I know someone who got kosher meals in the AUH lounge by emailing a bunch of people at Etihad including the CEO. 
and while at it, did they get a kosher wine cellar arranged for the on board lounge on the 380?

I wish I could. Anyone see any space from Australia to AUH or vv? How about JFK to AUH? Been searching for a while and nothing on a380, only 777.

What was the Scotch selection like? Have heard they are cutting back and have swapped Chivas 18 for JWB (and I express no view on which one tastes better)

So book that and hope to change.
You want to lock in the better rate

It is very easy but yes, the PUTPAC is something you will need to suffer through.

So I called Etihad and in transit passengers can access this lounge.
The good thing about the arrivals lounge is I can keep my hand luggage stored there for the day.

Does the chauffeur expect a tip?
