TRIP REPORT | The Etihad B777 Excellence! | Abu Dhabi to Rome | ETIHAD Boeing 777

Etihad Trip Report flying from Abu Dhabi to Rome onboard one of Etihad's Boeing 777-300ER 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 2am-3am 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 Rome-Fiumicino. 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 well-elaborated 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!

[GenkisTravels]

[hectorcruz]

Another impressive video thank you for sharing. Hiw many of you guys in your team doing the videos keep up the good job.

[glauberliberato]

Lucas thank you for the report! I 've loved the nights views of Amman and Tel Aviv.The service was good but the cabin does hot match the beautiful and morden livery, we always expect more from the Gulf area airlines, and the airport was too crowded and small

[EricHelminiak-qzkh]

I see what you mean about the windows, but wow, yeah that food looked yum!

[SalsamaliTravelReports]

Truly awesome! I feel Etihad has really started to up their service.

BOEING 777 IS A EXCELLENT AEOPLANE I TRAVELLED EMIATES AND QATAR ON THIS PLANE

I've flown on 777-200's but not the 300ER which I'd love to. I've never been to the Middle East but I would like to fly Etihad and Emirates in my lifetime. Have I been to Rome? Yes, over twenty trips to Italy and I always include Rome, my favorite city. I reside on the East Coast of the USA so flights are generally between 7.5 to 8.5hrs to Italy. Over the years I've flown to Europe on the A330, B757, B767, B777, and B787-800. I really love your channel. Great job☆☆☆☆

[jamesfriersonofficial]

Well, thank you again for all of your work! I just found the answer to my question in the very complete video description. Bummer about the windows but still worked out to be a great video due to your editing!

[paulinejackson]

So look forward to Saturday for your videos 👏

[obafealabi]

[EricHelminiak-qzkh]

Yeah a pretty awesome flight to be sure! Love to travel on the 777 someday 👍
