Etihad Airways, the national carrier of the United Arab Emirates, proudly announced the launch of two new European routes this June: direct services to Krak\u00f3w, and Palma de Mallorca.

The service is the first direct connection linking the Balearics with the East, operated by the advanced Airbus A321LR featuring private First suites, as well as exclusive, lie-flat Business seats all window facing with direct-aisle access.<\/p>\n For travellers from Abu Dhabi and beyond, Mallorca, Ibiza and the wider Archipelago are now an accessible corner of the Mediterranean in a single connection. Palma de Mallorca blends cosmopolitan style with centuries of history \u2013 from La Seu Cathedral to the old town\u2019s winding streets, world-class marinas and exceptional dining \u2013 while the island offers secluded coves, almond groves, hilltop villages and turquoise waters.<\/p>\n Connecting to Abu Dhabi and beyond<\/strong><\/p>\n Guests from Poland, Spain and the Balearics now benefit from a smooth nonstop link to Abu Dhabi, with a premium gateway to the Middle East, Africa, Asia, India and Australia, and the option to extend their journey with a stopover in the UAE capital to enjoy the world-class culture, serene beaches and authentic Emirati hospitality.<\/p>\n Elevating Travel: The A321LR experience<\/strong><\/p>\n The Airbus A321LR provides elevated comfort, refined design and high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity across all cabins.<\/p>\n The A321LR introduces a true First experience with two private First suites, with sliding doors for privacy and an elegant space to dine, work and relax. With space for a companion, the First seats transform effortlessly to fully flat beds complete with luxurious textiles.

Luxury amenities and fine dining elevate the service. In the Economy cabin, 144 ergonomically designed Economy seats feature 4K touchscreens with Etihad\u2019s extensive range of entertainment including a wide range of movies and programming to suit all guests.<\/p>\n With Krak\u00f3w and Palma de Mallorca now on the map, Etihad continues to expand its reach and redefine premium travel.
