Etihad Airways Business Class Product

Etihad flies its latest aircraft, the Boeing B787-10, between Abu Dhabi and Shanghai. This aircraft features the latest Business Studio seat (same seat as on the B787 and A380). This type of Business Class seat is in a staggered 1-2-1 configuration, however, half of the seats are facing the rear of the plane.

Flights between Abu Dhabi and Frankfurt are operated by Boeing B787s and they all feature the Business Studio product.

However, flights between Abu Dhabi and Munich are operated by the Boeing B777-300ER. These aircraft also have a staggered Business Class seat in a 1-2-1 configuration, however, they are all front facing. Check Sam’s review below on this seat.

Where to Credit This Etihad Business Class Deal

Etihad Airways currently is not a member of any world alliance, however, they do have partnerships with many airlines including American and ANA.

This deal books into Z fare class for all flights. That would earn you 100% miles when crediting to American Airlines AAdvantage and 115% to the Etihad Guest program. For other airlines, check out the chart below:
