    I've flown with Etihadairways a few times and their services have always been exceptional. The one thing I never liked was Abu Dhabi Airport, as it was congested and filled with passengers, making it difficult to find personal space. However that perspective completely changed when I stepped into the newly constructed Terminal A a few days ago. I must say, it's absolutely amazing - vast in size, yet it feels like a VIP lounge accessible to all passengers. This airport has indeed set a new standard in airport excellence, offering travelers a seamless, comfortable, and technologically advanced experience. Great work and many congratulations.

      Can't agree more. The legroom the food quality the service the amenities the entertainment system. and price extremely competitive. I flew from Kul to Rome for less than $600.
      Emirates is another 1 of my fav.

      True, the older terminal was funny, but a bit too small.
      I don't fly often but transferred in the new Terminal A in the very first days! just 2 months ago now.
      Only complains so far are that it's a bit cold, also the last boarding back to Europe was a bit weird with a staff member continually calling the passengers by "boarding zone", which could be indicated on a display, instead of a loud, struggling employee, or have 4 distinct rows in front of the gate, and opening them one after the other.
      I always fly with Etihad when I have the choice, and was very happy this time again, I just hoped I could fly on their A350's (at some point we were supposed to have a A350 for one leg, but it reverted back to a 100% 787's travel)...

    Much needed imo, never been to the Abu Dhabi Airport but if it's anything like Dubai Airport this is much needed given how congested it becomes as a lot of the flights/transfers all happen around similar hours. In many ways become a victim of their success where capcity/quality can't keep up, hence new Dubai airport makes sense. Deffo need more investment in business class lounges though as like rest of the world these are packed to the brim these days!
