Frank DenbowOctober 12, 2015If you are flying to the US, get there 3 hours early, as they cut it off at 2 hours. If you only have carry ons maybe you can argue your way into it
kim foxJanuary 26, 2020Make sure that you get the eye scan/e-registration BEFORE heading to passport control. There is no signage that will tell you to do it first.
LamisMarch 26, 2016I just booked for the first time through #Etihadairways came to checkin my bagage only to be told that I should've checked in before. The flight is fully booked I might wait until the next@11 pm!!
As crew for Etihad airways I see a lot of airports but Abu Dhabi is the best organized one.... Free wifi... Enough employees, clean
You might find it complex to actually find the taxi stands - after you exit arrivals turn left and take the lift/escalator down and straight through the tunnel. There you go!
Max Blue 🚴🍔April 14, 2015Be aware that there is a big security line before you can even proceed to the checkin counters. Don't even think about using your phone near immigration/security if you want to leave on time.
Naoki FerrioDecember 17, 2015A descent place to transit. The airport has the standard facilities. It was warm and the waiting room has couches also.
Invisible ManOctober 5, 2014Deserts are approx 25-35 dirhams regardless of where you are buying. Indian food is 40 - ish per dish. Pizza slice is 25 riyals. Burger King is the cheapest
James HueyOctober 30, 2023This airport is chaotic. Be prepared for long walks ( unless you are very lucky). And the Etihad Business lounge is a power outlet desert, if you wish to use your laptop.
Riaz ShahFebruary 22, 2013Complimentary free parking for 7 days with an Etihad ticket. Wonderful promotion! Hope I don't get charged when I come back :)
If you have a carry on more than 7 kg go ahead and have it check-in ! 💼
Prashanth PsDecember 6, 2014My flight got delayed by 24 hours because of bad weather. Airlines were kind enough to provide free sleeping pod, 4 meal/breakfast coupons.
KiluanDolphinSeptember 9, 2012distance from ur arrival gate to ur departure can be quite longway. if u r like 2 hrs away to next flight, better start going to deprtr. gate and do last minute shopping or coffe around it.
Omur GurkanNovember 11, 2016In terminal 1, you can find free wifi, free computers to use and comfortable leaning chairs.
DomenicoSeptember 5, 2013I will come back to my sweet home,but I will keep in my heart this amazing holiday that I sent in Abu Dhabi!
Sue GeorgeMarch 16, 2018Massive airport make sure you can walk approximately a mile in walking with all luggage to customs then on to connecting flight
JJanuary 26, 2016The "inverse funnel dome" area can get very crowded very quickly - grab a seat when you still can
John KuanJune 1, 2015Free showers are the BEST. But bring your own toiletries or expect to pay Emrati prices for soap at Boots.
AbdulrahmanJune 7, 2014Very nice waiting area in the arrival terminal..... plenty of waiting chairs , coffee shops, shops,and gold machines
Paul FarrellSeptember 28, 2014Etihad lounge has moved to gate 35. Horrific lighting and terrible food so head straight to the Six Senses spa. Shower, massage will compensate for the asylum chic lighting style.
Finella Jianna VillaluzJanuary 17, 2023Great interiors but might need more sleeping lounges. Capsule hotels is a great idea!
Nazanin ChamaniSeptember 5, 2014A luxurious airport but small elevators make it annoying. First class and business class lounges for Etihad flight is very luxurious
Tavon .March 10, 2017Good airport with free wifi. Transfer terminal 3 can get really backed up during peak flight arrivals.
Goutham GaneshMay 7, 2017Terminal 1 - G10 - Etihad! Cool shops, not overpriced..crowded but nicely managed.. Yet again Mcd saved my life 😂
Business class lounge is small, but offers everything you need. Food is really good.
Talal BusaidiAugust 29, 2014If you are stopping here, there is high chance you are using Etihad airways and your bag will be lost! BE ALERTED, BE VERY ALERTD
Dony PeterAugust 28, 2014The toilets here tend to get pretty crowded and there's a long queue. Use the toilets near the gates where you exit the aircraft. They generally are less crowded.
New terminal is now open. Completely different experience compared to the old one!
Free wifi and good coffee places where you can charge your devices :D
David HuFebruary 19, 2014If you're staying in Abu Dhabi for a period of time, keep in mind the duty free shop here is probably the last chance you'll get to buy liquor not at a hotel bar.
Anya KorzunJanuary 18, 2015good navigation and plenty of facilities - pleasant stay during transfer flight
Avoid Sunday morning flights except if you are travelling business or you are an Etihad Guest program silver/gold member ... also do online check in and avoid lackage
- David HuFebruary 20, 2014Flying back to the US? Be prepared for lines. You go through 2 security checks and actually go through US immigration & customs in UAE itself, taking a long time due to the many non-citizens flying
Nitch UaudomMay 10, 2014I really expect to see more choices of coffee shop here. They do expanding so, hope to see more later on.
Emily Chiew December 25, 2015The Etihad airway stewardess will never smile at you if you are Asian and specifically if you are a Asian lady with aged.
AhmadSeptember 22, 2012Quick procedures, but for the very first time in UAE, the passport-exit-issuer (or whatever that would be) made raciest comments about me!
Jiro SorianoApril 3, 2015Pretty good airport, lots of shopping, free WiFi, not great customer service from the customer desk though. Overall good environment.
Nasir JarallaAugust 22, 2014Friendly and fast service. Free wifi. Duty free is great, Terminal 3 is better for airport shopping.
People from Etihad are really helpful. My friend lost his passport and they really made an effort to find it. We found it at customs.
- Floris van EckApril 16, 2015Don't forget to login to the free wifi which is really stable and fast actually.
