A warning to those of you travelling Etihad from Gatwick...last couple of months because of delivery delays for their new aircraft and new routes started, they have been using a wet-leased old Airbus from Iberworld (Spanish) to do the Gatwick - Abu Dhabi sector....and it is sh@t.

I've had the misfortune to fly on it a few times. It's laid out for package holiday type flights. Seat cushions are uncomfortable....poor leg room and no IFE in the seatbacks :-( I hope by the time you get to fly they will be using their own aircraft again.

It's QATAR for me.
