Razzler1973 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I live in Dubai, Ettihad are a good airline, certainly on a par with Emirates, maybe even a little better as I think Emirates have gone downhill recently :/ Luckily Virgin now fly Dubai - London so can use them when visiting home. I think when the new planes are in use then Emirates quality will increase again, some of the planes are getting a bit tatty, not <ropey Eastern Europe Airlines> level of tatty but just a few things here and there, talk is they are waiting for the new planes. Can recommend Etihad, prices similar to Emirates too, maybe little less. If in Dubai they arrange a free bus service to Abu Dhabi if based in Dubai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nohave Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I enjoyed flying both with Etihad and Emirates. Qatar Airways? not sure. Sometimes they're alright sometimes they're not. Long long looooong queu waiting at chek in. I never get that with Etihad or Emirates. Reconfirming a booking or rather the return flight with Qatar which was back then the norm, was a nightmare as it took me over 6 hours of phoning their office in Tunis and they simply would not pick up the phone. A real nightmare. Eventually I went to theri office in Tunis and i was apalled at the terrible and rude service I received from them. Flights are usually ok with them it's just the service from some of their offices is really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libya 115 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I think for a long time Emirates had a 'good' reputation and I used them for UK-Bangkok flights regularly, quickly getting to Silver Skywards. I even opted for them when flying at the expense of my company. However times change and I have defected to Qatar Airways. I am interested to hear all the good comments about Etihad and it seems that their business class is better? than Qatar Airways. I will give them a go next UK trip early 2009.
