Etihad Trip Report flying from Abu Dhabi to Rome onboard one of Etihad's Boeing 777300ER on a perfect summer night and morning.

It was probably the flight that I liked and hated the most at the same time. It was a magnificent onboard service, one of the most amazing crews I've seen, and a really beautiful B777! But the windows were in the worst condition I've seen in many years. They were just terrible: scratched, dirty and, at some points, like melted. I tried my best during recording and editing and I think I've created something watchable. :)

Most European flights of Etihad depart from Abu Dhabi around 2am3am local time. This one was no exception. The airport was crowded at that moment. It's not that I love to use airports so crowded but from time to time I remember the pandemic times and I like the current status again.

After a very long taxi in Abu Dhabi airport, we took off southbound and quickly made a 180° turn to start our flight to RomeFiumicino. We overflew the Abu Dhabi outskirts just before entering the Persian Gulf. We flew northbound towards Bahrein and entered Saudi Arabia, flying in direct course to Amman (Jordan). From there to Tel Aviv, from where we got some amazing views. We then entered the Mediterranean and flew over the Greek Islands. Athens and Corfu were the next 2 main places, just before setting direct course to Naples and, finally, Rome, where we landed on time.

Maybe the best part of this flight was the amazing catering service. On this 5h30min flight, there were 2 services: 1 just after departure and the 2nd one (main; breakfast) 2h before landing. The first one even had a very wellelaborated dessert! The main one was one of the best breakfasts I've ever had on a plane. Super tasty and very well presented. 10 out of 10, in my opinion. Far behind is already the "reduced Covid onboard service". On this flight, it was just amazing.

Now it's your turn!
Have you ever flown with Etihad? Which route? How was the experience? What do you think about the Etihad service? Have you ever been in Abu Dhabi? Maybe in Rome? Have you ever flown on the Boeing 777? What do you think about those windows?
Lots of things to talk about! See you in the comments!
