Sorry, but this is wrong.

http://www.etihad.com/en-fr/experien...usiness-class/ states:
a turn-down service including a mattress, luxury loungewear and slippers on ultra long-haul flights
The mattress we got but no slippers nor lounge wear. Apparently EY considers flights >12h block time to be ultra long-haul (ULH).
So far I've only traveled on different F routes and the ~16h AUH-GRU where lounge wear was also offered in C. Thus I assumed it would be the norm.

To make things even more interesting the mobile site has different wording and the German mobile site doesn't even mention ULH.
I did survive the journey (and enjoyed it) but it did not feel to be on the same level I remembered it to be on.
