holy crap , i have been waiting for this :D Awesome Video David! :)

[@SkyHighGuys]

Finally having some awesome David footage :D I mean Felix is awesome for all the flying, but it’s nice seeing a David cameo every now and then

[@Yeahyeah2675]

David is back 😀😀😀thanks for the great tripreport, i love it

[@InflightAviation]

Awesome report once again! And I totally agree I think the Etihad livery fits “perfectly” on the 787! Great video;)

[@5mohamadalsabagh568]

اي الحمدلله

[@SoyTravels]

787 is absolutely my favorite aircraft. I had flew with British airways and Air France. Good thing I had a trip report about it

[@MsKestrela]

Very classy livery and cabin. They certainly set the standard for the industry. Nice report, David!

[@ahs7869]

Thank you so much for your video I just flew this plane from IAD-AUH on economy soo good!!!!

[@crambomambo9596]

I love your trip reports. I'm flying on Etihad 787 between BNE-AUH next year so also a helpful trip report.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

Love B-787. One of the best aircrafts.

[@NearTheHere]

Love how that Eurowings A320 is perfectly synchronised with the wing at 3:35

I took this exact flight in 2019 on the exact same plane lol

[@SoyTravels]

I was living in UAE for 6 years and sadly didn’t had the chance to fly with Etihad.

[@RashadKhanAviation2023]

Nice!

[@LoganAL]

Wow Etihad even have their name engraved into their cutlery! Didnt think I'd see that in economy

[@badrudinlazim1400]

Yeah right. On most airlines in economy, you'll have to make do with cheap plastics cutlery. Etihad really know how to show respect to their passengers flying economy. Anyway, the economy class is THE biggest revenue earner for any airline.

[@brownbear1657]

actually it's not the biggest revenue is buisness class (on most airlines)

[@diamondfailer11]

Flugzeug Dokus TK gives you a puny sandwich on short haul flights. Don’t know about all the other types of flights.

Welcome back, David. It's nice to see your review after a long time. And btw, I always love your review ❤️

[@max-_-6352]

9:43 they show other cities as a reference, such as when I flew on a 787 it pointed to Melbourne and Darwin so I knew where abouts we were

[@scotishtaffy]

Great report, hadn't seen that one. Great coverage, and great catering, better than I expected. Well done.

[@luca7069]

That Etihad livery... Flew the 787 Abu Dhabi to Perth, it's an amazing airplane+airline combination

[@markusschult6513]

WOOW!!! THUMBS UP!!! Allready very often I saw this most beautiful Dreamliner aircraft at my home airport Düsseldorf. For me your trip-report DUS - AUH was a very special and adventuresome one. CONGRATULATIONS!!! Hopefully you have had a very enjoyable stay on board. Often in the evening at 09:05 p.m. EY will operate out of DUS to AUH with an older Airbus A330-200. We have a twice-daily EY-service to AUH. But the Dreamliner is my own favourite plane.

[@thatindividualwhoiknowvery1131]

Wow! Nice! I love the new livery!

[@chrisvoka538]

Awesome video once again keep up the great work!!

[@aponkye1001]

My wife flew in business class last week 7th of March 2018 and will be coming back also in etihad business class 😃. She enjoyed the trip to Abu Dhabi.

[@obtucewillie]

when the water vapor flows over the wing you can see the physics of an airfoil and why it works - pretty cool.

[@JackJackProductions]

Well done on 78k subs David and Felix

[@SamiGamer_XD]

That was a long trip I enjoyed thank you :)

[@PilotsEye]

Hi David, wurdest du auf das Anbringen der Kamera von der Crew angesprochen ? Würden gerne wissen, ob Etihad das locker nimmt oder nicht. Beste Grüße KM @Pilotseye

[@simply_aviation]

Hi, nein ich wurde nicht darauf angesprochen. Die Flugbegleiterin, welche gegenüber von mir gesessen ist, war sehr freundlich und wir befinden uns über Instagram immer noch im loosen Kontakt. Wir haben uns unter anderem über den Grund meiner Filmerei unterhalten und das hat sie zu 100% unterstützt. Also bisher hatte ich bei Etihad gar keine Probleme. :) Liebe Grüße, David

Qantas also have those headrests on their 717s and 737s (they could be on other planes to!!) and they definitely make the flight more enjoyable! Great video, I hope I can fly Etihad one day!
