It's my birthday and similar to a few years ago I have a fancy flight booked, this time on Etihad. Earlier in the year Etihad First Class Apartments seats became bookable and I am lucky enough to book one for my birthday! To many, Etihad First Class Apartments are considered one of the best first class products in the sky. So having an opportunity to fly them on my birthday is something I am...

Is it worth the return trip over the...
