Etihad Website Blocked By Cat

[fullservice]

I want to book my flight to Europe and can't access the Etihad website directly. I tried it via another computer located in another country and it worked fine. They offer the cheapest flights that I could find and friends confirmed that and used them before.

Has anyone else problems accessing their site?

Maybe some Thai Airways guy wanted to screw up their business and made a friend at CAT block the Etihad website. It's unavailable on my True line for 2 days now while it works from other countries.

That’s weird. I can access etihad from overseas but can’t access http://www.thaiair.com/

No problems here, using TOT ADSL.

Works fine for me, but others have noticed problems with True, when using thebox.bz for torrents, maybe True has problems with international links.

I think it's just True. I've had to reenter many times every time I try to enter the site, but eventually I get in.

I have True and it works fine!

Etihad website has it's problems. I use TOT ,sometimes the page doesn't load correctly sometimes it does. I tried to book a biz flight recently and it wouldn't except any of my credit cards at the payment screen. Ended up ringing their BKK office and was told I could not make a reservation over the phone but had to turn up in person with my credit card. In the end I booked on the web at a slightly cheaper price with a 3rd party.(no problems with my card here). I think Etihad would have had to pay commission on this which at 10%(or is it 5%?) would have been around 200 GBP in lost earnings for them.

Another thing that seems absolutely useless is their "pick a seat" plans- no seats were available on certain legs and from today until eternity only 3 centre seats (each on their own) were showing as available where there was any availability. Got around this one by using travelocity which does work and showed true availability.

All in all very frustrating.

I might just book via expedia.

2 weeks ago, I booked a flight with Etihad online.

Since last week, their website has been inaccessible. I'm with True.

I have MAXNET ADSL and both work fine for me.

Being a Saturday afternoon they are a bit slow but otherwise fine.

Are you using firebox browser i had trouble logging on using it.

I changed to windows and it worked ok.

Their server infrastructure seems woefully inadequate for a major airline, with their site having numerous outages and other problems.

Great airline, crap Web channel.

Same with me. I tried booking a flight on their website and at the end it would not accept my VISA card. Useless.

They must be losing a lot of online business.
