Etihad Airways

This is a fairly new airline and I used them for the first time this trip.I specifically wanted a layover in Abu Dhabi as its nice to leave the plane for 1hr,stretch the legs and get the cheap duty free.Also I was staying over for a couple of days on my return.
The flight left on time on all four planes,food for economy was excellent,the planes are new Airbus A340 and 330's and they have a A380 ready to go non stop from NY to BKK soon (17hr flight) The cabin crew are very efficient,they only employ age26 and under BTW(no washed out BA hags here) and the luggage was transferred OK every time.Check-in was very quick with no queue at any airport used LGW/AUH/BKK.
I paid £560 a ticket which was quite high, I know but the stopover cost an extra £80.They fly from UK Heathrow and Gatwick every day(alternate) and I thoroughly recommend them as another alternative.IMO they will be ahead of Singapore Airways within 2yrs for customer satisfaction.
I got my flight through www.ebookers.com
