Etihad First Class - Suites on Syd to Abu Dhabi leg?

[Dec1971]

Hi to everyone. I want to treat my father who lives in London to a first class return flight to Sydney and am looking at a great first class fare on Etihad. This time last year I flew Etihad first class Syd-LHR-SYD via Abu Dhabi. Now this was about the time they introduced their new first class suites, but they were only on the London - Abu Dhabi legs, which are considerably shorther than the connecting Sydney legs. Does anyone know if they have introduced the suites to the Sydney - Abu Dhabi legs yet? Any help much appreciated.

Supposedly they're moving along at a good pace upgrading their a/c to the new F and depending on who you speak to, are nearly done or already finished. Odds earlier in the year were 50/50 and the upgrade is scheduled to be complete in December.

Sam, thanks for the reply. I have also emailed the airline for their answer, just awaiting their response.
