The Boeing 787-10 is considerably more likely to be used for the airline&#8217;s once-daily route to Dublin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An A350 may fly the early morning flight from India to Delhi, but it&#8217;s much more likely to be a 787-9 or -10. When it comes to <strong>Mumbai&#8217;s three daily flights<\/strong>, you&#8217;ll see a 787-9 or -10 in the early morning and an Airbus A320 in the late afternoon. While the A350 may be present for this late-night flight, your chances of boarding a Dreamliner are marginally better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Boeing 777-300ER, 787-9, 787-10, or Airbus A350-1000 are all possible options for the daily flight to Bangkok; it simply really depends on the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Business and economy classes are available on each of Etihad&#8217;s five Airbus A350-1000 aircraft. 371 seats are available in total, with 44 in business class and 327 in economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay tuned with us.
