7 Hours in Etihad’s First Class Suite

Let me just say right off the bat, it's not long enough.

And also, by no mean this is a review — because honestly, this flight is spectacular and I’m really not gonna get into the nitty-gritty, technical stuff (you can totally google that at your leisure).

After a whirlwind of a 10-hour, martini-filled, water-deprived stopover in London (more on that later), it’s finally time to hop into the flight that I’ve been watching over-and-over-and-over again on YouTube: the Etihad first class suite, with service to Abu Dhabi, on a Boeing 787-9.

I knew this flight was gonna be great. It’s so great it totally ruins flying (any other way) for me. 

The second I stepped on the plane and the flight attendant got a glance of my seat number, *ahem* 1A, you could see almost a mini panic as she was trying to find the first class FA to take me to my personal suite. Yes, not a pod, not a seat — a suite. Bed, dining table for two and closet space included. 

Trying not to lose my mind next to the couple who’s clearly done this before, I calmly sat down to make sure everything was okay (as if anything would go wrong). Noise cancelling earphones, check. Entertainment centre. check. Mini bar, stocked. Acqua di Parma amenity kit and faux fur throw, check, check, check. I took a decent amount of content yet I forgot to take a photo of the actual suite without me in it — amateur. I guess I’ll have to remind myself, for next time.

"This smells, tastes, and feels rich" I said to myself as I sipped the 2006 Charles Heidsieck Brut (bless pre-departure champagne) that's served alongside Arabic coffee, dates, and cold towel. I was fully living the Sex and The City 2 Movie fantasy, with less marital issues and no sheikh paying for the trip. As they're boarding the rest of the plebs plane, my assigned flight attendant went through a laundry list of preferences for the rest of the flight: dinner service, wine pairing, water (still or sparkling), level of privacy, and more importantly what champagne would I like for right after take-off — The answer, was rosé, by the way. 

She then dropped off a bag of loungewear for me to change to if I prefer, which, I absolutely needed to, since I was wearing a very London-specific Thom Browne tartan suit to dress the part with not enough room to handle every menu items we're about to devour. 

I was utterly torn, between drinking as much 2002 vintage champagne until I’m unconscious in this suite or catching up on sleep as we had a 17 hour layover in Abu Dhabi awaited us. 

As I continued to ponder, the plane took off. Never in my life I witnessed a  take off this smooth, this quite— it’s almost like the engines just whisper “let’s go girls” oh so subtly. And not three minutes after, a glistening, freshly popped, frosty bottle of Champagne Duval-Leroy Rosé Prestige showed up at my door. And this, marked the beginning of the most incredible three-hour dining experience in the sky.

A change of clothes, fresh towel, and a switch to Duval-Leroy Femme de Champagne 2002 later, the caviar service begins — A proper caviar service. With blinis en accompagnement, and of course, the mother of pearl spoon that I almost smuggled into my amenity kit. 

“Would you like some more champagne”, she asked, fully knowing we finished half a bottle within the first 15 mins of dinner. I mean, what kind of monster would say no? By the time the lobster course arrived, we’re one bottle in, and flying has never felt better. We managed to go through most to the wine list (pictured below) and honestly, this list slaps. Hard. Hard enough to piss off some somm friends. 

The Jacques Prieur was stunning, oh-so-fragrant and crisp, with balanced salinity to finish. The Pascal Jolivet was delightfully expressive with lovely, lingering mouthfeel. By the time we wanted to taste the riesling, the palate cleanser arrived, followed by the main course shortly. Yes, there’s a palate cleanser course.

Cooking tenderloin to a perfect medium rare is as hard as it is for some restaurants with fully equipped kitchen. Somehow, Etihad nails it, 30,000ft in the air — now that’s impressive. Whatever magic compartment they have in their galley, it works. For the wine, I managed to tasted all the reds and well, big surprise (not really), the Cabernet plays so elegantly with this perfectly cooked piece of meat. 

The stretchy pyjama pants were barely holding it anymore but I still had to save some room for dessert — creme brûlée with a side of Haagen Dasz ice cream, which I washed down with another glass of the ’02 Femme de Champagne. 

*Knock knock* “Would you like me to make the bed for you?” - a sentence I don’t hear enough on the ground, let alone in the sky. Honestly, It’s even more special when it’s asked on an Acqua di Parma-scented cabin. As she’s getting my bed ready, we took a little stroll around the plane to see where the rest of the people lived, and you know, stretched… I returned to a fully made bed with a side of crippling anxiety, knowing that for the rest of our journey, there’s no first class cabin on the planes — scary, I know (Kidding, Etihad’s business cabins aren’t so bad). Nothing another glass of champagne couldn’t fix at this point. So I ordered bed-side champagne to calm me down. *closed doors*

I went to bed, half-drunk, fully stuffed and extremely exhausted. The 3-hr nap I had was clearly not enough to prepare me for what’s waiting for us on the other side. But frankly, that was a very comfortable nap. The flight attendant gently nudge me to notify that it’s time for breakfast. I woke up still drunk, still full, with 90-something minute left on this flight. I couldn’t possibly eat another bite. What was supposed to be an omelette and caviar breakfast, turned into a coffee and champagne kind.

Never thought hearing “thirty minutes to landing” could make someone feel so sad, but there I was, back in my suit, sipping the last of the ’02 Femme de Champagne, not ready to leave the flight.

Thank you Etihad for the most incredible 7 hours in the sky, Michelin-star-worthy (I said what I said) dinner experience, and if you’re reading this, I’m ready for another trip on the first class suite, and hopefully on the A380 next time. 

See you in Abu Dhabi!

The coolest commercial jet in the world??!!

INTRODUCTION

The days of the a380 and the humped 747 are gone and the 787 dreamliner is at the forefront of this revolution making it my favourite commercial airliner.

MATERIAL

About 50 percent of it is made of carbon fiber composite making it the first commercial jet in the world to be made up primarily of this material.

Composites are composed of 2 or more materials. Carbon reinforced plastics are composed of extremely strong carbon fibres bound together by plastic.

Carbon fibre is very strong and very light. It is 5 times stronger than steel and twice as stiff. Since they are very thin strands, thy can’t create solid structures, therefore, are bounded together by the plastic resin otherwise they would just form a strong but flexible fabric. Which is useful as it can be made into any shape required thus helping in forming the smooth curves of a jet.

Fun Fact- Boeing had to make customised ovens for the resin to heat in after it had been laid on the mould.

The 787 can also accommodate large windows on its fuselage as it is made up of composites. A hole this large on an aluminium jet would result in build up of stress around the window boundaries due to deviation of stress contours around the holes. Over a period of time, this would lead to damage on the body of the jet which will shorten the lifespan of the jet by a lot.

Aluminium based jets also pose another problem that has been solved by the use of carbon fibre composite. Use of joints and fasteners to rivet the pieces of aluminium together created small bumps and imperfections on the surface of the jet that created a lot of drag. Since the fuselage is now essentially a monolithic structure made of carbon composite, this drag is eliminated.

WINGS Wing Spar is the main structural component of a wing and its main job is to resist the upward bending force. In the 787 dreamliner, it is made up of carbon fibre composites and are structured by aluminium plates. This structure is hollow and acts as a space to store fuel in the jet. Carbon fibre composites have another quality that make them better for making wings. Carbon fibre composites can deform about 1.9% before entering the plastic region whereas aluminium can deform less than 1%.

(stress-strain graph depicting elastic and plastic regions. Source- https://www.smlease.com/entries/mechanical-design-basics/stress-strain-curve-diagram/)

Therefore, the wings can be super flexible. During the flight, the wingtips of a 787 dreamliner can move upward by about 3m.

The wings of a 787 are not the same as that of other aluminium jets. Due to its high flexibility, engineers designed the wings with a high aspect ratio. Aspect ratio is the ratio of the wing span to the mean chord of the wing. Gliders have high aspect ratio and the delta wings of a fighter jet have low aspect ratio. The 777 had an aspect ratio of 9 but the 787 has the aspect ratio of 11!

Thus even though composites are stiffer than aluminium, the wings of 787 bend more due to higher aspect ratio.

Higher aspect ratio means a larger wingspan as the vortex drags at the tip of wing, by spreading the area of wing over a longer wing, we minimize the pressure that drives vortices thus, the energy loss due to vortex drag is reduced. Another difference wings of the 787 dreamliner is the airfoil itself. The 787 uses a supercritical airfoil.

Tested in the early 1970s by NASA at the Dryden Flight Research Centre is now universally recognized by the aviation industry as a wing design that increases flying efficiency and helps lower fuel costs. Conventional wings are rounded on top and flat on the bottom. The SCW is flatter on the top, rounded on the bottom, and the upper trailing edge is accented with a downward curve to restore lift lost by flattening the upper surface.

 THE PROBLEM WITH COMPOSITES

One of the things that stands out the most in the material composition of the 787 is the extensive use of titanium over aluminium since titanium is an expensive metal.

Aluminium on its own doesn’t corrode but when kept near carbon fibre, it oxidises rapidly. This is due to a phenomenon known as galvanic corrosion. When 2 materials with dissimilar electric potentials are kept in contact with each other with an electrolyte such as salt water, exchange of ions takes place.  

Fun Fact- To reduce the cost of manufacturing Titanium, Boeing partnered with Norsk Titanium which 3-D print titanium parts thus eliminating the wastage of metal.

There is another issue with composites, even though carbon fibre is a good conductor of electricity, the plastic resin is an insulator and thus doesn’t allow electricity to conduct through it in case of lightning strikes. Thus, Boeing had to add strips of copper all around the fuselage to help it conduct lightning.

Here I leave a quick traditional doodle of a Boeing 787 dreamliner aircraft, I drew this while doing homework last october but I couldn't uploaid this until now.

Yeah, I'm kinda into airplanes and I know many things about them, 787 is my favorite.

I hope you like this.

JA865J, one of Japan Airlines' 22 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, gets ready to turn into its gate at DFW's Terminal D. JAL also has 24 of the 787-8 variant as well. ⁣ ⁣ The GEnx (General Electric NeXt generation) engine first ran on a ground bench test in March 2006 and had its first flight on GE’s 747-100 testbed in February 2007. The GEnx engine is the replacement in the GE turbofan portfolio for the CF6-80C2, the ultimate evolution of the CF6 engine that debuted on the DC-10 in 1971. The GEnx is an advanced evolution of the GE90 turbofan used on the Boeing 777. It uses a high pressure compressor (the core) based on the smaller core of the GE90-94B variant used on the 777-200ER.⁣ ⁣ The GEnx is used on both the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the 747-8F and 747-8 Intercontinental⁣, but the 747-8 variants use a slightly smaller fan than the fan used on the 787.⁣ ⁣ With significant aerodynamic and materials improvements, the GEnx engine has a 15-20% better fuel burn than the CF6-80C2. Since its production launch, the GEnx engine has become the fastest selling engine in General Electric’s history. Much of the advanced technology and materials science that went into the development of the GEnx engine is also used on the CFM LEAP-1A engine of the Airbus A320neo family and the LEAP-1B engine of the 737MAX family. Much of the GEnx technology also crossed over back into the GE90 program in the development of the GE9X engine used on the Boeing 777-9.⁣ ⁣ If there's one area in aviation that is on the cutting edge these days, it's aircraft engines. ⁣ ⁣ #avgeek #aviation #aircraft #planeporn #DFW #DallasFortWorth #Texas #airport #planespotting #instaplane ⁣ #Boeing #787 #Dreamliner #JapanAirlines #JA865J⁣ #instagramaviation #splendid_transport #instaaviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #flight ⁣ ⁣ #AvGeeksAero #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge #AvGeekNation (at DFW Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cehx5OvMvUC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
