    I've done that route twice in business. I didn't get a decent look at first, but the business class was very comfortable with decent food. I got plenty of sleep whenever I wanted as well.

    If you're flying on your own, try and get a window seat in business. You're tucked away from the aisle but you still have direct aisle access.

    No window seats left in business will try and see if one frees up got a great seat out in first 4K which with 4A is one of the better apartments so really looking forward to that. Will prob just sleep on first leg and enjoy the A380.

    Business class is better with Etihad than Emirates.
    Very nice reclining seat/bed. great wine and ok food.
    The TV etc. is much more watchable when bigger so overall a great experience.

    I think you will love it as Etihad seem to have the best Business class.

    Ooooooh and a bigger toilet where you can actually turn around. lol
    ENJOY

    Well back from what was an amazing flight the Business class flight really good got window seat both ways and very private. The first class apartment was seriously amazing so much room it really is like bring on your own private plane, food and service amazing and some of the best food I ever had any where the chef in both directions really good. The shower room not as good as Emirates but still great to have shower after 12 hours in the Air.

    Nice.... I wish that my employer would upgrade our First Class cabins to that standard, but there again, if they did, they probably would ban staff from using them :)

    Well Etihad to best of my knowledge only putting 5 A380's in the air so only 45 of these seats in the Air unless some other airline matches or exceeds the Etihad experience. I had a look at the residence while amazing not worth in my opinion the bump in price a multiple of 10 from my calculations.

    Sigh......I would love to experience a proper first class top airline experience someday with the likes of Ethiad.
    I'll just have to make do with Ryanair and Aer Lingus:(
