Hi Flying Mermaid

I'm hoping my first experience with Etihad is a good one. Flew BA First a few months back and it was nothing short of embarassing. Clapped out 747 was dirty, service was non existant on the leg over and only slightly better on the way back. Food order mixed up or unavailable on all legs. Ran out of sleeper suits, IFE didnt work, overhead reading light blew 30 minutes in to flight and bags came out last at Heathrow. Only saving grace was the Qantas First lounge at Sydney Airport.

If Etihad is a positive experience then I'll be switching to them for my UK flights even if they charge more. Will let you know once I arrive in the UK in a few weeks.
