Etihad First Class Lounge Review is part of the Quest Around the Globe Trip Report.
I have been to many airport lounges (see Lounge Reviews). I can confidently declare that Etihad’s First Class Lounge is the best. It is better than Air New Zealand, Cathay, Emirates, Eva, Lufthansa, Singapore, Turkish, and Virgin’s. Though other lounges have unique offerings (see Champagne, Cigars, Caviar? The Most Clever Lounge Perk), Etihad is the only one that has a cigar room. Before I get to that, let me dispense with the basic amenities that are far from basic.
Private Rooms
Subject to availability, there are massive private rooms to relax, unwind, or shoot a music video.
My Sleeping Room
I chose this one:
Dining Areas
Looking to be social? There are plenty of places to sit and eat.
Seating Areas
Looking to be antisocial? There are plenty of places to sit, especially when arriving at night.
Bar
Looking to drink? This is the bar for you. Not only is there a wide selection but also there is a bartender who likes to offer shots and mixed cocktails, no matter the time.
Snacks
There is plenty of self-service finger food before fine dining.
Dining
I was there so long I had multiple dinners.
Spa
The first shave I had at an airport was at an Etihad Lounge (see Etihad Arrivals Lounge: Time for a Proper Shave). The tradition continued here.
There are other services available but paying is losing.
The Cigar Lounge
Now for the main event, the cigar lounge. This is by far the coolest perk I’ve seen in an airport. The lounge features fine cigars, excellent cognac, and exclusivity.
The lounge underscores that this is The Points Of Life. Take a good look.
Overall
This is the lounge for living.
LH first class terminal has a cigar lounge.
Not even a, “Nice post! Did you know that LH…” Thanks for the info and buzzkill
Nice post but you look and act like a douche bag and btw LH has a cigar bar and is a better lounge
There you go. Now you’re getting somewhere.
Stop buying your clothes from Ross and posting your douchey face
Keep reading my blog. How many years of anger has it been from you? Also, keep emailing from your work email, that’ll get you that raise you want! #eurosuperleague
Keep TPOLing on. Some of your readers are just angry trolls.
great post but I do agree you probably didn’t need that many cigar pics
Why not? Is there a quota on posting enjoyment?
Good review. I like the pictures. Was this their lounge in AUH?
Yes, way back in 2016 but have to finish these stupid trip reports.
