Agreed. The F&B is a step up, but the comfort and overall experience isn't much better than J on a newer plane.Personally I wouldn’t bother with First class on an Etihad 777, the A380 was where it was at. Done both a few times and wouldn’t stump up the points for a 777 EY F again.
In addition to suggestion from other members , I would suggest you call Velocity customer care as they seem to have a good handle on finding the available reward seats which were not visible when checking online. Owing to the wait times , it helps if you are a VFF gold/platinum so you get priority in queue while waiting on hold.I’ve got around 700k to use and noticed there is First reward seats offered under Etihad but can’t find any,
Yes they do exist:
First rewards are available on Etihad and Singapore airlines however availability is limited. It also is not helped by the fact that post covid both Etihad and Singapore airlines are operating less aircraft with first class cabins meaning the routes they offer first class on are limited.
You're going to really struggle to find any first class rewards from Australia to Asia/Middle East so instead look from Asia/Middle East to Europe.
