With Etihad Airways taking premium travel experience a notch higher above other airlines, booking Etihad flights from India to USA is becoming irresistible. The list of reasons to fly with Etihad Airways is growing bigger with the opening of a brand new facility for USA-bound passengers at Zayed International Airport, Abu Dhabi. It is Etihad US Preclearance Lounge aiming to enhance “travel experience for passengers flying to the United States” from India and other countries.
Clearing the US customs and immigration before physically entering the US is a great advantage and convenience for first-time travelers, senior citizens, and families with kids. What makes it greater is the new Etihad lounge located near the US CBP Preclearance facility at Abu Dhabi Airport. You can unwind at the lounge and refresh yourself for the connecting flight to any of the Etihad Airways destinations in the US after completing the US entry formalities in Abu Dhabi.
The Etihad US Preclearance Lounge is meticulously designed to align with the brand personality and attributes of UAE’s national carrier – the promise of superlative travel experience from and via Abu Dhabi. The lounge is a perfect interface between the convenience of US preclearance and the comfort of lounging in a serene environment. It offers light dining options and a classy selection of beverages to Etihad guests during a transit layover at AUH Airport.
The new lounge offers more than a refined space for dining and unwinding. You can directly board select Etihad flights to USA from the Etihad lounge near the US CBP Preclearance facility at Abu Dhabi. It truly makes your transit seamless at Zayed International Airport and elevates your travel experience with Etihad Airways.
Who can enter Etihad US Preclearance Lounge?
Unsurprisingly, ‘The Residence’ guests, first class travelers, and those with business class flight tickets can enter the lounge for no additional charges. Also, the lounge is open to Platinum and Emerald members of the Etihad Guest program, among the passengers of Etihad flights to USA from India and other countries. Economy class flyers can access the lounge for a fee, but entry is subject to availability.
