fly ✈️ in business class but I feel like I've been there because of your videos, it's a great way to fly wow

[@marconapflin2536]

Etihad have very nice deals and it's not that much. I fly from Frankfurt to Tokyo for only 1600 Euro in Summer to Tokyo.

[@Peter_Monti]

@@marconapflin2536 wow thats not too bad , thanks for the information 😀

[@gunvaldsandhaland7757]

I Allwas Try To Select Forward Facing Seat.Great Trip Report

[@kippen64]

I would have cleaned the seat too.

[@skala1977]

Such a good meticulous review, many thanks !! 👍🏻

[@colinrenfrew48]

Great video, and the onboard experience looks fantastic……if we ignore the dirty seat surround. Hopefully Etihad will see the video and sort this out. Having visited Zurich many times, I’m surprised as it’s one of the cleanest places….anywhere!

[@patriciafuchs5970]

Pretty utilitarian hotel. Sorry the area around your seat wasn’t properly cleaned. Cool seat area though. Food looked good.

[@melanesianpapuan]

Great Video !! Have you tried Gulf Air??

[@rickgrimes4576]

As you said and showed fly and dirty surface and then face towel, I have immediately the same thought, immediately wipe the surfaces 😅

[@mikes6221]

Another top quality video Rory. The seat area cleanliness was on an airline that offers so many prestigious services is a disappointment. However apart from that there were so many positives about your experience. I'm looking forward to the Etihad A350 1000 review. Excellent work as always mate

[@JJ-vy2rh]

I love the videos Rory can I ask what credit card you use?

[@TheStagswag]

Rear facing seats interesting

[@professornuke7562]

You went out on the balcony, and my brain immediately registered Kerosene.

[@sheriffjalloh6284]

Hey Rory Great video, could you do a Finnair video codeshare from qantas ❤

[@rasferrastfarian739]

Great video Rory - shame about the dirty seat surrounds, not good for a business/ANY service post covid. Thanks for your review!

[@Abnerbandanovotempoinscrito1mi]

Boa tarde boa viagem ai avião

[@mb3558]

For a young student, you sure have fair bit of 💰 and ⏰️ for travelling.

[@aussiejohn5835]

Hi Rory 👋 I am afraid that however good this experience looks, I would have asked for the seat to be cleaned especially when paying so much for the fare. The condition of the seat is often a sign of the overall hygiene of the aircraft. Your well done steak was swimming in sauce which also drenched the potatoes and vegetables on your plate. I would probably end up wearing the sauce. I am really enjoying your adventures and I look forward to more in the near future. Excellent presentation Rory, well done 👏

[@nrlwalsh]

good comment

[@jjjddd231]

Great detailed review as usual. The dirty seat is very concerning. Perhaps they expect passengers to use the sanitary wipes in their amenity kit to do their own cleaning.

[@marconapflin2536]

Best Business class which is somethimes very cheap and priceable. Super experience which when you dont have so much money. I payd in summer 1600 from Frankfurt to Tokyo. Yeah okey I have in the middle in the Night a Stopover but with the lounge it was okey

[@katemacdonald9602]

You pretty much lost me on the dirty seats. Really? And I just flew Air NZ, economy, with free WiFi.

[@alphonselee3564]

I would love to China airline as well!

[@XStarfallen-01]

Where have you gone ?. .

[@Inkubaszi]

I’m assuming that this “sky metro” was for free? U know in UK in Luton - one of the crapiest airports I even travel, and it have shuttle of that type called “Dart” that is not free! It was build via taxpayers money, and it’s more expensive that standard bus!

[@halitosis75]

Hello 👋 rory thanks for mentioning load factors .Im first ❤

[@surfleetsurfer6370]

Overtly critical. The job of an airline is to get you and your luggage from A to B, at the same time, in the class you have paid for. When you start comparing food offerings, this and that, you have completely lost the plot. You, truly have.

Too much beef Rory. You're not environmentally friendly. Cows fart alot and eating beef for starter and main is boring
