Etihad Business Class: Luxury… or Just a Beautiful Memory? | B777 Abu Dhabi–Manila

Some airlines chase luxury. Some airlines chase profit. Etihad tried to do both - and paid the price. Once the most ambitious airline in the world, famous for flying apartments and bold global investments, Etihad today is a very different company: smaller, more cautious, and focused on survival rather than spectacle. So the real question is: Does Etihad still know how to deliver a premium experience? Or is it now just a memory of past glory? On this flight from Abu Dhabi to Manila, I review their classic Boeing 777 business class - a product that once set industry standards, but today clearly shows its age. And just like the airline itself, the experience turns out to be a roller coaster: • a fantastic lounge • elegant Armani bedding • solid dining concept … mixed with outdated hardware, inconsistent details, and moments that feel surprisingly un-premium. In other words: A fallen angel — still flying, but still searching for its cruising altitude. 00:00 Second Chances?
