“Worst airline I have used in 30 years”
Review of Etihad Airways


Reviewed 21 December 2024

Etihad are a nightmare. Canceled mine and my partners flights even thought we notified them of a change required to our booking well in advance due my partner having a medical emergency. Their "customer service" is anything but, after days of them dodging the issue, repeated promises of action with nothing happening, we ended up having to book with another airline. Etihad are now trying to extort almost $3000 out of us to get home on a flight we have already paid for in full. Complete con artists that do not care about their customers at all.

Date of travel: December 2024

Hello Sherpa,


Thank you for your valuable feedback. Guests are able to check all our flight facilities during the booking flow. If your flight is a short haul flight this would be operated by the A320 or A321.
