Etihad Airways is to open a new premium lounge
at London Heathrow airport as part of the airline’s flights moving
from Terminal Three to Terminal Four on 30 September 2009.
First and business class customers and Etihad Guest Gold
and Silver card holders will have access to the new lounge,
located opposite the gates most commonly used by
Etihad Airways for flight departures.
The lounge
gives passengers an opportunity to relax in style and enjoy a
range of services and facilities. These include individual
treatment rooms where therapists from Six Senses Spa will offer
facials, foot and leg massages. Customers can also enjoy five-star
dining facilities in the lounge with a selection of foods from
around the world, all cooked in an open kitchen.
A
modern timber panelled business centre provides individual
workstations and privacy for those with laptops. Other features
include a prayer room, a relaxing seating area with Poltrona Frau
leather chairs and a bathroom and shower facilities for customers
to freshen up in prior to departure.
Peter
Baumgartner, Etihad Airways’ chief commercial officer, said, “We
are proud that we will soon be offering one of the best customer
lounges available at London Heathrow.
“Our new
premium lounge at the airport represents a major investment and
demonstrates the airline’s continuing commitment to deliver
world-class premium products and services to its first and
business class customers on the ground as well as in the air.”
Etihad Airways unveiled its
first new premium lounge
outside the UAE in July 2009 in Frankfurt, Germany.
The airline also provides a
complimentary limousine service for its first and
business class passengers flying in and out of London
Heathrow.
The airline’s highly-anticipated
new
first class suite entered into service between Abu Dhabi and
London Heathrow last month.
The new
private suite provides first class customers with an extra-large
leather seat, upholstered by world-renowned leather company
Poltrona Frau, which extends to a fully-flat bed, 80.5 inches in
length.
Within the cabin customers also have access
to a large and luxurious changing room with a full length mirror,
wash basin and leather fold-down seat to allow passengers to
freshen up at any time during the flight.
