Why have you listed the 'Ethiad' 7 early evening flights via Heathrow? Is it an Ethiad aircraft between Manchester and LHR? (I would be surprised if they were allowed to take customers from BA or British Midland) Having to take BA to LHR and go through Heathrow itself would take away the Ethiad advantage for me.

Hi

 

This is a connecting flight from Manchester to Heathrow by EY7376 at 17.05pm and

arriving at Heathrow at 18.05pm then you change planes for the Etihad Service to

Abu Dhabi Departing at 20.40pm arriving Bangkok at 18.45pm next day.

At this moment not sure if flight from Manchester to Heathrow is on a shared bases.

 

There is also a daily return flight Departing Bangkok at 08.40am arrives Abu Dhabi at

12.15pm then after change of planes Departs at 13.35pm arrives Heathrow at 17.30pm

then Connecting flight to Manchester arrives at 21.55 daily.

Both BA and BM have flights at 17.05 to LHR, BA 1403 and BD 591, my guess is Etihad have a code share on British Midland. The flight duration this routing is over 31 hours.That along with the dismal prospect of going via terrible LHR, and 15 hours in Abu Dhabi airport (per your warning) might not suit everybody.

Transitting through Heathrow to or from an internal flight isn't that bad, though it's a long time since I had to check in for a flight there.

 

However, there is no way I would even consider a 15 hour layover anywhere.

 

As I travel from Edinburgh, one change of plane is enough for me - so I want a non-stop flight (a re-fuelling stop is OK) from wherever I fly to first - be it Heathrow or Amsterdam etc.

There's a direct flight from Manchester to Abu Dhabi, with a 2 hour connection to Bangkok, so not sure why you would go via LHR.

 

Flight EY016 09:20 Manchester arrives 20:20 Abu Dhabi

Flight EY402 22:20 Abu Dhabi arrives Bangkok 07:10 +1

Hi.

 

Agree with what you say but from October 28th Etihad Airways are cutting the morning

flight from Manchester at 09.20am from 7 flights back to only 4 flights per week.

Hence the New Evening departure on the other 3 days at 20.20.pm.

 

And also to give people the daily choice from Manchester should they wish have introduced

the 17.05pm daily early evening departure to Abu Dhabi via Heathrow then on to Bangkok.

Heathrow has been crap for me the last several times, exhibiting pathetic organisation, overcrowding and complete lack of regard for customers. Broken jetways, late departures, aircraft parking in remote areas and waiting 45 minutes for the steps, repeated security checks, long queues and surly staff who cannot speak English. Transit from terminal 1 to 4 and reverse is a chore... the connections centre a farce. My pet hate, a national disgrace, burn it down, leave the staff inside...rebuild.

 

Sciphol for me next few trips......will try Abu Dhabi or Qatar next. Heathrow, well I will wait to see if terminal 5 helps, but somehow I doubt it.

Got to disagree. It's an absolute joke ...............
