“Europe to Melbourne”
Review of Etihad Airways


Reviewed 18 May 2019

Return flight from Europe to Melbourne via Amsterdam & Abu Dhabi , Good flight until Abu Dhiba where the airport transfer a mess, having to go through security a real bun flight, long delays, some people strugling to get connections. Again we found the quality of meals disappointing not as good as previous flights with Etihad.

Thank you for taking the time to review your flight with us. We are sorry to hear that you are not happy with the on board meal, we have refreshed our food service on board to improve the quality of our complimentary meal service which now includes a larger portion of main meal than previously. We hope to fly with you again to provide you a better experience. *Zoe

We paid extra for Premium Economy, we got about an extra 3 inches of leg room, costing an extra $175 each. My wife has food allergies so we opted for Vegetarian Oriental, she got insipid vegan meals.The airline does not cater for people with Gluten intolerance or other food allergies. The general standard of food was not great, they were more interested in selling foods from the trolley. The online check in is a joke, we tried several times during our holiday to do online check in, each time failed. We even tried to change my wifes food choice, that failed too. Our overall opinion of the flight, which was long was, we were not impressed.
