Etihad airways is an airline based out of Abu Dhabi and is in my opinion a 5 star airline. I have used this airline when on flights to south east Asia with a stop in Abu Dhabi. I can honestly say i don't know why there are any bad reviews about this airline. From the offset, i was impressed with cleanliness of the plane in which i was travelling on. The comfort of the seats was perfect as well as the in flight entertainment. Having your own personal screen in the back of the seat in front is a stroke of genius although i suppose all of the top airlines do this these days. The food was better than most airline food i have tried as well as free ...  Read the complete review

Etihad Airways is an airline I became familiar with through my job. My extremely varied role includes PA work and I have been responsible for organising travel for various members of the company, mainly the partners. One partner in particular is a very fussy flier and hates flying but always sung the praises of Etihad. So, when I was looking for flight to Bangkok and Etihad came in cheaper than anybody, I did not hesitate to book with them. From the minute we checked in the service was incredible. Our flight was delayed by about 2 hours due to a technical fault which meant that we would miss our connecting flight in Abu Dhabi but this was ...  Read the complete review

Due to time spent visiting family in Abu Dhabi I use Etihad quite a lot, probably 3-4 return flights a year and am also a member of their frequent flyer program. Despite me flying with them frequently I do sometimes feel that they do have areas they need to improve in. Before the flight Etihad give you the option to check in online 20 hours before your flight which is ideal because it allows you to change your seat and if you have no check in bags you don't need to be at the airport so early which is good if you find airports very stressful. A word to the wise though in my experience with the website if you do try and change your seats during check in the ...  Read the complete review

Express Review on Etihad Airways

24 hour Etihad flight delay, a string of lies, flight diversion, virtually no refreshments, with only one proper meal during the delay, which was with Etihad airways from London to Kuala Lumpur via Abu Dhabi. In my experience they are the worst airline I have ever had the misfortune to fly with... search "etihad complaints" online for an idea of more airline reviews.
etihad has quite modern aircraft and a good inflight entertainment system when it worked- which wasnt often, as the maintenance was so poor. Abu Dhabi airport where Etihad change planes, is also a 1 star airport in my experience.

LHR-BNE and SYD-LHR Feb 2009 Superficially Etihad is comparible with Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, etc. However the actual customer experience leaves a lot to be desired. I flew five sectors with them - stopping in Abu Dhabi and Singapore on the way out, and in Abu Dhabi on the way back. All five sectors had different crew, and there was no consistency in service offererd. Some of the crew were very attentive, but many were surly and uncaring. Some of the sectors had good food, some had undercooked poor food. On some sectors I was offered more drinks than I could sensibly consume; on others I got off the flight thirsty. I agree with comments made by other ...  Read the complete review
