Characteristics And Qualities Of Etihad Air Carriers Airlines

By Ferdinand Teriyaki Xavier


UAE or United Arab Emirates is the home base of Etihad Airways, although this airline goes much further than the Middle East. This airline actually has destination points in over 40 different countries making it one of the largest luxury airlines in the world. This article will present many interesting tips that you should know about Etihad Airways, especially if you like to travel.

One of the most notable conveniences of Etihad Airways is the fact that customers get access to Etihad Chauffeur, a limo service designed especially for their clients. When you book a Diamond First Class or Pearl Business Class flight with Etihad, you'll receive door-to-door limousine service in more than a dozen cities around the world. Instead of planning your trip and thinking about how you're going to get from room to room, this limo service eliminates your need to be worried about this aspect of your journey. At an additional charge, you may extend this limousine service and make use of it during your stay in a city where it's operating. To ensure availability, call in advance giving the company at least 24 hours notice to make sure that they have a limo for you.

If you want to know more about an airline, you should look at their website, but you should also consider objective reviews and ratings. One place worth checking for this is Skytrax, the leading online rating service of airlines. Coming in at 4/5 stars, Etihad Airways rates fairly high on the Skytrax website. Most airlines are in the two to three star range.

There are visa requirements that could apply to you when you travel in foreign countries like the UAE, so you need to understand that. If you are from the United States you can enter the UAE without needing a visa beforehand, and also those from other Western nations, like Australia, and the UK. You can get a 30 day visa once you arrive in the country, as long as your passport is valid and won't expire for six months. When you are unaware of your status when flying to another country, such as on Etihad, then you should find the requirement, with a phone call, or looking at their website.

A lot of attention has been given to Etihad Airlines, which is amazing considering how old the company actually is. It has won many awards for excellence, something that is unusual for a company that is only eight years old. Etihad Airways is definitely a great airline to fly on, however you should find out more information for yourself to see if it fits your needs by checking with your travel agent or looking on the Internet.

Wherever you go, getting some great flight tickets is very important. Check with your travel agent to find out more.
