Any comments on the differences you've seen among the three GCC airlines - Etihad Airways, Emirates, and Qatar Airways? Which ones offer the best services including check-in, inflight, and arrival? Or are they all about equal? Thanks.

Hi,

 

Here, I have to say QR offers the best service, because it's direct flights. It make journeys much easier. When you are flying 14 hr, the thing you want most is to save those extra 4 hr connection time.

Hmmm...

That's really rude!

...and yes, it is kinda ironic, but I'm not seeing the funny side at the moment!

And from my other reply whoami ... with the 'baby face' like you ... all the cabin crews  will prepare to do anything for you.

from my other reply

 

I always have a great flight with Qatar Airways. Their staff is so friendly and attentive.

 

I remember seeing this one man named Jamal being so friendly with a family and their child and going out of his way to make the child smile.

 

I've been on alot of Airlines, from my experience it's QA #1 then Virgin.

I feel that Emirates is over rated. I even had an argument once with one of the staff when I had a small bit of GLASS in my water. (which they denied until I said, fine, YOU drink it)

 

Trust me, QA don't treat me any differently because I don't wear a thobe and I don't look like your typical Qatari. I've yet to have a bad experience so far. The airlines I've been on are

British Airways

Air France (WORSE AIRLINE IN THE WORLD!)

Virgin

Singapore

Swiss

Emirates

Etihad

Gulf Air

QA

Cathay Pacific

EasyJet

Alexa, u sound upset with me, thats why u are  bringing those old discussions back. Why don’t u understand may be I wanted to get my post noticed, so just did some shouting.

I tried the following:

 

- Gulf Air

-Kuwait Airways

- Qatar Airways

- Philippine Airlines

- British Airways

- Emirates

- Cathay Pacific

- Cebu Pacific

 

Among all, the best is Emirates! nothing more nothing less!, in fact ever since i tried emirates, i never flew with any other anymore (unless its unavoidable, business and of course paid by the company), and now im a silver member!

As per Etihad, unencouraging feeback from my friends, and Abu Dhabi airport they said, sucks!

emirates for the food and entertainmant, but the staff is arrogantmostely westerners and east europeans, bad mannersl lack grace . qatar airways is the second, decent staff mostly from philipines, india and napal. but the airline treat economy class passengers as bonded labors, very bad food,never fresh, no newspaper. eithihad is good but connectivity is poor. u failed to mention the best, Air Arabia
