Good service and newish aircraft,with working entertainment facilities.
I bid on and got 2 extra seats from Abu Dhabi to Melbourne 13 hours flight. $400. Cost. This meant I could lay down and sleep, as I had to work next day on arrival. I hadn’t seen this type of offer before, but I just bid what it was worth to me to sleep for 8 hours. Each seat was $200. But I wanted 2 seats otherwise i wouldn’t have been able to lay down.
Etihad sent an email a few days before flight and you can offer what you want, if it appeals to you. On this occasion it did.
Food was pretty good also, well...for airline food anyway .
