Etihad Airways has unveiled its flagship premium lounges at Abu Dhabi International Airport’s new Terminal A.
The new lounge is revealed as the airline fully transitions to the new terminal — scheduled to take place this week, between 9 and 14 November.
The new lounges span three floors of Terminal A’s north side, located between Piers C and D. Its First and Business lounges feature a range of dining options, relaxation and entertainment spaces — including the Constellation Bar at the enclosed Roof Lounge.
“When designing the Etihad Lounges in our new home, Terminal A, our teams thought through every detail, ensuring an experience that will delight our guests from the moment they step through the door,” said Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer, Etihad.
“The lounge is a hugely important aspect of our guests’ journey and we wanted to curate an impressive experience that will leave them wanting to fly again soon. In true Etihad style, we’ve been innovative with the design and will offer a selection of memorable experiences whether our guests choose to relax, indulge in various dining options, or enjoy a refreshing drink at the signature Constellation Bar,” said Neves.
The Etihad lounges are accessible to guests flying in Etihad’s The Residence, First and Business Class; and Etihad Guest members with eligible tier status. Guests flying in Economy who wish to experience the lounge space can purchase access to Etihad’s Business Lounge (subject to availability).
The Lounge has access to three gates, offering direct-lounge boarding on selected flights, allowing guests in premium cabins to board directly from the Lounge for convenience.
On arrival in Abu Dhabi, premium guests with pre-booked chauffeur services will be invited to visit the Etihad Chauffeur Lounge to shower, refresh or enjoy a light snack or refreshment before meeting their chauffeur.
