English Premier League LIVE with Amadeus & Etihad Airways Excited, joyful, exhilarated, enthusiastic, anticipating! These are some of the words describing the overall sentiment of the group that was heading to Manchester to enjoy a once in a lifetime experience of watching a LIVE English Premier League between Manchester City Football Club (MCFC) and Cardiff City on 18th January 2014. This was made possible through a joint marketing promotion between Amadeus and Etihad Airways conducted last year in celebration of Etihad Airways launching of their double daily flights to Abu Dhabi. The promotion was a huge success with 66% increase in Etihad Airways bookings compared to the same period last year. Landing into Abu Dhabi in the wee hours of the morning, it is so amazing to see how busy the airport was. We were given a hospitality tour of Etihad Airport and the business class lounges with light refreshments served. Thanks to the fantastic hospitality of our Etihad Airways hosts, Jane and Jasmine. The climax of the trip was the match day itself. Arriving into Etihad Stadium 2 hours before the start of the game, we were ushered to the Platinum Box located on the 5th floor of the Colin Bell Stand. The view of the pitch was breathtaking, spectacular and panoramic. Like VIPS Mancunians, we were served with a sumptuous 4 course meal and free flow of wine and champagne from the kitchen of guess who? Wow, its JAMIE OLIVER! And beyond our wildest imaginations came the next BIG surprise! Colin Bell and Tony Book, the legendary players of Manchester City walked in and greeted us. And the moment we have been waiting for, the blowing of the whistle for the kick off with 60,000 spectators roaring away. Goose bumps and chills down the spine. What an experience! Let s hear from our customers. I kept pinching myself during the game to know this is for real! Thanks to the great hospitality of both Etihad Airways and Amadeus for doing such a wonderful and creative promotion! said June Hong from Parlo Tours Sdn Bhd. It was a lifetime experience and a dream come true to visit one of the renowned stadiums in Manchester. This amazing trip has certainly increase our loyalty to Amadeus and Etihad Airways, said Suet Yen from Bestour & Travel (M) Sdn Bhd. 2 Amadeus Bulletin Malaysia April 2014 Amadeus Bulletin Malaysia April 2014 3
