I flew on Etihad Airways new A350-1000 inaugural flight from Abu Dhabi to Paris on 31 March 2022. The Etihad A350-1000 has 44 Business Class suites and 327 economy class seats. A total of 5 A350-1000 will be entering service with Etihad this year.
There are the usual celebrations at the gate before takeoff, aviation enthusiasts and media were busy taking photos and videos of the new plane. The pilot gave the flight briefing and showed the latest touch screen technology on the A350-1000 cockpit display. Enjoy the views from the cockpit during takeoff.
After takeoff, I explored the Economy Class cabin. The first 5 rows in Economy have extra space as Economy Space. There are tablet holders and a bluetooth enabled headset connection. I checked out all the seat functions in the new Etihad Business Class suite. It has a sliding door to enhance privacy.
During the flight, I interviewed Etihad Aviation Group CEO Tony Douglas about the A350 operation and the future of the Etihad A380. The new Etihad A350-1000 will be deployed to Mumbai, Delhi, Jeddah, Cairo and Istanbul before entering long haul service to New York and Chicago in July.
I give my verdict and recommendation on the Etihad A350 at the end of the video.

This plane is really a beauty. My mom actually sells the A350’s Nose Landing Gear (NLG). She works for a company called Liebherr!
That's cool 😎
Thanks for sharing! I know Liebherr from many trade shows!
Nice
My refrigerator is a liebherr 😂😂

The current Etihad livery is probably my favorite one it's such a beautiful design very lavish and it suits perfectly with various aircraft designs...
I love ita livery

I agree. It just whispers “luxury” like no other livery in the sky
Count me in.. ❤️👍

@@SamChui Request: Emirates A380 from MCO to DXB, then a 777 to BKK if possible
Another Brilliant video Sam
What a life
You lucky Boy
Have watched you couple yrs now Sam. I must say, your editing and different camera angles and views are spectacular, not to mention your commentary.
You are one of the few Aviation bloggers/ reporter that I respect.
Great video Sam
Love Paris where I grew up
Now cheers from Cambodia
See you next flight
The A350-1000 looks so gorgeous
Sam, thanks for another amazing video. I love flying and think you have the best "job".
Love you video sam as always more to come please
Been waiting for this!
Loved the interview with Tony Douglas! You can really tell he has a heart for aviation too since wants to bring back the a380 whenever there is an opportunity
he is refreshingly honest, no sugar coated business speak
Thanks, appreciate the captions.
Amazing Video Sam!!
Thank you Sam for sharing this video with us.. great indeed..Big fan of yours .. we also do travel virtually with your videos.. Airbus 350-1000 roars
The A350 is such a magnificent airplane! Definitely my favorite 👍🏼👍🏼
So quiet those Airbus.
the best video content from sam chui i think
Being a viewer for 2 years, your video make my day and everyone, keep it up Mr. Sam
Great coverage and filming
Looking beautiful aircraft and Sam excellent show again
I love the a350 because of its design it's black mask and it's engines. Truly loved it!! My favorite is a350-1000 and the Boeing 777-300ER. Loved them both
Watching all your videos over these many years , I only wish I had half the air miles you have to travel First Class .
And to enjoy all your perks
Nice to be you .
Happy trails
good video with lot of information...good work. keep it up.
I flew on the Etihad a350 on the 6th morning coming back from Mumbai to Abu Dhabi after a wonderful vacation what a beautiful aircraft it was
I used etihad many times before the last time I flew with etihad was with their 787-9 from Abu Dhabi to Kuala lumpur amazing flight
Can't wait to fly it in the future
Yeh I’m hopefully going on the same plane in 2 weeks
I will fly with etihad from Frankfurt to Kuala Lumpur, i am Reality excited
I love the colour scheme of Etihad. A350 is beautiful. Love it.👍😊🛫✈️
I am a nervous flyer. I watch all your videos to see how calm you are and how you enjoy the flights. Gives me a lot of courage.
Appreciate the honesty, Sam!
Sam your so much fun to watch!
Thanks for the new, fresh video 🙏🍾🥰
Glad to see the new A350 cockpit screens are not laggy like the earlier versions.
Abu Dhabi has the coolest ATC tower!!! And I anticipate the new terminal will be tops too!
Cheers
Doc
It’s always a happy day when I’m on lunch, and there’s a new Sam chui video to watch! I’ve been a fan for years, absolutely love the videos Sam. I work for one world through American Airlines and I hope one of our partners eventually gets the a350-1000’s. That engine noise was incredible!
can't wait to fly this later this year!!
AMAZING paintings of the news liveries of Etihad -) the best!!! NO doubts
3:36 That “brrrriefing” he said was so clean bro.
sam chui Is such a great motivation for me on my RUclips channel. I am glad I was inspired by this man 🥺❤️
Nicely done Sam
The A350 has become one of my favorite aircraft over the last couple of years and I’m very happy to see that Etihad has also added this beauty to its fleet. Pity they don’t intend to fly it to Europe, but understandable. 36.000ft cruising altitude seems rather low for the A350 by the way, often see them at or above 40.000ft. Anyway, thanks for another great trip report Sam!👍🏻
ruclips.net/video/JUIbKeMEEmY/видео.html
Me too . I also like the A340-600
@@solygeorge1084 Love the A340-600 as well! Have been lucky enough to fly a couple of times with it on Lufthansa.
Woaahh the video is still fresh. Proud to be one of the early people to see it.
Excellent job as usual Sam! So sad to hear about the 380. Beautiful plane, sad ending to the story.
Sam chui... congratulations my dear sir... your videos are super rich and feast to my eyes.
Incredible video Sam
Hi Sam good to see you again 😊👍👍
Thanks for an amazing video@Sam
Absolutely stunning airplane! Hope Etihad keep up the levels of service & luxury illustrated in this video - very difficult to do that when you are operating high density trunk routes - eventually, the novelty wears off and you revert to what you know best. Regardless, a bright future ahead for this aircraft!
We are so privileged as viewers to see this sort of content
again fantastic video, Sam! at 13:07 you fly over my hometown Bad Nauheim (Germany). Only 35 000 residents but shown on your screen. Amazing. Bad Nauheim is the city where Elvis Presley lived during his army time.
My favorite plane, another anazing vid, Sam
Sam Chui welcome again back to Kenya big love
Love the energy of your Vlog ❤
Hi Sam
Have become a recent fan and follower
Love the stuff you so uniquely present
Thanks
Wish you lots more fun travels
PS. Didn’t appreciate the A-380 put down by the Etihad guy specially since Emirates is providing so much A380 service. Lol
Nice flight report, Sam.
Thank you as always for your videos. 👍👌😁
those cockpit camera shots are very impressive.
Congratulations for the channel Brazil
Hey sam it been a while since I didn’t watch Your videos i love planes so much different models I have a plan to buy all the plane models and stock them up.
Amazing video and amazing aircraft!!.
We love u Sam… all the best from Hong Kong
The A350 is one beautiful aircraft!
André Cossette, captain, is from… Québec (bonjour ! ) and working for Etihad! That’s so cool! Fantastic images from the cockpit, mate!
Hey Sam, we have been waiting for the DC9 video you promised us. 🙂
Great job Sam
Thank you immensely Sam for sharing your flight ✈️ experience with us for that we are immensely grateful 🙏 💝
great video sam
Mr Sam Chui would make an excellent actor in Hollywood . Hawaii 5-0 ... Magnum P.I.
i flew with al etihad once. it was a nice flight.
Awesome job sa,m.
Sam, you are a class act. I really like your humility.
Thank you for this vlog. Fly and stay safe. Ciao. 2022.
Sam love your videos
One of the more attractive liveries in the skies today.
The Super Diamond seats are, in my opinion, the most practical and comfortable business class seats. I'm happy to see Etihad got rid of the business class seats they had. I only flew one flight with Etihad (Abu Dahabi to Zurich) on a 787 and HATED the seat so much that I've never booked a flight with Etihad since.
The present one not good?
@@franklinloo2160 The Super Diamond seat Etihad is switching to now, is very good. It can be found on many other airlines. The former seat looked pretty, but was very impractical and uncomfortable. I flew on an Etihad 787-9 from Abu Dhabi to Zurich in 2019 on an overnight flight. The seat had no leg rest, only a recline feature. So, the only two options were to either be fully flat (for which the seat was very narrow in the foot well) or to sit upright. It was the worst "sleep" I have ever gotten on a plane. I like to have my feet up a bit and be slightly reclined while watching TV, and I like to sleep on aircraft in a zero G position. The best sleep I ever got on a plane was in an Air Canada Super Diamond seat, also on a 787-9, from Toronto to Dubai. I slept all the way from Newfoundland to Bulgaria.
Sam I had the pleasure of flying on the A350-1000 today from Chicago to Abu Dabhi. It was an awesome 12hrs 46mins.
nice business cabin,love the a350
Wow that is amazing man
A350-1000 such a sleek plane - love the eyeliner
incredible! can't wait to fly Etihad - A350-1000 one day!
great video!
Its a very beautiful video showing the world's most beautiful flight.... Dear Sir you proved to be awesome again.... Jayanthi
Fantastic video sam
I really enjoyed this video. As an A350 lover, the A350-1000 *(aka A35K)* is my favorite A350 model, it has almost the same length as the 777-300ER (B77W/B773), and it is also fuel-efficient like the Triple 7 too!! 😇
I’m also an A350 lover! What a magnificent beast it is
The A350-1000 Is just as long as the B777-300ER ( both are 74m long ) And it Is far more efficient.
Welcome to the club.
The B777-300ER still is powerful with 115,300 lbf GE90s and even the B777X

A lot days we missed u sam
Cant wait to see the videos in Canada
