    Has anyone tried any of the airlines: EY, QR and EK?

    Singapore Airlines is VERY expensive and these airlines offer half the rate of SQ. Which is the best among the Three? Also how it is like in the airports of Abu Dhabi, Doha or Dubai?

    Emirates and Etihad are our 2 airlines going to Europe, with stopovers in the UAE....

    No complains... Huwag lang makakatabi ng Arabong mabaho....

    Stopover in Dubai or Abu Dhabi?.... Great airports....

    Religious Tour?

    Emirates is the best among the three. Newer planes Boeing 777 same as Etihad, good service and food. Dubai airport is one of the busiest and most modern airport in the world. Mas madali rin hanapin ang connecting flights.

    was making fun of etihad airlines calling it jihad airlines until i was in the plane. the aircraft was new, very elegant flight attendants, courteous service, real utensils and good airline food.

    DXB (Dubai Int'l. Airport)is one of the modern airport today. Malaki ang DXB, Emirates has the brand new Airplanes very clean & new as i ride last 5 years ago not sure today. But i think it is still well maintained. Kung DXB ka bili ka nang gold jewellery sa duty free.

    Maganda naman both emirates and qr. Usually manila to middle east mostly pinoy naman ang passengers. And both of them have online checkins.

    Depends really:

    Planes: Same same. Both uses B777.
    Business Class : Etihad has slightly better service but their seats are a bit cramped for me (I'm a big guy). Emirates has this big screens. Both are lie flat.
    Economy : Economy in Emirates is fairly nice but a bit crowded than Etihad because a lot more people go to Dubai than Abu Dhabi.
    Service : Nearly the same great service but I give a slightly higher ranking to Etihad, although Emirates do have Filipinas as flight attendants.
    Timetable : Emirates has this red eye flight (leaves around 12 midnight) which is convenient. You sleep all the way for 8 hours.
    Stopover : Dubai is a better airport to stop over than Abu Dhabi.
    Price : Same Same

    Between the two I would take EK than EY for the very sole reason of the airport. DXB is a lot better than AUH.

    Etihad offers the cheapest rate among the 4. How is Etihad's Business Class seats comparable to PAL?

    Okay lahat yan Cat. they all use B777-300ER aircrafts, sometimes A330 for QR. Gulf Air ok din, they utilize the A330 and stops at Bahrain. It depends on where you're going and which stopover you want to stop to din.

    Prices are all similar.

    Mas malaki serving ng food sa EK.

    Thanks! I had PAL's seats in mind as Etihad offered the cheapest fare. It's not so bad after all
