    Abu Dhabi Terminal A - Etihad and other lounges

    We found the business lounge to be super overcrowded , and toilet facilities really inadequate for the number of people crowded in. From our first look at it , think the old one was superior space and food wise . Etihad are really making the choice to fly with another carrier easier !!

    Ive been a long term user of this card, and loved that I could use overseas with no fees . Now frantically looking for new credit card before our next trip (leaving mid june), but as self funded retirees , I hate the financial hoops that we have to go through to get cards. Anyone know a senior...

    Lounge says boarding but gate still closed

    I agree , this has happened to us frequently . Except in Perth where we left lounge on go to gate notification , as it’s always the most far away gate that Melbourne departure uses. only to get to gate and told to hurry as was closing!

    Adding etihad guest account to virgin flight

    Another update on this problem. Am at airport today to check in for virgin flight. Boarding pass shows etihad guest, but no mention of gold status, which means hassles with priority boarding and lounge access . Virgin still can’t do anything to change. Just hope points allocate without to much...

    Recommended time allowance: FRA airport arrival to IC train departure

    I’m pretty sure DB has changed from free seat reservation in first to having to pay a fee now. But totally worth it to have an allocated seat. I always try to choose one that is near luggage storage

    Adding etihad guest account to virgin flight

    Yep tried that one too Thankyou, I hoped that I would be able to retro claim . Just annoying that it’s not linked to actual ticket. I think that if I checkin online that my luggage won’t be marked as priority . But it’s good to confirm my thought that it’s an error with virgin and not my account
