Jumeirah at Etihad Towers – Reviews. Jumeirah at Etihad Towers – Reviews Etihad Airways counter: free food, blankets and everything else

There are no complaints about the work of the hotel itself inside, perhaps except for the lack of Russian channels on TV (only one). Quite a strange operation of the air conditioning system, the first three days were very cold and there was extreme humidity in the room (everyone caught a little cold). The main complaints relate to access to the beach and pools outside. I really didn’t like the lack of special areas for smokers; people smoke right next to the pool where children swim. It also causes discomfort that on weekends, noisy “feasts” are held near the central pool among residents of the complex. People break dishes and pieces fall into the pool. I pierced my leg with a piece of glass by stepping on it at the bottom of the pool while swimming with my child (it’s good that it wasn’t the child who got hurt). We, of course, received a compliment from the hotel for this incident, but I was outraged by the fact that they didn’t offer me first aid right away and that I pierced on Thursday, and the party was on Friday the week before. (I conclude that no one has “vacuumed” the bottom of this pool in a week. Also, be careful on the floating pontoon, they don’t clean it from the bottom of the built-up shells, my wife severely tore her leg, it’s still healing in the second week. True, there was help that time they provided assistance immediately, but no one rushed to remove the shells(((The amount of plastic bags on the bottom of the sea on the beach is unacceptable for a hotel of this level. Is it really impossible to send one of the staff with a mask to collect this garbage? Cigarette butts and ice cream wrappers on The sand of the beach is also not very well collected. After the last hurricane, for another week the pillows from the sunbeds were all torn in the sand. The sunbeds had to be cleared of sand by ourselves (and for a whole week after the hurricane) (for example, in the park of the oil company building opposite the hotel, palm trees torn out by the wind were placed. overnight and put things in order). In general, the organization of the work of the beach and pool staff leaves much to be desired. And the prices on the beach for alcohol are, of course, exorbitant.

We lived in room 4210 for 15 days. The breakfast is super, but there is no children's table and few desserts (the child could not eat the same sausages, for example, because they are spicy). The salmon and great cheeses were very pleasing. Super cleaning twice a day. I am pleased with the number of additional appliances and household items in the room. The mattress and pillows are probably the best we have seen in hotels. Awesome view from the window. Excellent soundproofing of the room. The hotel staff is excellent. Excellent location of the hotel. Every day there is fresh fruit in the room and signature Jumeirah sweets. Branded ice cream and popsicles were provided free of charge on the beach. Quick check-in and check-out. Special thanks to Ekaterina from the reception service, she helped us a lot.

Length of stay: November 2019

Today we will talk about a flight from Abu Dhabi to the capital of Thailand, Bangkok.

Departure date: February 22, 2017, Wednesday.
Departure airport: Abu Dhabi, terminal 3.
Aircraft: Boeing 777-300ER, A6-ETB.
Flight: EY-402 departure at 21:30, arrival at 06:35.
Arrival airport: Bangkok, Suvarnabhumi, Concourse G.

Today, Abu Dhabi International Airport consists of 2 terminals: the first and the third. Judging by photographs from the Internet, it is Terminal No. 1 that gives the airport its originality.

It is worth noting that in Abu Dhabi the construction of a new terminal with throughput almost 35 million passengers a year.
Construction should be completed by the summer of 2017, and the terminal should be fully operational in December.

After inspection, we move towards gate 35, from where the flight to Bangkok will take place.

As usually happens in such cases, we will not pass by duty-free shops. There are no workarounds.

The food court is located on the floor above, where hungry passengers are lifted by an escalator or their feet up the stairs.

The number of duty free shops is not more than sufficient. There is nothing to surprise a sophisticated traveler about them.
The rectangular terminal No. 3 has boarding gates on 2 levels. Gates on the top floor are for jet bridges, on the bottom floor there are gates for kobuses.

This is what the passage through the top floor looks like.

To the right of the passage, closer to the windows, there are gate storage units. Access to them is free. There is also an information desk here.

The passage to the lower floor is located in the center of the terminal. It has its own information desk and duty-free shop.

The terminal has attributes common to many international airports and Arabic in particular.

Business lounges.

Counters with Internet access and the ability to leave your feedback.

The ability to recharge a gadget today is a necessity that has almost caught up with water and food in popularity.

For brands that may catch fire, keep a fire extinguisher nearby.

You can even leave your accessory charging in the safe for when you need to go, like making a donation or throwing out trash.

I concluded for myself that the airport resembles the Dubai one. With smaller sizes, fewer stores and, of course, none of that pathos. And the most important thing is that it is much quieter and calmer here. In order to sleep, there are places that are softer than in Dubai, but at the same time with straighter backs.
Although today we don't care about that. We take our seats in the storage area while waiting for our flight.

Boarding is announced on time.
We wait with trepidation for new miracles from the boots, but the landing makes its way the first time. Please note that in Moscow the correct boarding gate was indicated at the boarding gates.

It’s dark outside, and there’s no way to take advantage of it. A young man of dark appearance, I would even say “Negro,” seeing me trying to capture the plane, returns, takes out his black IPhone and tries to take a good shot of the Boeing.

The Boeing 777-300ER is not the latest 2006 model, but it has the new Etihad Airways livery.
The aircraft consists of one business class cabin and 3 cabins economy class. The seating layout is 3-4-3. The width of the chair is 17.5 inches. The seat upholstery is fabric, pleasant in appearance.

One of the airplane's kitchens.

Etihad Airways has codeshare agreements with various airlines, which was repeatedly repeated on board, incl. and with Air Berlin. A whole landing of German-speaking young passengers set off to conquer Bangkok. There was a feeling that we had taken someone else’s seats and disrupted the “mein lieben deutsche charm” harmony of the 3rd economy class cabin.
After business class, it felt cramped, and it would have been really bad if not for the miracle boots. The neighbor in the aisle never appeared. And this bonus, like the business class on the previous segment from Moscow, will also be included in the “shoe” merits.
However, after some time (several days), it became clear that the distance to the seat in front was quite comfortable.

Photos of the cities Etihad flies to were shown on the screen. The Germans rattled on incessantly.

After the standard procedures of displaying safety instructions on the screens and praying before the flight, we quickly took off.

For a comfortable stay on board, each seat had a blanket, headphones for the entertainment system and an amenity kit.

The set of pockets is the same as on the flight from Moscow. One difference: the magazine is no longer for business, but for economy class.

I didn't really want to eat. This was the first time on a flight that we didn't enjoy our food as much as we should. So I advise you not to fly business class. After all, after it, the usual joys of flying no longer seem so bright.
The menu in the pocket is in international English and, for a long time, European Arabic.

Warm napkins were distributed before meals. At Emirates last year these were full towels.

For dinner, Thai noodle salad, warmed bun, rice with chicken, rice pudding, butter, cheese, cookies, a bottle of water and a glass of white wine. I note that the dishes are made of hard plastic and the cutlery is metal.

The wine seemed simple and sour compared to the previous segment. But the food is really tasty. And despite the lack of a brutal appetite, everything was carefully placed in the stomach.
Alcohol was delivered and you could enjoy it, but we turned off this option for the night.

The entertainment system was exactly the same as on the previous flight. Although cosmetic differences can be found. Here are some pages of the system.

For those who like to track a flight, there are various options for presenting it.

It was dark outside and it was not possible to film anything worthwhile. The flight is spent watching a movie and then half asleep.

Breakfast includes coffee/tea and muffin.

Landing and landing takes place already at dawn. The porthole has become worn out after just over 10 years of use.

We dock at Concourse G and say goodbye to the airline for a while. Next door is the A380 of Thailand's main carrier.

We move along the long corridor of the concourse with the help of travelators along with everyone else.

Our next destination is Ho Chi Minh City. The required gate has not yet been defined on the board.

We linger here for an hour before going through security to sleep. Comfortable seating is available.
The next flight is in almost 5 hours.

Brief summaries of airports and airlines.

Abu Dhabi Terminal 3. There is no such chic as at the Dubai airport. Although the necessary functionality is available. It will be interesting to compare the 2 airports when they open new terminal. Perhaps this will give impetus to further development route network airlines.

Bangkok, Suvarnabhumi, Concourse G. You can feel the scale of the airport. Many various airlines. It has its own flavor that distinguishes it from the rest.

Etihad Airways. It is difficult to adequately evaluate in contrast to business class. After a while you realize that flying with this airline is very, very pleasant.

Latest review of Etihad Airways. We have long wanted to fly with Etihad Airways and finally our wish came true. We made 2 flights on the Moscow route - with a transfer to. We tell you about our experience so that you can draw your own conclusions about what to expect from Etihad Airways.

Etihad Airways review

I’ll say right away that expectations from the airline were not met.
I don't know why, but we used to consider Etihad to be an airline of the same caliber as or . But in reality this is the level of, let’s say, Aeroflot. Only the flight attendants smile.

The first thing that spoiled the impression was the email spam from the Etihad Air Force, which began a week before departure. After the third letter, I couldn’t stand it and unsubscribed from the mailing list. But still, another letter arrived on the eve of departure.

Where can I order a transfer from the airport?

We use the service - KiwiTaxi
We ordered a taxi online and paid by card. We were met at the airport with a sign with our name on it. We were taken to the hotel in a comfortable car. You've already talked about your experience in this article

Flight EY 68 Moscow - Abu Dhabi

Time: 12:50 – 19:05
Flight: 5.5 hours

The second unpleasant impression was the queue for registration at Domodedovo. The queue itself is small, about 10 people in total, but each passenger is served for 5-10 minutes. Why? What's so difficult about accepting luggage and printing your boarding pass?

We stood for about 40 minutes... Luckily there was time, we arrived at the airport in 3 hours. When we finally got to the check-in counter, they started asking us to show our paid return ticket from Malaysia. It’s good that we purchased such an air ticket, since it was required for. The employee checked the ticket number against the database. Otherwise they would not have been allowed on the plane.

• Baggage allowance at Etihad Airlines: 23 kg + 10 kg hand luggage.

We go into the salon. It is clear that the plane is not new. But the finishing is of high quality, neat chairs in a pleasant sand color.

There is enough legroom. The chairs are not narrow. It wasn't cramped. There is a convenient pocket for a water bottle in the back of the chair. Built-in monitors work, a good selection of films in English, music, games, map, camera. Watched the new episode " Star Wars" There are USB chargers. Each passenger is also provided with a blanket and a pillow (dirty).

Everything seems fine, but the seats don’t recline

Departure from Moscow without delays.

Nutrition. What do Etihad airways feed?

The food on board the Etihad also disappointed us.
We were expecting “haute cuisine”, like the Cathars and Turks, but received a choice of a regular cutlet with rice or pasta with gravy. During the 5 hour flight, food and drinks were served only once after takeoff. There were no nuts or cookies. Among the advantages of food, we note delicious wine and metal cutlery.

Transit to Abu Dhabi

The flight from Moscow to Abu Dhabi takes about 5 hours 30 minutes. Approach over the desert. It's interesting to look out the window.

The new terminal in Abu Dhabi has not yet opened. In the photo below you can see cranes and construction at the airport.

Abu Dhabi airport is huge, clean and quiet. Transit time 3 hours. There is no need to collect luggage. After the first flight we were hungry and had a snack at McDonald's. The prices are reasonable, the two of us ate for $12. We paid by card so as not to change money.

We walked around the duty free shops, went to the other end of the airport, and lay around for half an hour on the most comfortable sun loungers. At Moscow airports they are now trying in every possible way to prohibit lying on seats, but in Abudhabi, on the contrary, there are even sun loungers (pictured above on the right).

Flight EY 418 Abu Dhabi - Kuala Lumpur

Time: 22:25 – 10:20
In flight: about 8 hours

The plane is large, but the seats are more cramped. At online registration We chose seats at the end of the salon, where you can sit two at a time, without a neighbor. The flight was delayed by about an hour. Air traffic control did not give permission for takeoff. The pilot is American.

The food was again unappetizing. You can eat when you are hungry. Good wine saved the day again. There was also beer and whiskey to choose from. Alcohol is being poured even despite Ramadan.

All passengers are provided only with blankets and pillows (again, stale). No slippers, socks, blindfolds or other small items are provided

I wore a logo headband for the night Qatar Airways. I hope someone at the airline was embarrassed that their passengers were using accessories from a competitive airline.

It was almost impossible to sleep. The seats are cramped and practically cannot be reclined. With some effort, I managed to recline the back a little (it was possible to return it to its original position only with the help of a flight attendant). The salon is not full, the uncultured Malay neighbor to our left was a little more lucky:

In the morning, an hour before boarding, breakfast was served - 2 cold sandwiches in a bag
We were content with empty coffee. Coffee so-so

Disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste were also not provided to anyone.

We somehow caught up with the flight time and landed in Kuala Lumpur on schedule. Great! We're on time for the next flight.

Bottom line

What conclusions can be drawn:

Etihad Airways is the most common air carrier. Definitely not luxury, not luxury, not prestige. I would even say that Etihad is a budget airline. Perhaps things are better in business class, but in economy you saw for yourself how.

You can fly with Etihad if you have good tickets. They have good sales, which is why we bought tickets Moscow - Kuala Lumpur for 17 thousand rubles per person. But you shouldn’t expect any additional comfort from them. The main thing is that we arrived. There’s definitely no point in buying tickets specifically for Etihad flights just for the sake of the service; Qatar and Turkish are much better.

To be honest, we were disappointed. Although they themselves are to blame for this. This always happens when there is a misconception. The Etihad marketers did their best, otherwise how could we have such high expectations... Either Etihad used to be at the level, but now they have deteriorated.

If you have flown Etihad Airlines, please leave your feedback in the comments. What did you like, what did you not like? If you haven’t flown, but have long wanted to try them, then how do you like this unexpected truth about this airline?

Let me start with the fact that you can find shortcomings in any hotel. But this is if you are willing to actively criticize. If you come just to relax, then this hotel is just for you. The hotel is located in a large building in the form of 5 towers....More ▾ Let me start with the fact that you can find shortcomings in any hotel. But this is if you are willing to actively criticize. If you come just to relax, then this hotel is just for you. The hotel is located in a large building, in the form of 5 towers. Just opposite Emirets Peles. The hotel is relatively new. There are few Russian speakers. Upon arrival, we were met by a pleasant girl Olga from Zaporozhye. If you do not speak English, she will help you when you check in, show you your room, and tell you about the services the hotel provides. Upon check-in, you are asked to leave a deposit; if you do not want to leave a deposit, then you will fill out a form in which you undertake to pay in cash for all services provided. The advantages of this method are that you will always know about your balance, the disadvantages are that the minibar is closed (respectively, the refrigerator). All the staff are very responsive. You feel something special here. The rooms in the skyscraper are decorated in high-tech style. I won’t describe it, I plan to post a photo. The air conditioning is central, but you can set it to 25 degrees Celsius and you won’t freeze at night. The room had slippers, bathrobes, one spare toothbrush, shaving accessories, a safe, an iron and ironing board, a hairdryer, and all sorts of small things (thread, needles, shampoos, sachets, files). The room is decorated with fresh flowers. We had breakfast and dinner (you can change dinner for lunch) in an international restaurant. Breakfast - buffet(fish, meat, poultry, vegetables, fruits). Here I need to make a note, I have visited many hotels of different categories, but this one surprised me with a rich assortment of products. Dinner follows the same principle, only one important detail is drinks for an additional fee (including water - 32 Dirhams). In addition, the hotel has 7 more restaurants, for money. Feel free to ask what is free and what is not. From the hotel to Marina Mall up to 10 dirhams (according to the meter). The beach is sandy, sun loungers and towels are provided free of charge by the hotel. Your job is only to show where you want to lie (on the beach or by the pool). The beach is small but cozy and clean. Lifeguards are on duty on the beach and near the pool. If your baby does not know how to swim, you can take a swimming vest or foam tubes for him - free of charge. Ice water, watermelon, ice cream on the beach for an additional fee. The room is cleaned, bed linen is changed daily, with high quality. Every day a vase of fruit and chocolate turtles are delivered to the room. The hotel has observation deck, shopping mall, conference rooms and bars. I personally am happy with everything, if suddenly there are changes, I will write about them. In the future I hope to write about my overall impression of the hotel.
