FAQs - booking Abu Dhabi flights

  • How do I travel from Abu Dhabi Airport into the city?

    The recommended public transport for tourists is the bus service. You can find stops outside Terminals 1 and 2 which are indicated by the blue and white signs. There are a number of different services that run to and from the airport, stopping at various points throughout the city, including the Al Rahba Hospital and the central Old Fish Market on Al Nasr. Tickets cost approximately 4 AED (1.60 AUD).

  • Do I need a visa to visit Abu Dhabi?

    Australian passport holders do technically require a visa to enter the United Arab Emirates (UAE), however, you will not need to arrange this before your arrival.

  • How busy is the Abu Dhabi Airport?

    The Abu Dhabi International Airport is the second largest airport in the United Arab Emirates after Dubai, and one of the biggest transit airports in the world. It is therefore recommended that you give yourself plenty of time to cross the airport. As it can be very busy during peak traffic times, it is also recommended that you give plenty of time to pass through processes such as baggage claims, immigration, and security.

Alternatively, if you just need a power-nap, you can find GoSleep sleeping pods in the upper level of Terminal 3.

i have book the flight with baggage. and i have paid $800.00 for the baggage. when i contacted to JUSTFLY Costumer Service they told me that my baggage was included in the booking. then why i have to pay. i am going to file a complain against it. $800.00 is not at all small amount

I payed for extra leg room but in last moment my seating place was changed and i got standard one seat. Staff was not able to do anything , so was very disappointed because of this.

They lost the baggage and said it was deleted from the system. I had baggage tag so was able to file the complaint but there was no PIR number and update so far

It was very relaxing and staff were very quick to attend to any requests.

Air hostesses were great. Food was good. Flat bed is not that flat or comfortable.

Very disappointed to not have lounge access The shorter flight seats were uncomfortable

Seats were very comfortable and the staff too was very friendly.

I booked tickets for a family of five and specifically paid extra to select our seats together. We spent nearly $1,000 extra (around $100 per seat) for extra legroom so we could sit near each other. However, despite paying for this, we ended up being separated on the flight. This caused a major issue for our family because my parents do not speak English and rely on me to translate and assist them during the journey. I do not understand why Etihad changed our reserved seats without explanation. I am extremely dissatisfied with this experience. I expect the airline to do better, and I am requesting a full refund for the seat selection fees we paid.

1 hour delay meant missed my connecting flight and 1st day of holiday

Flight got canceled due to Middle East conflict. Just fly hasn’t refunded me the money
