Etihad Airways has a pretty solid reputation as an airline, especially if flying in business or first class. Even in coach, it is known to be fairly decent. I had some nice flights on my way to South Africa (blog posts to follow). But be warned, sometimes the flights are Jet Airways flights, on Jet … Read More
