As you may have seen from my most recent post, Virgin Australia has just surpassed 10 million Velocity members, but that’s not the only thing they’re celebrating. Virgin Australia and Etihad have also just hit their tenth anniversary and to celebrate, Etihad is going to be giving out extra Velocity points. For this promotion, Etihad […]
Etihad has recently announced some pretty great upgrades that customers will enjoy. The Abu Dhabi based carrier has announced some major changes that will be coming soon onboard the A320 and A321 fleet. The carrier is currently upgrading the cabins on the aircraft which include brand new seating in the economy section which will include […]
The subject of Etihad and their amenity kits has long been quite a talking point. For quite sometime the airline has taken the kits off flights causing some confusion as it’s usually part of the overall Business Class experience and some passengers have gotten quite angry about this. Etihad use Scarmouche + Fandango amenities in […]
Etihad really hasn’t had a great few years when it comes to revenue and income. They’ve cut soo many things and it’s really sad to see such a great airline become like this. Don’t get me wrong, I love Etihad and probably always will BUT, the cost-cutting they’ve been doing recently is really quite pathetic […]
Over the past few months, we’ve seen Etihad cost cut quite significantly and as a result of that, a lot of things have been taken away or changed, mostly for the worse. The carrier also hasn’t been expanding near as much as they used due and this is due to the fact that they’re both […]
If you’re a frequent reader of the blog, you’ll know I have a soft spot for Etihad. I love the airline and have for quite sometime, however, when they do something wrong I’ll post about it and won’t hold back. Etihad has been cost cutting for almost a year and a bit now and sadly […]
It’s no secret, I love Etihad. I’ve flown them at least 30 times now and each flight has been great. Overall as an airline, they perform well but lately they’ve been making some decisions for the worse, making it harder for many to see how good of an airline they are. Cost-cutting isn’t rare, it’s […]
Complimentary chauffeurs are an absolutely fantastic benefit when travelling in a premium cabin. Many carriers around the world offer free pickup and drop off services and they range from luxury sports cars all the way up to helicopters. It makes the whole travel experience a lot smoother and is extremely helpful especially when you’re visiting a […]
Not long ago, I posted about Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Egypt And The UAE Cutting Ties With Qatar. At the time, there was no solid information from any of the airlines operating from those countries, however, Etihad has just made an announcement regarding their services to Doha. I imagine Gulf Air, Egypt Air, Emirates, Flydubai, Saudia and […]
In March, Etihad announced that they will be operating the A380 to Paris. The airline would be replacing the A380 that currently operates Abu Dhabi – Mumbai and would instead be putting the aircraft on the Abu Dhabi – Paris Charles De Gaulle route which is a much better route to utilise their flagship aircraft. Although, I […]
After spending 2 days in Abu Dhabi, It was time to make my way home via Doha to fly on the world’s longest flight to Auckland. From Abu Dhabi, there’s only really Etihad or Qatar to choose from. If I’m leaving from AUH I’ll always choose Etihad so I can enjoy their First Class Lounge. The flights to […]
After my short stay in Abu Dhabi, I was headed to Auckland through Doha. When departing Abu Dhabi my default lounge to go visit is the Etihad First Class lounge thanks to Virgin Australia Platinum but this time I wanted to try a different lounge. I had seen photos of the renovated lounge in Terminal 1 but […]
