We booked to fly to Abu Dhabi in April on the basis of the COVID policy that we could either get a credit or change our flight if COVID prevented us travelling. There was no mention on the website that we would need to pay the fare difference (within the same class of travel) and when we tried to rebook we were told there were no available options for the entire month of October and we would need to pay a GBP12k fare difference. Obviously if they had been more upfront at the outset we would never have booked. Very disappointing way for an airline to behave - they could easily have accommodated us on the replacement flights and refusing to give a refund and offer an Etihad credit instead is pointless if we cant buy a flight with the credit. Unhelpful and dishonest. Contrast with easyjet and BA who (although reluctantly) both honored their commitments to refund. Shame on Etihad.

Etihad cancelled my flight from Dammam to delhi scheduled for March 15 2020. I had booked the flight from Bravofly, Last-minute booking.
Now after rigorous follow ups out of 350 euros I have only been credited 65 euros.
And the lame reason they have given me is tha it's Etihad refund policy. Either it's a lie and are demeaning Etihads name

I had booked 4 (2adult+2toddler) tickets from Toronto to Mumbai in Feb 2020.
As we all know all the flight were cancelled. In spite of calling etihad multiple times they are not refunding the full amount , for 4 tickets they are charging 1600$ cancellation fee..

I am not planning to travel with my kids till everything settles down , it is risking the safety of my kids who were pre-maturely born and is least recommended to travel in such condition

The only earning member in my family is my husband, It is soo difficult for us in this situation we can not afford losing 1600$ as cancellation fees..

You should give full refund to your customers who trusted you.

MOST PATHETIC SERVICE AND RULES!!!

My flight was 8.40 and I was standing in queue since 7.15, there was not a single announcement made that check-in is being closed. I was there with a toddler waiting for my turn like a good citizen, only to show up at counter to be told that CHECK-IN is closed. Mind you at that time it wS only 7.40, the staff member just stared at me and wasted more of my time then I was hurried to another counter that person also wasted my time I was standing and requesting them to please board me since there is still more then 50 mins to fly!!! All to hear no they can’t.

They even agreed there wasn’t even a single announcement that check in being closed.

EXTREMELY RUDE, PATHETIC AND MEAN STAFF WITH 0% COURTESY TOWARDS GUEST! ONE MEMBER HAD AUDACITY TO TELL ME THAT “MAYBE I WAS HABITUAL OF BEING LATE??????!!!!”

Was a loyal customer & gold member but this is my last time flying. Just money making scam to cancel people booking, marking them as no show and again charging full fee to re-book.

WHAT A SHMAE!!! PATHETIC!

I’m a veteran of travel with Etihad. I have been flying with it for many years now, never faced real issues other than minor issues where their system for some reason puts my full name as a last name and leaves the first name space empty. It was something minor I didn’t mind it, was a bit troublesome while going to USA. I kept traveling with it, wasn’t a major issue. But my last travel with it, (first time after covid 19) was just extremely disappointing.

First thing is, I was supposed to be a gold class member but they couldn’t find my Etihad number on the system. My miles which I collected might have expired but the tear system reset back to basic? It’s fine let’s continue a small issue will not deter me, I don’t need the lounge access, alright I pick Etihad usually because it’s spacious and comfortable in economy it’s a bit more money to spend than flying with air Arabia or those commercial airlines but I will pay a little extra for the comfort, but sad to see I got on a plane similar if not smaller seating arrangement than Air Arabia or fly Dubai. So my extra price was not set on comfort, it was more uncomfortable. maybe the extra price was for the food, they always have awesome snacks and good food right? I mean at least that. No you haven’t guessed correctly, everyone gets a bag with small water, a paratha chicken sandwich which tasted horrible btw and a very cold cheese sandwich which quite literally felt and tasted like eating plastic. Is that for safety? Like people can eat those sandwiches through the mask? I mean, what difference would it be from eating regular food or a horrible sandwiches in both cases you would have to put your mask down anyways to be able to eat. Okay sure. It’s not the same as before, it’s different. The plane is kind of empty and they want to save some money, I get it.

Getting back to UAE, I don’t mind if it was passenger boarding bridge or a bus that take you to the airplane but sure they parked away so maybe a bus would be fine this time. Well I got onto the bus and I was expecting that because of Covid restrictions they will be more organized and separate people into different busses. But no, they put everyone in the plane in one bus, stacked breaths of more than 45 adult passenger and many children in a standing bus. Breaths stacked every mask 10 cm away from the next mask. So basically I’ve been keeping my self safe and away from people just to end up facing the next person face to face breathing their air. It wouldn’t have been a major issue if we divided the people into more busses.

Saying all of this I still would travel with it, maybe I’m just used to traveling with Etihad but if I get the airline voting system again I’m not voting for Etihad anymore. Maybe one vote wouldn’t make the difference to them but I’m really disappointed with their performance. They have an amazing infrastructure but they don’t pay attention to details anymore they are not what Etihad stood for anymore. This is no more Etihad airline that we used to know and love. It’s no longer the presentation of luxury and comfort that it stood for.
