While Etihad's prices are often quite low, so is the quality of their product. They didn't just save money by reducing the quality of the meals, but also by simply reducing the size of the meals altogether!

No, Qatar is garbage when I flew on their A330, the crew did not care and the legroom was disappointing. Etihad is now retiring their 777s and their new 787s have lot nicer interiors and since Etihad now has fully resumed, the meals are also excellent.

If this is the current standard of Etihad in its economy class, I realize that it has dropped a lot: in 2014 I traveled from Guarulhos to Abu-Dhabi and Bangkog-Abu-Dhabi and I remember very well that the cutlery was made of stainless steel and the glasses were made of glass! Also the presentation of the lunch tray (and other meals) was more abundant.

the meal size perhaps depends on the catering service at the departure airport. I used Etihad some months ago from Jakarta-Abu dhabi-Paris, and they served a big meal.

I flew for Etihad years ago (I’ve actually flown that 777 (ETO) and did the LAX route countless times). I was always quite proud of the product, and the professionalism of our cabin crew. Those flights are very tiring for all the crew, and the rest they get is less than you would suspect for such a long flight. I have heard there have been many changes to the service levels, I’m sorry to hear that it doesn’t meet expectations.

I have never flown with Etihad but have flown with Emirates many times, on the San Francisco Dubai Mumbai route and I vouch for Emirates. It never disappoints. The planes are always the new Airbus A 380 which are quieter. And more to the point, Emirates serve three full meals during a sixteen hour flight to Dubai, without charging extra. The only inconvenience is the near 5pm departure time from SFO and near 5am from Mumbai. But the rest is flawless. On my last flight I got a free upgrade to Business class and it was like heaven.

And have nice time enjoying Business class food. Yes they can bring anything anywhere. And if you are lucky, you may cross path with cabin crew head. PS: From my experiences.

I flew Etihad's A340-600 from KWI to AUH back in 2008 when I was in the military on combat leave, and it was a great experience. It was a free for all, and I had an entire row to myself across the entire cabin (20% load factor) I thought at the time that an A321 would've made a lot more sense for that particular flight, but it seems that wastefulness caught up to them eventually.

Having used both Emirates & Qatar on long haul recently I've often wondered about Etihad. Tbf, based on this I'll not be using them anytime soon. It didn't look *terrible*, just very, very basic for long haul on a middle eastern carrier. I'd say in Economy Gulf & Oman have overtaken them in terms of quality & service lately?
