Join me on a journey with Etihad Business Class from Amsterdam to Manila via Abu Dhabi in April 2026, during a period of significant airspace disruptions and heightened tensions across parts of the Middle East.
With multiple flight rebookings, changing schedules and unusual routing requirements this trip offered a unique opportunity to see how Etihad handled a challenging operational environment while still delivering its premium Business Class experience.
From Schiphol Airport and the Aspire Lounge to Etihad´s flagship lounge in Abu Dhabi and two Boeing 787 Dreamliner flights, I´ll show you every step of the journey.
What´s in this video:
Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and plane spotting terrace

Aspire Lounge and Etihad Premium Lounge area

Why this trip is special:
This journey took place during a period of exceptional disruption in Middle Eastern airspace, with many airlines adjusting schedules, rerouting flights and rebooking passengers. My itinerary changed four times before departure making this an interesting test of Etihad´s flexibility and customer service.
This trip also provided a rare look at how a major Gulf carrier operated during a challenging period while maintaining its premium onboard product and connecting passengers through Abu Dhabi. If you´re considering flying Etihad Business Class or transiting through Abu Dhabi this video will give you a detailed first-hand look at what to expect.
