Worth knowing

Before you fly Etihad Airways

Etihad flies via Abu Dhabi (AUH). High-standard service and new aircraft; Abu Dhabi is quieter and easier to connect through than Dubai. Not in an alliance, but with many partnerships.

Transit passengers staying airside in Abu Dhabi don't need a visa. Plan 90 minutes for a connection.
