Prologue:

I wanted to experience Etihad First Class "Apartment".

While being in France and in Marseille to see my relatives. My first goal was to fly round trip in First Class To AUH from London where you have the Airbus A380. But I had once again a tiny window for my flight.

In order to do so. I called American Airlines to book the ticket. I'm racking up miles thanks to my American Airlines credit card.

While I managed to find the inbound flight, nothing was available for the outbound. As I was close from the departure date and with no solution (BA is not one of them), I decided to buy the ticket to AUH.

TK was my choice for few reasons:
- Reliable
- Good catering even in economy
- The lounge in Istanbul.
- Cheap ticket

Ticket with TK : 300€
Ticket with AA : $21

Shall we begin ;)

I arrived at 10 am and check-in was underway.
