Great milestone from (in my experience) a great airline..
My only gripe is that I still can’t book a flight from Abu Dhabi to Australia on their web site. Can book a code share flight through Etihad, however I can’t access a premium economy seat (Etihad don’t have premium economy) so I end up using someone else!!
