Hello from the UAE, as I just flew Etihad Airways’ fascinating Airbus A321LR first class on the 6hr40min flight from Phnom Penh (KTI) to Abu Dhabi (AUH), as part of my review trip.
While I’m always excited to fly a new product, I was particularly looking forward to this flight, given that the A321LR is Etihad’s newest aircraft, and represents an interesting new chapter for the airline, of operating narrow body planes in long haul markets. The plane has a very unusual first class product, which might seem underwhelming on the surface, but it’s actually pretty awesome.
While I’ll have a full trip report soon, in this post I’d like to share some initial impressions, because this was quite the experience.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
