First Class Apartment: The seats don't recline as far as they should for first class (without becoming a bed). Service is impeccable. Amazing that you can have your eggs cooked any way you'd like (including fried). Worth it for a long-haul flight.
Service was particularly poor for a business traveller. The seats were also small (and I'm only 5'2!). If Etihad wants to consolidate itself as a strong middle eastern carrier it needs to improve significantly on the service they're offering.
Very comfortable seats
Lounge at Manchester airport is not as good as its rival UAE airline by a long shot. Food onboard leaves room for improvement.
Biggest let down was the food.
I was sitting in seat 69D which was amazing! There is no seat in front, so you get the legroom of an exit aisle without having people milling around you waiting for the toilet. Seat slightly smaller because the TV is in the arm rest.
Seat was small. I'm 6'2" and my legs were jammed up in the seat in front. Poor entertainment choice (the space on the system was filled up by foreign content). Ticket was very expensive
