Etihad Airways has introduced a new program, “Etihad Wellbeing,” designed to make travel more comfortable and help passengers arrive at their destination feeling refreshed.
The program brings together improvements to the airline’s existing products and services, covering every stage of the journey—from quiet spaces and pre-departure spa treatments at lounges at Zayed International Airport to onboard amenities, bedding, meals and hydration beverages.
For meals, Etihad has expanded its selection of nutritious, protein-rich dishes and plant-based options. It also offers menus including lactose-free, low-sodium, low-fat, reduced-salt and gluten-free choices for passengers requiring special meals for health, medical or religious reasons.
In First Class and The Residence, passengers are provided with natural cotton bedding, memory foam mattresses and sleepwear. In Business Class, the airline has introduced “Destination Collection” amenity kits featuring products from Korean cosmetics brand LANEIGE, its first partnership with an airline. The kits include a Water Sleeping Mask, Lip Sleeping Mask and hand cream. In First Class, Etihad also provides sheet masks and eye masks in addition to ESPA skincare products.
The airline will also introduce a new signature scent for its aircraft and lounges. In addition, it operates a “Quiet Cabin” initiative to reduce unnecessary onboard announcements and offers meditation, stretching and sleep-related content through its inflight entertainment system. Many aircraft feature lighting designed to support rest on long-haul flights and reduce jet lag. At Zayed International Airport, skincare, massage and hair services are available at Be Relax by Etihad Spa.
Jotna Chaudhry, Vice President of Guest Experience and Hospitality, commented, “Research shows that as people fly more frequently, they are looking for ways to maintain healthy habits while traveling. Etihad Wellbeing is our commitment to making air travel as restorative and rejuvenating as possible.”
