Review: Etihad Airways Business Class Lounge Abu Dhabi Airport AUH

Even though I've transited Abu Dhabi Airport a handful of times, I've always flown out of Terminal 3. While it's not quite as blingy as some other terminals in the Middle East, it is a solid terminal... well, except for the US pre-clearance facility.

My flight to Cairo, however, was departing out of Terminal 1. That was a new experience for me. I followed the signage towards Terminal 1, which led me down to a seemingly never-ending series of corridors.

After about 15 minutes of walking I found myself in Terminal 1, which felt much older than Terminal 3.

I followed the signage towards the Etihad Lounge, which was located one level up from the concourse.
