The initiative combines existing and new wellness-related services across airport lounges and aircraft. Jyotsna Chowdhry, Etihad’s vice president of product and hospitality, stated that research shows frequent flyers are increasingly seeking ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle while traveling.\n\nKey components of the programme include quieter cabins, upgraded bedding with natural cotton and memory foam mattresses, premium sleepwear, and wellness-focused entertainment options. First Class passengers receive Destination Collection amenity kits from Korean beauty brand LANEIGE, which includes products like the Water Sleeping Mask, Lip Sleeping Mask, and hand cream. Business Class passengers enjoy similar kits.\n\nThe airline also offers nutritious dining options, including protein-rich dishes, plant-based choices, and special meals catering to various dietary requirements. Hydrating drinks and spa treatments at Etihad lounges are part of the package. Passengers can access meditation, stretching, and sleep-focused content through the inflight entertainment system. Quiet Cabin initiative limits non-essential announcements during flights.\n\nAt Zayed International Airport, Etihad lounges provide quiet spaces and pre-departure spa treatments through the Be Relax by Etihad Spa service, which includes skincare, massage, and hair treatments. The airline is introducing a signature scent across its aircraft and lounges. Etihad aims to continuously refine the programme as it further develops its airport and onboard services. This initiative comes as Gulf carriers strive to differentiate their premium offerings beyond traditional amenities.",
