ETIHAD: New premium lounge unveiled

Last week, Etihad Airways officially unveiled its prestigious new premium lounge at Dulles International Airport in Washington. The opening of the facility follows the launch of the airline’s new daily service linking Abu Dhabi and Washington, D.C. on March 31. The new facility is part of an overall total investment of US$50 million over the next 12 months to build further premium lounges at major destinations across Etihad Airways’ fast growing global network. In addition to its signature First and Business Class lounges in Abu Dhabi, the airline has also established premium lounges in Dublin, Frankfurt, London, Manchester and Paris. Additionally, new state-of-the-art luxury lounges are planned for New York, Sydney and Melbourne. The beautifully-appointed split level lounge features a range of exclusive services including soothing relaxation spaces, elegant fine dining areas, state-of-the-art business amenities, luxurious bathrooms with invigorating shower facilities, and family entertainment areas.
