Default has anyone flown with Etihad?

I am pricing up flights for trip back to UK, and these are coming up with pretty good price, but I haven't heard of them or know anything about this airline. Has anyone on here flown with them and have good or bad things to say? Thanks

Flown with them a few times and found them typical UAE airline, which means they are very good - enjoy your flight

Thanks Woodlea. Now i've been reading reviews that have worried me, people who travelled business or first were rating etihad like 8+ out of 10, whilst people in economy were slating them and rating 2-3 out of 10 Things like the seats being hard and armrest between seats not moving and in flight entertainment not working etc. Etihad website makes them sound like a decent airline... but the reviews on skytrax make me worry!

I was told all sorts of horror stories about Korean Air, but have flown with them several times and the trips have all been great. Maybe it's what people are used to versus a different company?
(Does that even make sense?)

yes j19fmm it makes sense! I have been told from a friend on facebook that her other half has used them plenty of times & they have always been 'fine'... however not quite Emirates standards. Sounds ok & bearable anyway. Think we will be booking flights very shortly. Excited much!!!

I spoke to a lady yesterday who had just flown here from Australia to stay with her mother for a month. She used Etihad and said that they were 'good'. I've not heard of them myself until now.
