IF YOU FLY FIRST CLASS BETWEEN any major Indian city and London, or for that matter any other long-haul route, on an international airline, luxury has a new name. Take Etihad Airways, for example. It ensures that a guest’s experience begins “well before departure” and lasts “well beyond arrival”. We have revolutionised the First Class experience with our First Apartments and First Suites, equipped with the latest entertainment systems, internationally trained in-flight chefs and the plush surroundings of Etihad

Airways’ interior to ensure a comfortable journey for our guests,” says Neerja Bhatia, Vice President, Indian Subcontinent, Etihad Airways. Same goes for Emirates, British Airways, Lufthansa, Swiss Air, Qatar Airways and several others.
