A look inside Etihad Airways ‘Business Studios’- Rs 75k worth of pure luxury affair for business class travelers

In recent years, the business class in airlines has undergone a dramatic makeover. Right from the standards of service, comfort, and accommodations, this sector has witnessed an unseen level of development and change.

The golden age in the 60s to now, commercial aviation has seen lie-flat seats, personal entertainment systems, and menus crafted by gourmet chefs are becoming the industry norm over the years. Even though business class comprises a small number seats per plane, its pricier fares and premium clientele are important profit drivers for the airlines.

Cashing in on it, Etihad Airways has introduced a Mumbai- Abu Dhabi flight which has 70 ‘Business Studios’. We have heard about Etihad residence so far, but what is a Business Studio you may be thinking. Well, Business Studios are located on the upper deck of the A380, all offering direct aisle access, a fully flat bed and an increase of 20 % in personal space. Sounds fancy, right? It looks fancier!
Here’s what these classy studios of the skies actually look like.
