CarlBkk Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 When I looked last week it seemed to be Eva at 36,000 baht although personally I'd spend another 5K and fly the much better Etihad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Carl, Why do you think Etihad are superior? I fly EVA but could easily be persuaded differently, although the stopover would have an effect.

Sarge Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 got a ticket with Eva flying out on 31st Dec (yeah why not, what a great way to celebrate a new year flying high in the sky at midnight ) at 613 quid, best deal I found for a direct flight. As far as I know Etihad does a stop over to Abu Dhabi and charges you £626. No comparison really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightcrew1 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Etihad via Abu Dhabi 38,000 baht round trip including all taxes leave 22/23 December and back 30 December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Carl, Why do you think Etihad are superior? I fly EVA but could easily be persuaded differently, although the stopover would have an effect. Moss I would prefer direct but the stopover in Abu Dhabi is easy, just 2 hours, loads of chairs and free internet. Eva fall down on service (ultra strict stewardesses, seatbelt sign comes on needlessly about 5 times per hour and is enforced), they get a bit grumpy if you ask for things too. Food is no good and entertainment is terrible (choice of films and TV stations far inferior to other airlines I've tried unless you're Chinese...then it'll be fine). Often headsets and screens play up. Etihad is far superior on all of the above. Within the last 2 years I've flown Eva 3 times and Etihad 4. I've now chosen to stick with Etihad even if the cost is slightly higher and flight time 4 hours longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bravingbangkok Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Etihad is the best airline. For business or for pleasure Etihad is the way to go, I travel between London and sometimes to New York multiple times a year and Etihad offers the best service and price.

citizen33 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 etihad all the way the service is miles better than most i have travelled with ,etihad quoted me 540 but i decided against xmas in blighty Have flown twice with each in the last 18 months and I'd say they are both very acceptable. I tend to go with price and have booked EVA next time. Etihad has very nice aircraft but for me the direct flight is preferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isaanbrit Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I totally agree, Etihad rock! Also though, if I were on a bus for 12 hours, I'd wanna stop for a break. The same thing with flying for me, if the stop-overs convenient why not. Another option is to fly on Egypt air - very cheap, absolutely terrible service but you can visit the Pyramids on your way through. You can extend your stopover there by as many days as you like at next to no cost!!!
