Starting Dec. 1, guests on the Abu Dhabi (AUH)–Tokyo Narita (NAR) route enjoy service on the airline’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Guests choose from First Suites, business studios and economy seats. An on-board chef, food and beverage manager and flying nanny offer specialized services. The new service replaces the current Airbus A340 service.

“The B787 Dreamliner is an exceptional aircraft from an operational and guest experience perspective. Its unique design and our innovative and stylish cabins offer a guest experience that’s superior in terms of luxury and comfort. These product attributes and the Etihad in-flight service and hospitality — onboard Chefs, Food & Beverage Managers and Flying Nannies — make ours a winning proposition,” said Kevin Knight, chief strategy and planning officer, Etihad Airways.

Travellers can expect eight First Suites, 28 business studios and 199 economy seats. First Suites offer private living spaces, with 6-foot, 8-inch beds, as well as a double bed. Each suite includes a 24-inch LCD entertainment monitor, personal wardrobe and chilled refreshments cabinet. First-class passengers are appointed their own onboard chef to prepare bespoke, made-to-order meals.

In business class, travellers enjoy a dine-on-demand menu, special business-class-only food and beverage manager and loungewear and slippers, as well as a limited-edition Etihad Airways LUXE amenity kit. In addition, a Flying Nanny is on each flight to assist with young children.
