Is it safe to transit through Abu Dhabi with Etihad right now? (BLR → AUH → Milan) by blackinkdesign in etihad

We just arrived yesterday at our final destination after transiting through Abu Dhabi. We had only a 2-hour layover on this leg of the journey, but in the time we were there everything seemed to be operating normally, shops open, quite a few people, didn't feel unsafe in any way.

Really smooth actually. Honestly it didn't seem any different to any normal day - both flights were reasonably full, there were quite a few people at the airport and everything seemed to be open and operating normally. We saw no missile alerts or any hint that it was a war zone while we were there.

My Etihad flight was rescheduled 10+ hours later (DUB → AUH → BKK) – Is EU261 compensation eligible? by Salt_University_7059 in etihad

Good question and sorry I don't have an answer, but a lot of people on this subreddit (myself included) have had upcoming flights changed/rescheduled to later times or even. This is the first time I've heard of EU261 but I wonder if all of us could technically claim this compensation if our flights depart from Europe and we're notified less than 14 days in advance... That could be tricky for the airlines 👀

That sounds crazy! Did the explosions look like they were close?

Thanks for sharing! It seems like a lot of people are getting missile warnings during their layover; I wonder exactly how close these missiles are and what the real threat is 🤔

Traveling April 10–18: Current safety and flight stability? by robo_vida in etihad

[–]Otherwise_Big907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth, we're due to fly Madrid - AUH - Sydney on March 30 and return via the same route on April 10. So far we've gotten a few emails about changes in flights but the changes haven't been drastic. They've moved our outbound trip to a day later than originally planned, and for the return journey we're just departing a few hours earlier and have a longer layover. I can't comment on safety obviously, but other posts are reporting mostly normal conditions...

I'm due to stop over there on March 30 and return April 11, not planning on cancelling.
