ETIHAD AIRWAYS ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW - BOEING 777-300ER

Date :   21 April 2013

Review by : P Bedson (Oman)

The other reviews here are right - basically the economy seat on the 777-300ER is both too narrow and close to the seat in front and the combination is deadly - if they took out about 20 seats and fixed either the pitch or the width it would be fine. A shame as the rest of the product - service, food, entertainment etc. is first class. Don't think I will be using them again in a hurry simply because of the seat.

Review by : K Macdonald (UK)

I'm pretty tall and it was pretty uncomfortable for an 8 hour journey. When the seats where reclined, there was no way that anyone (regardless of waist size) could have a meal, and that was confirmed by the Cabin Crew asking that you do not recline your seats during your meal.

Review by : C Leverington (UK)

Etihad 10 across seats in economy is a disaster. Cramped, with little to no space on board. Prepare to be squeezed into the smallest economy seat ever! I flew on Bangkok Airways 2 days later to Siem Reap and they had a lot more legroom in their standard economy seats on an A320. I'm going to be switching away from Etihad despite just becoming a silver card Etihad guest member - I cannot fly comfortably in economy (for reference I'm not over weight or tall!)

How do they get away with having 10 seats across in Economy cabin? Normally fly BA, Qantas or Singapore Airlines, but the bargain fare offered by Etihad out of UK attracted me. Now I know why they are cheap (cheaper than Emirates or Qatar as well) - the conditions are simply awful and the cabin is just cramped and claustrophobic. Anyone else that may be tempted by their bargain basement fares - please think about what you might get - its not good, and pay a little more for a better airline. They endlessly plug an award at Etihad and on close inspection it seems that Abu Dhabi oil dollars might be more important than merit!

Review by : G Morrison (Cyprus)

The legroom in this aircraft is a disgrace considering Etihad advertise comfort and show aircraft leg room in economy as roomy. This is not the case - I am not a tall person and found it to be extremely uncomfortable, especially on a near 14 hour flight from Sydney to Abu Dhabi. When the person in front puts their seat back, there is not enough space to see tv screen or have tray out for drinks or food, and in my case when seat in front was put back, with such force, my drink tipped over.

The Boeing 777 seats from Kathmandu to Abu Dhabi are so cramped. When the lady in front put her seat back I had to ask for her to kindly put it back up as I was so squashed. Etihad have obviously cut back on seat space as well as no drinks service. An awful, uncomfortable flight with crew who do not care.

ETIHAD AIRWAYS ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW - AIRBUS A340-600

Date :   1 January 2013

Review by : M Eggleton (UK)

I was sat in the rear half of Economy, in an exit seat which had extra legroom. Seat was comfy but the bottom was hard and had to sit on two cushions. These seats are thinner than normal seats. Good recline and good adjusting headrest. Middle 4 seats don't all have movable armrests, the middle one stays put so you can't lay down.

ETIHAD AIRWAYS BOEING 777 ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 6 September 2011 by Romy Silwal (USA)

Chicago to Abu Dhabi and then Abu Dhabi to Kathmandu. I have flown Qatar and Gulf Air many times but this Etihad Airlines has the worst seating available. I am petite and even for me it was very uncomfortable for the whole flight. Even though the airfare is cheap you will really suffer.

ETIHAD AIRWAYS Airbus A340 ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 1 August 2011 by Wayne Chen (USA)

While the upholstery in economy and beige colors are new, the seat pitch was terrible and way below expectations. The only saving grace was that the rest of the seats in my middle section (I moved to from a left side aisle seat with someone next to me) were empty. If I was not able to move, it would have been miserable.

ETIHAD AIRWAYS BOEING 777 ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 29 July 2011 by Jamie Sykes (UK)

The 3x4x3 lay out is just so bad it's untrue. If you have a full flight like I did on my AUH-BKK-AUH legs then get ready for pain and suffering!! The seats have so little width that you end up hanging out into the aisle with your back twisted. It also makes you fair game to me smashed into again and again with drinks/food carts. Avoid Etihad and any other airline using this B777 layout (that includes Emirates!).

ETIHAD AIRWAYS A340 ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 19 May 2011 by Robin Hicks (Norway)

Seat pitch was disappointing after all the boasting on the airline website - little or no better than European short haul carriers even with all the mags removed to try and maximise legroom. Agree that the footrest is always in the way, up or down.

ETIHAD AIRWAYS ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 3 March 2009 by Raymond Betts (UK)

Seat pitch feels more like a budget carrier e.g. Easy Jet with 29" pitch. My wife is vegetarian and booked the special meal on booking the tickets, but never received a special meal on the outbound flight. We even confirmed before we flew, but the cabin staff had no record. The flight from Bangkok to Abu was freezing! I don't normally complain, but my wife suffers from the cold. I had 3 Italian guys sat opposite me wearing fleeces and woolly hats! Nothing was ever done by the cabin staff even after asking 3 times. Book with another airline and save yourself the hassle!

ETIHAD AIRWAYS ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 11 November 2008 by Paul Thomas (UK)

Have flown Etihad many times and consider seats adequate or better. They should do away with footrests as they take up room for long legged passengers like myself, even when not in use.
