Flights with Ethiad Airways
Can anyone tell me the flight details for Manchester to Brisbane on Ethiad Airways?
My parents are coming out but don't understand the flight times. From what I can gather, it is this:
Depart Manchester 20:20pm 30-10-08 arrive Abu Dhabi 7:20am 31-10-08
Depart Abu Dhabi 10:05am 31-10-08 arrive Brisbane 8:50am 1-11-08
The problem is on the second flight, where it seems to take an age? They think they stop at singapore but don't get off, if this is the case, are they sat on the tarmac in singapore for 5 hours +

No I think you get off the plane while it refuels but becuase it's the same plane (and flight number) it shows up as a single journey.

Re: Flights with Ethiad Airways
Hi, flew with Etihad earlier in the year. There are 3 sectors; Lon/Abu Dhabi; Ab/Singapore; Sin/Aus. each sector approx 7hours and you disembark after each sector. We found them adequate, but Abu Dhabi airport is very cramped and crowded. Food was ok, 3 choices for each main, which included veg option. We were a bit hungry ex Brisbane though.
Opt to check in on line, saves queueing and even though the allowance is a generous 30kgs each, I am fairly sure we were over and nothing was said.
