MAN-AUH-JNB

Can anyone who's been recently know if the MAN-AUH and AUH-JNB (return) is on the new style or old style A330-200 aircraft. Either way what was your experience and thoughts. We're flying business class next Thurs 26th July.

Thanks

I flew business class on the MAN-AUH a couple of months ago and it was the new style. Couldnt comment on the AUH-JNB as I have never flow this leg.

If you are travelling alone choose a window seat if possible. A or K are best, but B & J are ok too. If you are travelling with someone and then opt for the seats in the centre.

The seats reclined to the 180 degree flatbed and were comfortable. The service on the plane was excellent, as was the food and drinks. All in all I really enjoyed the experience and will be flying Etihad business class next year

Thank you so much for your quick reply. I am hoping we can experience the new style! Even though I am flying with my husband we have chosen seats 7 A & K because I sleep most of the way and believe they are pretty private.

Travelled on DUB-JNB in May, as far as I remember...in economy, it looked like the new product when peeking at business class. I do remember it was the Man City plane on the flight from JHB-AUH.

The SO wasn't impressed with the plane....being a Man U supporter....I was all excited to see a new livery and to fly in it made it great!
