Thank you from Alexander, Jason and team Etihad in Ireland

#Traveltradetogether

Valued trade partners and industry colleagues, we wanted to say a BIG thank you for your support in nominating Etihad Airways for three awards at the ITIA Awards including:

  • Best Airline (Long Haul)
  • Best Business Class
  • Best Travel Team (from an airline)

While we may not have won, we are grateful for the support you have given us. Regardless of the awards, we will always strive to provide the best service on the ground and in the air.

After a three-year absence, it was fantastic to see vast turnout of 30,000 people at the Holiday World Show located in the RDS Simmonscourt.

Together with our friends from Miral Destinations and the Abu Dhabi Department for Culture and Tourism, we showcased the importance of Abu Dhabi as a must see destination in 2023. Here’s to many more events like this throughout the year and a sign that travel is truly back.

DONT FORGET!!!!!

It’s official, the A350-1000XWB is coming to Dublin!!!!

Starting from 26th March 2023, the Etihad A350 will be available on select flights from Dublin to Abu Dhabi. Our newest aircraft, the Airbus A350 is not only one of the most innovative and sustainable planes in the world but features our latest on-board cabin experience.

Our business cabin features forward facing suites with privacy door and 79” fully flat bed with plenty of storage space. Guests can enjoy an elevated experience with 18.5” screens at every seat, Bluetooth headset pairing, wireless charging and our signature dining service.

Meanwhile in Economy, we’ve crafted a cleverly designed seat with extra comfort and innovative recline. The 13” screens include a world of entertainment through E-BOX and the ability to swiftly connect to Bluetooth headsets.

To discover more about our new A350 experience, head to our 3D tour here. For more information on which services are operating the A350, check in your GDS.

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit us at Holiday World and stay tuned to Travelbiz for lots of exciting updates over the coming weeks.
