Review: Etihad Airways First Class Apartment A380 Abu Dhabi To London

I don't think words can do justice to how excited I was when I boarded the Etihad A380. As soon as my boarding pass was scanned I jogged down the jet bridge to the door of the plane. That's how excited I was.

At the door I was greeted by the cabin manager and one of the first class crew, who directed me left towards the First Class Apartment cabin.

Holy $hit. I try not to cuss too much in public, but that's what I said. Actually, that phrase is about all that came out of my mouth for the first 10 minutes in the cabin.

Words can't do justice to how beautiful the cabin is. There's only a single aisle, which makes Etihad the first airline to use a single-aisle configuration on the A380.
