We recently booked our Etihad flights for October to Bangkok, via Abu Dhabi. At a cost of £420 return, they were considerably cheaper than the likes of British Airways, Qatar Airways and Thai and with a stopover, you can’t go wrong!

The routing is a bit wierd though. We’re flying out of Heathrow and arriving back into Gatwick, but I’m happy with that if it means we’re getting 3 trips on the amazing looking 777-300ER. Their inflight entertainment and mood lighting in economy looks especially fun. We opted for this routing anyway just so we got an extra 12 hours in Thailand by not flying into Heathrow!

Etihad is an airline which has really surprised me. They seemed to have sprung out of nowhere and already have a massive fleet, consisting of very modern aircraft, ranging from A330s to A340s and 777-300ERs, too. And not only that, but they are also taking deliveries of the A380 as well! All that in 2 years? Brilliant!

Good luck to them! 🙂
