Flying Etihad
The first time I remember hearing about Etihad was when the Teltra Dome was renamed Etihad stadium in Melbourne. I guess their branding campaign worked and the millions of dollars they spent in getting the rights was a successful move. I had high expectations of Etihad because of the flow over effect of the reputation and brand of Emirites. I wasn’t disappointed and for a $2000 flight to Oman, it was excellent value. The food was acceptable and edible, the attendents were satisfactory and polite, and the tv screens were the biggest I’ve ever had for a flight. Comparatively, I’ve flown with Qantas on a long flight before even without individual tv screens, so it was excellent. I will definitely fly with Etihad again when I have the chance. In addition, Etihad allowed me to change the flight twice, and even gave me 50% off the cost of the change after my personal circumstances forced me to change my flight. ye
In conclusion:
- Etihad good - like a more affordable Emirites.
- Great customer service, flexible and understanding of changed personal circumstances.
