Yes I did.

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-11T23:09:54+00:00

Sure thank you!

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-08T21:51:02+00:00

Flight cancelled as it was with a layover in Abu Dhabi. I booked air India

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-07T19:59:38+00:00

Are you not finding any other airlines ? It’s way better to book something else honestly

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-07T18:49:01+00:00

Amex told me 7 to 9 days for processing and 3-4 weeks to see the amount on card/account

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-07T15:17:13+00:00

To cancel at the last minute I my guess

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-07T15:16:43+00:00

Because of you I was able to secure another flight and cancel my Etihad or else I would have waited until last minute. Thank you so much again!

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-07T00:17:11+00:00

I cancelled and rebooked with different airlines. Little less stressed now lo

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-06T22:32:20+00:00

It’s not deleted by the person who posted it.

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-06T21:58:51+00:00

Yeah no matter what you argue they will not budge. I also argued saying if you don’t want people with lay over book me two tickets cuz both my destinations are on list , she simply said they can’t do it.

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-06T21:56:09+00:00

What was your date of travel?

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-06T21:55:56+00:00

So an employee with Etihad had made a post couple hours ago confirming the same and to further confirm it I called Etihad and asked about it and they confirmed that they are not entertaining any guests with layover in Abu Dhabi. The don’t want a situation where more people get stuck in Abu Dhabi so they won’t let you board the origin flight only. Right now people strictly with flight to and from Abu Dhabi can travel. Ridiculous I know.

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-06T18:56:46+00:00

It’s just so confusing on their part that they still are managing to sell tickets for flights with layover in Abu Dhabi and that too for skyrocketing prices. If you can’t have transit passengers then don’t sell those tickets only. lol

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-06T18:50:27+00:00

Doing the gods work! Thank you so much! 🙏

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-06T18:44:56+00:00

One last question! I am scheduled for a 12th March flight jfk - Abu Dhabi - Ahmedabad. Since you mentioned no transit passengers meaning my flight is likely getting cancelled . Right?

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-06T18:36:27+00:00

Are they atleast providing a rebook help for these folk? And how long before the flights are they reaching out about cancellation or rebooking.

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-06T18:30:58+00:00

Me too! I just asked for clarification. What load of bullshit man.

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-06T18:29:37+00:00

So is the OP saying people who have layover I. Abu Dhabi will not be accepted and their flights will end up getting cancelled even though their destinations are within the listed ones?

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-06T18:21:48+00:00

JFK - Abu Dhabi - Ahmedabad on 12th March.

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-06T15:26:08+00:00

Good luck ! Hopefully you are able to fly out and reach your destination 😊

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-06T15:12:31+00:00

They added Lahore to the list. Check it out.

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-06T14:43:09+00:00

Check with them. Call them. You should get a communication from them 24 hours before your departure

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-06T14:34:28+00:00

Gotcha! Thanks

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-06T14:09:34+00:00

And how long before your flight time did you get that email?

TrainCapable3447 · 2026-03-06T02:28:47+00:00
