Today (February 18, 2015): Flight Review: Etihad Airways Business Class in Airbus A330\u00a0from Brussels (Belgium) to Male (Maldives) via Abud Dhabi (UAE).\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n

On February\u00a01st\u00a02015,\u00a0I flew Business Class on\u00a0Etihad Airways<\/a>\u00a0from Brussels (Belgium) to Male (Maldives) via a stopover in Etihad’s hub in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates). Both flight legs were operated by an Airbus A330-200. As of today,\u00a0Etihad has 26\u00a0A330-200’s in its fleet, mainly used for medium-range flights to secondary European cities and Asian getaways. Excellent seats (in a staggered layout), a good entertainment\u00a0selection,\u00a0and delicious\u00a0food makes flying Etihad’s A330 Business Class (dubbed ‘Pearl Business’) a comfortable journey. The Business Class product on all of Etihad’s wide-body\u00a0aircraft (Airbus A330, Airbus A340, Boeing 777) is identical to the one described in this trip report, although Etihad’s new planes (Airbus A380 and Dreamliner) are delivered with an\u00a0updated, ultraluxurious Business Class (click here<\/a> to read my trip report onboard an Etihad Airways A380 in First Class from London to Abu Dhabi).<\/p>\n

Etihad Airways features in my top 10 lists of the\u00a0best airlines for longhaul Business Class<\/a>, the\u00a0most luxurious First Class suites in the sky<\/a>,\u00a0the\u00a0world\u2019s best airline lounges<\/a>,\u00a0and the\u00a0most delicious airline food<\/a>.<\/p>\n
