I flew Business Class on APD on October 15 from London to Abu Dhabi. The interior is stylish and modern, but I found the seats a bit too short and so less comfy. An Indian co-passenger complained his big feet didn't fit the foot rest bunk! The forward/backward seating looks nice, but allows for less privacy compared to Emirates. It's the same on BA, I think. The Lobby was unused in the first hours of flight, later on a few pax were sitting there. Without windows it's a bit dark in there. I wasn't allowed to photograph First and The Residence, which was unused on my flight EY20. Special permission is needed for this from Abu Dhabi. I was told I could make some pics of the Apartment after landing, but permission was denied as they were cleaning up already and didn't want 'messy' pics to be published. The cockpit was off limits too. In all a pleasant experience on one of the newest aircraft I have ever been on, in service only for two months and two days.

Thanks a380fanclub! Are you booked for the return, AUH-LHR with EY too? Yes, on the 30th. A detour for me, but I wanted to see for myself how the Etihad compares to the Emirates A380. The jury is still out.

APD popped up on FR24 at AUH today (don't have screenshot, too lazy to do so), so it has never flown to RKT
