Abu Dhabi Airport Terminal A has opened. I visited the brand new terminal that completely changed the travel experience.
Covering 742,000 square meters, it is one of the largest airport terminals in the world. The $3 billion building, which is triple the size of the old terminal, is set to double the current airport’s capacity and manage up to 45 million passengers per year. It’s capable of handling 79 planes at once and 11,000 passengers per hour.
Stands at the center of the new terminal at Abu Dhabi airport is Sana Al‐Nour, a unique structure and the largest public artwork in the Middle East. The departure area features 12 check-in rows with self check-in counter. There are dedicated check-in areas for Etihad Business and First Class passengers.
At the airside, I visited the new Etihad Airways First Class and Business Class lounge in Terminal A. The impressive new lounge spans three floors of Terminal A’s. Check out all the lounge features in my video. Etihad’s First Class lounge features restaurant-style dining and private rooms.
Abu Dhabi International Airport is being renamed as Zayed International Airport, with the official new name to take effect from February 9.

New Gwader Airport in Pakistan should be on your next bucket list 😊
Hi Sam please request Etihad airways to start flying to Perth. Best airline. I miss flying with Etihad.
Amazing video Sam. Really nice to see the new terminal A at Abu Dhabi airport. 😍😍
روعه ياسام❤
finally! long overdue!
That check-in area has the atmosphere of a fridge freezer.
Very nice service Etihad airways🎉🎉🎉❤
Oil money..
I wish I could be there where you are but I think it's impossible because I'm here in the Philippines without any chance somehow to do what you do. But anyway I extend my thank to you for touring me by viewing inside the newest airport of Abu Dhabi.
ប្រទេសអ្នកមានសប្បាយណាស់ខ្ញុំទៅណាស់ សប្បាយ សប្បាយ
Wizz is my life
I like how many countries build now and put tourism in mind. Gone are the days when you build simple things, now you build so people can come see it.
Amazing vlog
Wow a very luxurious airport. I have never seen an airport this wonderful before, but I am surprised that there is no internal train that makes it easy for passengers to move inside.
This new terminal in Ah-Bunda-Bi seems to be very modern
WOW YOU NEVER CISE TO AMAZE ME IT Does LOOK LIKE BEAUTIFUL TERMINAL THE CERY BEST TO ETIHAD .
I just left that airport after the Formula 1 races ! It is an amazing airport !! Very easy flow from Check- In, Security, and Boarding! The Pearl Lounge is very nice as well !
Did you been to hamad international airport for qatar airways it’s way more bigger and luxury and it has more marketing shopping and way more restaurants and more and more you can check it
I think Doha terminal is far much better than this 😊
Sam you been travelling all around the world except Palestine don't you wish Palestine should have airport or seaport and they can travel free like all countries people around the world.
Natural gas were found offshore the Gaza Strip worth trillions of $ that's why Israel wants all people in Gaza Strip to move out.
As a person who experienced Abu dabui terminal A I will give it a 9/10
Who’s the Architect ?
Yesterday morning I'm landed in the abu Dhabi trm..A good 👍😊👍 airport
I just visited the new Airport and it was very cool, still missing free lounge areas like Doha Airport has.
The Airplanes are also good but the Food and Cabin crew need an Upgrade.

Hi Sam. I love your content. You never cease to amaze me. Your quality of work is exceptional. And you up the ante with each new video. Although you produce a very high quality of work, you step it up a notch with each new video. I love it. Thank you for another great content. Cheers from Papua New Guinea.
Incredible coverage of the passenger journey Sam!! It was an honour to have worked on the commercial planning and interior design of T1. Seeing our design of the Jewellery ribbon, sunglasses spectrum, icons ‘egg’ stores and luxury pods with my own eyes and how precise they are to our vision is truly spectacular.
Why US airports can’t look like these?
New Airport terminals built are getting more and more better and ultra modern, but I argue some are way oversized. Like walking to the gate takes 8 minutes is a little ridiculous. I get Abu Dhabi has many passenger traffic, but could have made like 2 to cut down the size.
Super airport
Having good airport or the good terminal is good,but the service of ETIHAD AIRWAYS is total trash,which truly shows the image of the higher management and the ownership,will never fly with Etihad Airways again
One day I will work with Etihad airways as cabin crew inshallah ❤
I've flown with IndiGo to Ahmedabad Airport on 23rd November.. AUH T1 really awesome..❤ I must say that, This is the best place I've ever seen / visited in my life till today 🤩🛫 I ❣️AUH..
What a breath taking facility! Thank you, Sam, for consistently providing us with the latest in aviation splendor from around the world!!!
Amazing billionaires airport
Maybe you could fly on an avro rj. Its My fav plane but i wont be able to fly it sadly. + the new terminal looks stunning
This new terminal`s exterior design reminds me of Vnukovo airport in Moscow
Wow
Very nice thanks from kochi.
Excellent
👍
What was the name of that cigar that you tried???
Ethiad food looks amazing .. i'm NGL compared to the higher quality food I eat.. I was deeply disappointed with emirates first class… their fries were like frozen box fries… and their veggies and things weren't fresh even the fresh ones for Dipping were dry .. celery was like white insted of green …. that private room you just showed is also what I would have expected from Emirates but insted it was like lounge chairs that don't lie flat.. you can't sleep at all.. and its in a quiet space with many other people and just walls separating and can hear every noise of people coming in and out.. cleaners vaccuuming etc… seems odd but they don't care if you are trying to have a nap it seems.. found that weird.
Lulu was ist das u manar was ist das lachen wo ist das yina
Was ist das
I love your work,thanks!!!!!!
