AUH Etihad Premium Lounge at T1

Just outside of security is the Terminal 1 Etihad Premium Lounge.  As with the T3 lounge, no FIrst Class Lounge, just a roped off or separate area.  Etihad has really fallen behind in premium ground services since supposedly renovating the old First Class Lounge.  It's been nearly two year and still nothing.  Etihad claims May but I'll believe it when I see it. 

On seeing our First Class boarding passes, the check-in agent escorted to the First Class area of the lounge.  LOL.   

The agent offered us complimentary spa services but we declined.

The dining room with a nice selection of buffet food offerings.
