I wish I'd decided to switch from TG earlier... Etihad was going to be my first choice, but their pricing and destinations seem to make the uber-popular and so I couldn't get any flight confirmations between now and the end of the year. Had I known they were going to increase flights, I might have hung on a little longer!

I have met a number of people who work for Etihad on the cargo side of things (for my job) and they're a real sharp bunch of people - this airline has the potential to eclipse Qatar, and give Emirates a good run for their money. I'm pleased for them that they're expanding so quickly.
