Came back last week after 3 weeks in Phils with Etihad. Its the first time i've been with them as normally i prefer Cathay or Singapore. But i must say that they were pretty good. Its a harder flight in terms of stress i felt. I was a 7 hour then a 9. I prefer a long 12 hour then a 2 or 3.
You definately notice the difference in cabin crew quality. Even though they were plesent, there was still an edge of rudeness about them. They were mainly eastern european, english or asian. But nowhere near as professional as the Asian airlines.
But anyway, they get you to your destination still give you beer when you ask and were ontime. The flight timings are good also.
So next time I'll see..
