In a few weeks I am due to fly from JNB to DUS via AUH. I don’t know the latter airport.

What are your experiences of transferring there?

My experiences of Abu Dhabi are very positive. There is a fair amount of building work going on right now so some bussing between aircraft and terminal but it is done well. There can be a certain amount of chaos if it is during a time when migrant workers from countries like Pakistan are arriving as there are extensive checks on their paperwork / visa etc.

Abu Dhabi Airport Company rolled out a new mobile website earlier in the year, which can provide a range of info. Link to the story here:

T1 was refurbished last year:

Thanks Stringfellow and BTME for your replies.

I will be flying into and out of T3, so hopefully no bus transfer required.
BTW, is there a smoking room airside as I have exactly 2 hours between flights?

Best regards

Simon

Simon..Big improvement now that T 3 is open…recon about a year now.

Although dont smoke …bad habit etc koff-koff…there is a sm room airside and its located upstairs at the far end just by the Bill Bently pub.

We will be heading that way end of November on Eti to Bkk…for the winter.

Simon. If you’re travelling Etihad First or Business Class, there are smoking rooms in both lounges, both of which are excellent.

Economy all the way!

I connected thru AUH this past summer, JFK , AUH, DEL on Etihad. Very easy and quick. I did change concourses via inside walkway and did have to go thru connection security. This was painless. If you are in First or Business, great Etihad lounges.
