Flights to Beirut (BEY)

Pros: Q Suite is top-of-line business class product

Cons:

Pros: Staff, service,

Cons: Legroom, seat comfort, very long flight

Pros: courteous service and a clean modern airplane

Cons: The sound system was inadequate on the TV and the headsets were uncomfortable. The queue at the check-in needs to be better controlled, it was a bit chaotic.

Pros: Food was good, and the crew were very patient and polite - went out of their way to make us comfortable.

Cons: The aircraft seemed to be really old. The entertainment system on the seat I was allotted did not work, and I had to change seats. In the new seat, the entertainment system worked, but the seat didn't recline, and I had to change seats again - from an initially allotted aisle seat, to a middle seat. Also, the food service time was weird - we got a full lunch about an hour before we landed, which didn't make sense, and had to wait almost 5 - 6 hours between brunch and our next meal - a movie snack. Most passengers were famished by the time the lunch was served. Also, why was there no wifi?

Pros: On time flight

Cons: There are a number of things that Etihad do that just degrade the quality and experience of the flight and I probably wouldn’t fly with them again as a result. I’ve listed these below: 1) Entertainment system is poorly appointed and travel in two seperate months found that little had been refreshed on the in flight programs. 2) The entertainment system is deactivated until the seat belt sign is turned off, and is deactivated again about 30 minutes prior to landing. 3) You practically have to cut off your arm to get some water. I would always bring my own water on the flight, but Australian regulations prevent more than 100mls being carried on flight. 4) The service is inconsistent, some staff are just downright rude and others are incredibly friendly. The time waiting after pressing the call bell is excessive and in one case my drink never arrived. 5) Unlike other airlines, they don’t give you a “menu” to chose from for the inflight meal. Instead they just come around asking “Chicken, Lamb or vegetarian”, and lack any real understanding of what’s actually in the food. 6) When you order a drink, they open the can pour some into a cup but don’t give you the remainder in the can. 7) The inflight wifi is expensive. 19.95 USD for 180mb puts them at one of the most expensive. Overall, I would have expected a bit more from an airline such as Etihad.

Cons: My Baggiage is extremely damaged which is so disgusting and there is no way to report it

Pros: I was not put on the plane because they said my seat did not existed! I had purchased my ticket 3 months prior to departure and they said I did not have a seat on the plane due to overbooking. They clearly gave my seat away to someone else and this is not acceptable.

Cons: Ethiad was not helpful at all and did not provide any same day help. They’re customer service was absolutely terrible.

Pros: Good service

Cons: My bags came last even having priority labels

Pros: The fact that I was not able to fly due to ethiad trying to make extra money was something I will Never forget

Cons: No airline has ever treated me this poorly. I hope this never happens ever again to anyone

Pros: Seats are not too tight. Professional crew. Ventilation and overall aircraft comfort was good.

Cons: Food can be better.

Pros: Well, it got me from Point A to Point B I guess

Cons: You cannot book seats in advance which is fine but one would expect that if you have 3 seats on one reservation, you would at least be seated together - nope 3 window seats all over the plane. Boarding was delayed for no reason. Bags took (no exaggeration) about 1.5 hours to come. And it is a hot mess with no carts

Cons: My seat (8d) would not recline and the hand rest would not go up.

Pros: More leg room, easy boarding and comfortable flight in economy

Cons: NA

Pros: Staff, service,

Cons: too long flight

Cons: My seat (8d) would not recline and the hand rest would not go up.

Pros: Nothing.

Cons: Too little space for carry on compartments. Seats are too tight and tiny, very uncomfortable, staff not interacting or smiling, food was disgusting and tasteless, the aircraft seemed old and was so incredibly noisy the whole trip, and the ventilation was too bad the smell was just old and rusty.

Pros: On time flight

Pros: courteous service and a clean modern airplane

Cons: The sound system was inadequate on the TV and the headsets were uncomfortable. The queue at the check-in needs to be better controlled, it was a bit chaotic.

Pros: Excellent service with attention to detail

Cons: lay-flat seats fairly uncomfortable in the lay-flat position (does not compare to the Q Suite used on newer aircraft) Entertainment system a bit dated, but decent selection

Pros: Food was good, and the crew were very patient and polite - went out of their way to make us comfortable.

Cons: The aircraft seemed to be really old. The entertainment system on the seat I was allotted did not work, and I had to change seats.

Cons: Ethiad was not helpful at all and did not provide any same day help. They’re customer service was absolutely terrible.

Cons: Need more leg room even for regular economy seating

Pros: Planes were good with good leg room

Cons: For Asian Veg Meal, they served Paneer for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The spacing between meals was quite large. Entertainment options for adults and kids were quite limited.

Pros: Seats are not too tight. Professional crew. Ventilation and overall aircraft comfort was good.

Cons: Food can be better.

Pros: I flew economy Melbourne > Abu Dhabi and then Abu Dhabi to Melbourne. The first leg of the flight was great, the flight wasn’t full and I had a whole row to myself. The flight attendant even gave me some tips to ensure nobody sat there. This flight was on an A380 so the plane was large and it felt spacious.
