The airline’s first luxury lounge in Europe has been opened by Etihad Airways at Germany’s Frankfurt Airport. This lounge of 275 square metres can hold up to fifty passengers.

The lounge is situated in Transit Area E which is ideally located next to the gate used most often by Etihad. Business travelers on First class and business class flights have access to this facility up to three hours before they depart on their flight.

There is a wide selection of foods available at various dining facilities which will cater to most world tastes and a wooden paneled business centre caters for those who want to keep productive with workstations and telephone facilities available with free calls within the Frankfurt region.

There is also a prayer room, a plush seating area cover in luxurious Italian leather and shower amenities for passengers to use when they need to freshen up.

The chief commercial officer of the airline, Peter Baumgartner said:

“Our new facility offers a luxurious lounge area in a truly superb environment that will provide Etihad’s premium customers with a range of entertainment options if they want them, or plenty of other ways to simply sit back and enjoy some relaxation prior to boarding their flight.”

There will be another premium lounge opening at London Heathrow Airport at Terminal 4.
