As promised at the start of the year, SimpliFlying will be bringing you a new section with video trip reports – mostly shot at 35,000 feet. Because the best assessment of an airline brand can only be done during the Brand eXecution! Here’s the first of such reports.

In this 3 min video trip report, I share my experience on-board one of Etihad Airways‘ brand new Airbus A320 planes. This was a flight from Athens, Greece to New Delhi, India, via Abu Dhabi. Three things stood out about Etihad:

1) They greet you by name and talk to you personally
2) The planes smell of the desert!
3) Their transit lounge for Business Class in Abu Dhabi offers free spa treatments!

My rating for the flight is 4.5 out of 5. njoy the 3 min video trip report (Click here if you can’t watch the video)

If you haven’t flown Etihad Airways before, I’d encourage you to give it a shot – they’re one of the finest. If you’ve flown them before, then I’d love to hear how your experience was, in the comments or on Twitter (@simpliflying). Oh, and pls share how I can improve these reports further and what you’d like to see.

Special thanks to Michael Tan from Etihad Airways Singapore office and the Athens ground staff who made my trip such a memorable one.
