Скачать или смотреть Etihad Business Class: Luxury… or Just a Beautiful Memory? | B777 Abu Dhabi–Manila

Some airlines chase luxury.
Some airlines chase profit.

Etihad tried to do both - and paid the price.

Once the most ambitious airline in the world, famous for flying apartments and bold global investments, Etihad today is a very different company: smaller, more cautious, and focused on survival rather than spectacle.

So the real question is:
Does Etihad still know how to deliver a premium experience?
Or is it now just a memory of past glory?
On this flight from Abu Dhabi to Manila, I review their classic Boeing 777 business class - a product that once set industry standards, but today clearly shows its age.

And just like the airline itself, the experience turns out to be a roller coaster:
• a fantastic lounge
• elegant Armani bedding
• solid dining concept

… mixed with outdated hardware, inconsistent details, and moments that feel surprisingly un-premium.

In other words:
A fallen angel — still flying, but still searching for its cruising altitude.
