Etihad Airways

Etihad Airways is the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, operating from Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi. Rather than joining a global alliance, it relies on bilateral partnerships with other airlines, and its Etihad Guest programme handles earning and redeeming miles. For travellers heading to the US, Abu Dhabi offers US border preclearance, so immigration checks are completed before departure. Cabins include business and economy across the fleet, with first class and other premium options on selected aircraft such as the A380. Etihad suits one-stop trips connecting Europe, the Indian subcontinent, Asia and Australia via Abu Dhabi. Fare brands vary in baggage and change rules. Compare connection times, the aircraft assigned to each leg and whether Etihad Guest partners match your existing loyalty memberships.
