Used to Etihad employees are very rude and unprofessional but now better than before over all is okay now
The staff were wonderful but the seats weren't very comfortable for a bigger guy like me.
Likes: on time departure, new plane Didn’t like:very poor quality food, very limited entertainment.no amenity kit etc.
Boarding was efficient, had to check in cabin luggage. Seats were narrow, food was more in quantity, received cabin luggage on the luggage belt which was fine.
Boarding catastrophic let alone have to claimb the plain rather than using jetway. 5.5 hr delay leaving had to do stop in Lgw for a new crew which further compounded the delay. Connecting flight would not wait and had to pend a night in a hotel. Curiously my seat would not go full flat.
In never flown this flight, because my flight coning from Barcelona was delayed.
I did not have a good experience in both flights of Etihad. First of all, when I was booking the flight, there were two options. The first option was a cheaper flight with longer layover (9 hrs), or a more expensive flight with shorter layover (2 hrs). I booked the expensive flight with shorter layover because I wanted a more comfortable trip. A few days before the trip, Etihad informed me that the departure time of my first flight will change 7 hours earlier, leading to an 9 hour layover, without giving me another option nor reimbursing me for the extra cost. They didn’t even send me an apologetic email for this change. Regarding the flight experience, I would rate it as mediocre. This is mostly because the pilots of both flights did their best to give us the worst approach to airports that I have ever experienced. In the case of the first flight they had to aboard the landing and took off again right before touching the landing strip. The captain said that it was due to wind conditions but the second time the pilot followed the same direction as the first time to land the plane.
Etihad flight sector is a local . .give the same quality upto destination
Seat selection screen while online check-in could include free seats to choose from and show the options before we proceed. Currently, it is auto-allocated and there are no options for free seat selections.
Lovely crew - comfortable journey despite it being an older plane.
Aer Lingus was the actual airline so they handled everything professionally.
Business class area too small and chair and equipment not comfortable .
Boarding could have been better organized. The one member of staff disappeared for a while so boarding by group relied on honesty.
I never made this flight but the staff helped to get me rebooked (see previous review)
No land services during boarding, specially while moving from terminal to another
Economy extremely cramped. Dinner was not good. Breakfast was quite good. Crew was excellent.
No gate was assigned until 5mins before boarding so left us running to find it. Then over 2 hours on runway. First due to weather, which was understood, but then over 1 hour for something that wasn't really a problem. Poor communication between ground control and flight crew. The flight crew was wonderful. British airways will be on list of airlines to travel again.
The lack of organization at the boarding gate was shocking. It was impossible to determine where the line was and it was hard to understand the announcements. It was so confusing that my wife wanted to get on the wrong flight. I am also annoyed that BA is adopting the sleazy policies that the budget airlines invented of charging extra for even the first checked bag or choosing your seat.
Excellent service smooth flight f or the most part food was right now.I'm expectedly good.
Tv screen didn’t work asked twice and never got an answer. 10 1/2 hrs no entertainment screen
