I fly on Etihad almost every year. This time we flew from Hong Kong to Muscat via Abu Dhabi. The flight from HK to AD was very nice! The flight was not full, so the staff allowed us to change our seats and spread out. The food was very nice, except for the shawarma sandwich (it wasn't real!).

Entertainment system has a lot of movies and fun games to play. I was not bored at any time during the flight.

As for the AD-Muscat leg, the flight was short but still enjoyable. Only takes an hour to fly. Good for a short nap. Legroom was fine and the snack served was fine.

As a gold member this flight was not Etihad standard. The crew was quite uninterested in the passengers. I even had to tell them that they forgot the bread and water on my dinner.
Flight was smooth and on time.

I know I went first class, but it was one of those bucket list things to do. On a couple of hours stop over in Dubai, 1st class lounge and all, shower, massage, nails, 1st class food and this was on land. !! Service on board was OUTSTANDING, . Cleanliness, attentive to detail was superb. Captain and co pilot made sure we were well in formed.
If ever you can " Go First" nice feeling taking a left turn when getting to your seat !!!!

They lost my luggage on the way over which was annoying for 1 day, registering the loss was impossible as the ref number given to me would not enter into the lost baggage section.
On the return they only checked my luggage into Paris (only found that out in Paris) so it's gone missing again. At Abu Dhubai it took 55 minutes to get off the plane after it had landed then waited 20 mins in a stifling hot stairwell waiting for the bus.
At CDG in Paris they for forgot to get the bus to take us to the plane so we waited again for the bus without any info coming from the desk.

Overnight flight, no nightwear available. Crew very professional, but did find you needed to ask for drinks and snacks. Flight back was a daytime flight and no amenity packs were given. Overall a pleasant experience.
