We had an awesome night in Abu Dhabi. As I mentioned in the previous installment, we stayed at the Hyatt Capital Gate. We visited the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, walked along the Corniche, visited the Emirates Palace (where we had a great dinner at the Emirati restaurant), etc.

Share your questions, experiences, and thoughts below.
Is there a reason for the inconsistency in the cabin at boarding? Some seats had pillows, one had a blanket, one had a newspaper, some had headphones. I'm used to getting on to a plane and seeing all seats with the same setup.
The slight presentation difference is your and Ford's meals was interesting. Wonder why your fruit was served in a bowl and his wasn't.
The staggered seats you flew before on Etihad during a long haul flight had a nicer design, no?
I recently flew EY First A380 JFK to AUH and 787 AUH to IAD but flew EK to MLE bc they had more flexible schedule. I'll have to look at EY next time but I don't think the A340 is a daily flight is it? I saw more A320 service. ALSO-- although I'm sure you've already done so but if you not you Absolutley need to stay at the Rosewood AUH. It's simply awesome. Not the best location unless you're shopping but it's the best for the rest.
Lucky, great review. Last year I was able to find Saver points availability and use AA miles to fly on the A380 JFK-AUH flight (pre devaluation). Are you seeing any availability, at all, for First on the A380 from JFK? I am not. I am hoping to book a trip to Maldives with the same first/connection experience as yours.
I prefer the old 773/345 J seat over the new seats on the 789 or the 388, the older product more leg room width, the new 789 and 388 are too tight by the knees.
We flew this route in April and both times it was served by A320. Would have been nice to have some flat beds.
Since you were connecting on an F ticket, why are you sitting in J on this leg? Award availability never opened up or do they block F to MLE?
