14: VIDEO TAKEN AT 11.51 AM LOCAL TIME, 30/01/09. SEE ABU DHABI RUNWAY CLEARLY ON FINAL APPROACH THROUGH THE INFLIGHT CAMERA? NO SIGN OF THE FOG WHICH THE PILOT MENTIONED AN HOUR OR SO EARLIER AND JUST BEFORE TAKE OFF. THIS IS MEANT TO HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR AT LEAST 11 HOURS WITHOUT MUCH IMPROVEMENT . . . VERY STRANGE. I ALSO LOOKED OUT OF THE WINDOWS AND NO SIGN OF FOG EVEN ON THE HORIZON (NOT ON TAKE OFF NOR DURING THE FLIGHT, NOR ON LANDING) ... IS ANYTHING THE ETIHAD STAFF SAY ACCURATE?
THEY DO SEEM TO EXCEL IN TRYING TO COVER THERE OWN BACKS BUT THATS AS FAR AS IT GOES...

WATCH THE FOLLOWING VIDEOS FROM THE SAME FLIGHT TO GIVE YOU A FEEL OF WHAT A 24 HOUR DELAY WITH MISSED ONWARD CONNECTING FLIGHTS, FEELS LIKE. IN MY CASE THIS RESULTED IN JUST OVER A 24 HOUR TOTAL DELAY, OF WHICH A HOTEL WAS PROVIDED FOR ABOUT 7 HOURS OF THIS. 5 HOURS WAS SPENT IN AL AIN AIRPORT WITH NO INFORMATION, NO FOOD, NOR DRINK. THE REST OF THE TIME WE WERE KEPT ONBOARD THE AIRCRAFT WITH VERY LIMITED REFRESHMENTS OF RATHER POOR QUALITY. WHAT WOULD A PROPER AIRLINE DO... APOLOGISE PERHAPS AND PROVIDE ACCOMMODATION FOR MOST OF THE DELAY WITHOUT HAVING TO BE TOLD WHAT THERE RESPONSIBILITIES WERE... PERHAPS A PROPER AIRLINE WOULD ISSUE MEAL VOUCHERS AT THE AIRPORT...PERHAPS A PROPER AIRLINE WOULD CARRY ABOUT 20 MINUTES WORTH OF EXTRA FUEL TO ALLOW FOR BAD WINDS OR ANY OTHER UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES (THIS INCLUDES HAVING TO CIRCLE THE AIRPORT A FEW TIMES AS IN THE CASE HERE)... MOST OTHER FLIGHTS MANAGED TO DO THIS WHY COULDN'T ETIHAD??? THE MIND BOGGLES IF ETIHAD FLY TO AN AIRPORT IN THE FUTURE, TO FIND THERE IS SOME CONGESTION ON LANDING, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FUEL LEFT, IN ORDER TO CUT COSTS... THEIR EXCUSE OF BLAMING WEATHER= ETIHAD CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE, WEARS VERY THIN INDEED, ESPECIALLY SINCE MOST FLIGHTS ONLY EXPERIENCED SMALL DELAYS AND NO DIVERSIONS AT ALL. THERE ARE PLENTY OF AIRLINES TO THE MIDDLE AND FAR EAST SO CHOOSE A NAME YOU CAN TRUST...
I WILL NEVER FLY ETIHAD AGAIN
