This was our first holiday booked with Etihad holidays.

This was our first holiday booked with Etihad and it definitely will not be our last. Everything was perfect from start to finish.
The initial booking via website was so easy and straightforward. The communication leading up to our holiday was exemplary.
Our holiday experience far exceeded our expectations.
The flights , both outbound and inbound were brilliant. Our hotel accommodation was first class. Everything about our experience was amazing.
Both my partner and I would like say a special thank you to Etihad holidays for providing us with such an amazing time.

Equal Treatment - Some updating required

The one airline that I find treats all guest equally irrrespective of cabin class.

I have experience Economy & Business so can report with real experience. However the removal of extra space forward cabin on the A380 was a shame and a Premuim class cabin I am sure would be welcomed.

Some economy seats are now tired with less support.

Overall a disappointing and stressful experience

There was significant lack of communication with the holidays team, and we had to contact them about the most basic things. The airplane tickets were late to be issued, and we had to email twice about it. Transport from airport to hotel was never communicated to us despite us asking, which created significant confusion and stress at the airport(this was despite us asking through multiple emails). We will choose a different provider next time. I do not recommend Etihad holidays, overall a disappointing and stressful experience.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry for the disappointing communication and the stress you experienced when trying to obtain your flight tickets and airport transfer details. We understand how frustrating it was to have to follow up repeatedly for essential information.

We take your feedback seriously. We will arrange for a member of our service team to contact you directly to discuss your experience and review what happened.

Late pick up for flight home..

I arranged for a pick up at my hotel for the return journey to the airport for 9am.
I asked if this was an issue and was assured it was no problem. At 9.40 on the day of my flight home there was no sign of the pick up vehicle. I then got an uber to the airport and I believe the pick up arrived at 9.45.
Flights were delayed on both Journey’s also.

Extremely disappointing experience with…

Extremely disappointing experience with Etihad Holidays

We booked our honeymoon through Etihad Holidays, paying around £3,200, and unfortunately a major flight disruption caused us to lose a substantial part of our first day.

Our Etihad flight was affected by a technical issue, resulting in around 3 hours stuck on the aircraft, followed by a lengthy wait for accommodation. We eventually reached the hotel at around 4am the next day , and our subsequent rebooking meant losing a significant part of the following day of our honeymoon.

What has been most disappointing is how Etihad Holidays handled the situation afterwards. Despite the disruption occurring during our honeymoon and the significant amount we paid for the holiday, the only compensation/goodwill gesture offered by Etihad Holidays was TeamLab tickets which have less than £30 value .

Whilst we appreciate the gesture, we found this completely inadequate given the circumstances. Losing a significant portion of a £3,200 honeymoon cannot reasonably be addressed with attraction tickets.

We expected much better customer care and a meaningful goodwill gesture, such as compensation, a future holiday credit, additional accommodation or assistance towards replacing the lost honeymoon experience.

Technical problems can happen, but how a company looks after its customers afterwards really matters. Unfortunately, Etihad Holidays fell well short of our expectations. We are extremely disappointed and would think twice before booking another important holiday with them

Would recommended departures not arrival

The flight on the way out was brilliant , great customer service so easy with the private transfer and a wonderful hotel. But on the way back mine and my girlfriends screen did not work and so they gave us a free wifi vouchers which did not work either so had no screen for the intire fligh. The cabin crew were moody and so unhelpful with very poor customer service.

Just returned back from a lovely relaxing 7 days in Abu Dhabi with my 13 year old son! Although great time I do have a couple minor winges but they didn’t detract from a good time we had!
Firstly when you book a holiday with a board basis of all inclusive ultra I would expect most things at the hotel to be available but this was not the case! Many items were not included and items on the menu in the à la carte menu had supplements
Also we were allowed to use any other ihg hotel on the complex which was a nice touch but there offerings were all different as well! Ironically we found ourselves being treated better in the hotels we weren’t staying at 😂😂

Dear Mr Tucker,

Thank you for your review. We’re pleased you and your son enjoyed a lovely, relaxing week in Abu Dhabi.

We’re sorry some Ultra All Inclusive options and à la carte supplements did not meet your expectations, and that you noticed differences in service between the hotels. We take your feedback seriously and appreciate you sharing these details.

We hope to welcome you both back for another enjoyable holiday.
