Traditionally, passengers holding Business Class tickets on Etihad-operated flights have been granted access to Etihad’s airport lounges, including the Business Lounge at Abu Dhabi. Etihad’s official lounge pages and Business cabin information confirm complimentary lounge access is a standard benefit for most Business fares. That said, airline fare structures evolve, and some cheaper or “unbundled” Business fares may exclude lounge entry. To avoid surprises at the airport, call
