The Future of Etihad - A350-1000 Inaugural Flight

[@noemitakzentueberme]

This plane is really a beauty. My mom actually sells the A350’s Nose Landing Gear (NLG). She works for a company called Liebherr!

The Airbus A350 is such an amazing aircraft. Great video as always. Keep it up.

[@TheAntyshow]

Beautiful video, I met one of Etihad’s fight attendants in Thailand as she was on her layover and we were speaking about Sam because I follow this page and watch all sams videos, unfortunately she’s told me that Sam can be rude to the flight attendants and they get really uncomfortable with that. Sam I love your videos my friend but please keep the respect levels to all flight attendants equally, other than that keep doing you, very proud. Love from Sydney Australia

I love the a350 because of its design it's black mask and it's engines. Truly loved it!! My favorite is a350-1000 and the Boeing 777-300ER. Loved them both

[@rahilahmed8600]

I flew on the Etihad a350 on the 6th morning coming back from Mumbai to Abu Dhabi after a wonderful vacation what a beautiful aircraft it was

[@OtakuAviators]

The A350 has become one of my favorite aircraft over the last couple of years and I’m very happy to see that Etihad has also added this beauty to its fleet. Pity they don’t intend to fly it to Europe, but understandable. 36.000ft cruising altitude seems rather low for the A350 by the way, often see them at or above 40.000ft. Anyway, thanks for another great trip report Sam!👍🏻

I’m heading to Dublin soon, If I’m flying Etihad, this will be my plane!

[@martymcfly256]

The Super Diamond seats are, in my opinion, the most practical and comfortable business class seats. I'm happy to see Etihad got rid of the business class seats they had. I only flew one flight with Etihad (Abu Dahabi to Zurich) on a 787 and HATED the seat so much that I've never booked a flight with Etihad since.

[@franklinloo2160]

The present one not good?

[@martymcfly256]

@@franklinloo2160 The Super Diamond seat Etihad is switching to now, is very good. It can be found on many other airlines. The former seat looked pretty, but was very impractical and uncomfortable. I flew on an Etihad 787-9 from Abu Dhabi to Zurich in 2019 on an overnight flight. The seat had no leg rest, only a recline feature. So, the only two options were to either be fully flat (for which the seat was very narrow in the foot well) or to sit upright. It was the worst "sleep" I have ever gotten on a plane. I like to have my feet up a bit and be slightly reclined while watching TV, and I like to sleep on aircraft in a zero G position. The best sleep I ever got on a plane was in an Air Canada Super Diamond seat, also on a 787-9, from Toronto to Dubai. I slept all the way from Newfoundland to Bulgaria.

[@fozzbozz3285]

can't wait to fly this later this year!!

[@malcolm20091000]

Sam, I know you wanted that galley to be smaller than the 787. I did too. lol. But, unfortunately, there is little good news for Boing in this video. The A350-1000 holds 372 people at 9 across in economy, and from the video, even those seats look really comfortable. Boing 777x will hold more, but at 10 across, so it seems. Will not be fun. Of course, between now and the time Boing 777x gets flying commercial, if ever, things will change. What hasn't changed is that airlines are buying more A350s than 777x. Great video, again. Thanks!

[@jemand8462]

[@grahamo22]

Erm No, they have the A350 as they troed to CANCEL their entire order a few years ago and were stuck with five A350's. They didnt 'choose them' as such, but were stuck with them as they really wanted just 787's

[@maloxd8948]

I really enjoyed this video. As an A350 lover, the A350-1000 *(aka A35K)* is my favorite A350 model, it has almost the same length as the 777-300ER (B77W/B773), and it is also fuel-efficient like the Triple 7 too!! 😇

[@Gee478]

I’m also an A350 lover! What a magnificent beast it is

[@aviationtrips]

The A350-1000 Is just as long as the B777-300ER ( both are 74m long ) And it Is far more efficient.

[@thomasbeaman9337]

I used to fly with Etihad for about 6/7 years. Can not fault anything about them. Then all of a sudden they stopped taking inter net bookings on their web site. You had to book via telephone to one of their agents who added on £150 to the price advertised on the Etihad web site. So I had to start to use another airline. Pity though, I liked Etihad a lot.

[@r.l.3574]

It should work online 🤔 It does work for me.

[@thomasbeaman9337]
