Overview

The Etihad Arrivals Lounge in Abu Dhabi is the only arrivals lounge in the UAE—and one of the few arrivals lounges in the world to be open around the clock.

Etihad passengers arriving in Business or First Class, as well as Etihad Platinum members, may enjoy a rain shower, light snacks, and coffee and tea. The lounge is also the meetup point for Etihad’s chauffeur service.

The Arrivals Lounge also features a small business center and a relaxation area. The hair salon was discontinued during the COVID pandemic.

  The agent was incorrect. The policy, as stated by Etihad, is as follows: “We invite our First and Business Class guests and Etihad Guest Exclusive members to enjoy the lounge facilities.” There are numerous reports of folks using the lounge on a layover.
  
  FWIW you’re better off presenting your inbound boarding pass at arrivals lounges.
