F Lounge in AUH

Hi all, I’m assuming the F lounge is still closed? Is the roped off area in the Business lounge offering menu based food ordering or is the only perk these days a roped off area (not really a perk)?

F lounge is closed at least since 4 July when I was passing through AUH. Which part of the lounge is roped off for F passengers?

I was there in June. You get escorted from the Concierge desk to the roped area.
There are tables set up for both relaxing and waiter service meals from a limited menu.

Yup, as an update for those also wondering, Im a plat and family is gold; we were all allowed to be in the roped off area and full a la carte menu and F drinks. was quite nice as a substitute for the full lounge for now.

Is there any estimated return date for the actual F lounge?

I’m flying from AUH back to the US next month in F.

At the Etihad business lounge right now, in the F roped off section. As mentioned above, food is chosen through a menu and was served to your table. Food was good, and so was the service even in the middle of the night (3am right now)

First time flying F with Etihad. Surprised at what seemed like a whole lobster tail on the risotto!

Hey, how was the airport today? I'm flying on Wednesday and there have been reports of massive queues for economy check-in, but not sure what it's like at Business / First.

Any chance The F lounge will be open by Christmas? Have an IAD-AUH-BKK in K and J. My guess would be no.

obligatory bump as we travel later this month from AUH. I assume it won’t be open, but any insight when it will open?

I'm starting to think it might be more of if it will open then when it will reopen. I hopeful that it will be open by Christmas, but not expecting to be.

Flew today still the Biz lounge and they said no plans to revert, with next to no F passengers am not overly surprised as it requires a LOT of staff
