Etihad gets even better!

Stinicker

Just to alert fellow travellers, Etihad have recently increased their economy class baggage allowance from 20kgs to 30kgs and will be flying their Boeing 777-300ER into Dublin starting in July 2013.

This will see an extra 900 seats a week and this hopefully lead to lower fares for Irish travellers.

The same airplane yes but the Etihad Boeing 777 seating configuration of (3-3-3) is far roomier and more spacious than Emirates (3-4-3) which is shockingly cramped. I prefer Abu Dhabi airport myself as it is less busy and less commercialised than Dubai and perfect for a short 2-3hr hassle free layover. The airport in Dubai is a sprawling monstrosity with too many people and the queue for to go through Security can be horrendous. I've flown on Etihad in 2011 and Emirates this past year and with these recent improvements by Etihad I'd go with them each time unless Emirates were far cheaper.
