A visitor management system may be software employed by companies to streamline the visitor process using document scanning, appointments, etc. Visitor management systems help in collecting accurate information and simply obtain information about every visitor. This is mostly used by large organizations, schools, hospitals, etc.
VISITOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR EVENTS USING TEKTRON
Events like trade fairs or a conference are the important tool for strategic marketing and communication employed by companies of every size. Event Organizers constantly look for innovative ways to display the products, invite inspiring speakers for conferences, or include exciting facts to form a singular memorable environment.

But in an increasingly digital world, what are you ready to do to feature more room to the exciting experience? Being the very best event and exhibition visitor management system in Saudi Arabia and UAE, we all know that technological advancements are often at the center of creating a memorable and interactive event.
Real-Time Location Services (RTLS) and Proximity Technologies using Tektron can give users a more engaging experience when attending your event.
1.Eliminate queues for purchasing tickets or registration
Beacon Technology with mobile apps is getting used for frustration-free entry or registration to an event .
2. Monitor and Manage event crowds
Beacon technology or RFID could also be a boon for crowd management. Real-time heat maps are often generated which may assist you to urge feeds of crowd gathering, movement of participants in an event and proactively inform the visitors a few crucial event. Let’s consider a use case where you'd want to warn attendees about an overcrowded zone or co-ordinate traffic during show-times by reminding the attendees.
3.Send Contextual information
Large events are often overwhelming for the visitors or attendees and what if the stall owner decides to supply a 20% discount on all his organic healthcare products for subsequent one hour. How do the people near the stall or passing the stall would realize the offer? Or, the Amphitheatre was hosting a presentation what your visitors would have loved to hitch but didn’t know it . Beacon technology combined with mobile apps will help the event organizers to notify people about what comes next within the venue and access what’s available right when it matters.

4.Collect Event Intelligence
The attendees received personalized notifications and benefited by a machine-learning recommendation system. Moreover, exhibitors were able to connect with attendees and convey them to their stands. Finally, location and audience analytics provided event organizers with the specified knowledge to reinforce future events.

How Technology is Shaping Airports of the Future
SITA has made 10 predictions about how
technology is shaping the way passengers will move through
airports of the future.
In the past 10 years, airports have introduced
biometric security, mobile check-in and baggage tracking, and
there is much more to come.
Benoit Verbaere, Business Development Director,
SITA, said, “Passenger numbers are set to double in the next
twenty years, according to IATA, but airport expansion won’t keep
up. And passengers, quite rightly, want a smooth and easy journey
through the airport. The only way we can make sure airports
continue to work smoothly is by developing and implementing new
technologies that make them more efficient while also enhancing
the passenger experience.”
So what does SITA expect the airport of the
future to be like?
Security will be integrated
into a frictionless journey
Over the next decade, going through security
will mean walking along a corridor. No more taking off your coat,
shoes, and belt, or putting little bottles into little bags. And
no more queues. Passengers and their bags will be recognized
automatically as they go through automated checkpoints. Hard
checkpoints will be replaced by sensor corridors, making physical
document checks obsolete.
Passengers will be in
control of their digital identity
The adoption of digital self-sovereign identity
and persistent travel tokens will put passengers back in control
of what aspects of their identity should be revealed, for what
purpose, as they travel. In future airports, risk will be
constantly assessed by specialist artificial intelligence, using
the passenger’s digital identity. The sensitive elements of this
data will be used only by governments, which will use automated
collaborative systems to approve – or, in some cases, not approve
– the various steps of the journey. Airlines will no longer hold
the responsibility for processing passenger data for border
security purposes.
Travel steps will be
decentralized
Everything will have tags: people, bags and
cargo. And they will be tracked throughout their entire journey,
whatever mode of transport they are using. This will mean travel
authorization and customs checks can be made in advance of the
flight, saving time at the airport. And remote bag drop-off and
collection will be offered wherever it is most convenient for the
passenger, at train stations for example.
The airport will be
highly connected
Our new era of connected airports will be driven
by increasingly cheap sensors, less dedicated hardware and new
data lakes, fed by every device over 5G and beyond. The data will
be captured through Software Defined Networks, collated and
analyzed to make the airport highly efficient and to make it a
much better experience for passengers.
The airport will think
for itself
Artificial Intelligence algorithms will be key
to efficiency, with sophisticated AI becoming the secret sauce for
airports. Airports will use Digital Twin technology to bring
real-time operations to life for all stakeholders, improving
operational efficiency and enhancing the passenger experience. A
Digital Twin is an advanced computer simulation that takes data
from across the entire airport and airline operations to
visualize, simulate and predict what will happen next.
That predictive data will then be used to
streamline operational activities, automating them where possible.
Automated messages such as: “Two A380s will land at the same time
because one is delayed: ensure there are enough people on
immigration desks.” or “The feedback from the restrooms on the
second level is negative: send the cleaners”. The rapid exchange
of information will mean proactive responses and therefore more
responsive and accurately planned operations for airlines and
airports.
Collaboration will be
critical
Across every single journey, there are 10 or
more different entities that are responsible for making your trip
a reality. The only way to collect all the data to make this
journey seamless is through close collaboration between everyone
working at an airport: the airport itself, airlines, government
agencies, ground handlers, restaurants, and shops. We also need
collaboration across the entire ecosystem of connected airports.
Throughout this wide network, operational data
will be shared using trust frameworks and stakeholders will share
single sources of truth for essential operations. This will make
airports much more efficient, for example digitizing turnaround
management, putting a sharp focus on getting aircraft back in the
air as quickly as possible.
Here technologies such as blockchain provide
tremendous potential in facilitating the secure exchange of
information.
The airport will be highly
automated
High-speed mobile connectivity at the airport
will be central to mission-critical performance. Airports will
increasingly run just-in-time operations, with automation and
self-service making everything more efficient. And connected,
automated and autonomous vehicles and robots are set to become
commonplace throughout the airport.
Automation will also enable more efficient
sharing and use of assets. A wide range of objects – from baggage
or aircraft tugs – will be connected via 5G networks, providing
massive amounts of data, offering real-time, predictive and
historic views of airport operations.
The airport will adapt to
passengers’ needs
The fast and frictionless journey to, and
through, the airport will make some current revenue streams, for
example, parking, weaker or obsolete. Airports will, therefore,
need to find new ways to augment the travel experience to replace
them. Personalization will be the key, providing passengers with
what they want, when they need it at any point throughout their
journey from start to finish, not just at the airport.
Examples could include an airport-provided limo
service comprising bag check-in at your home, office or hotel, and
fast-track approvals and facilitation for regular travelers.
Mobility will be a
service on demand
Airports will become giant flying ‘park and
ride’ centers, providing access to a wide range of transport
options. Innovations such as air taxis will be emerging by 2030 to
provide much more efficient transport to and from the airport.
They may even provide competition on short-haul routes. We will
truly have air travel for everyone.
There will be an API for
everything we do at the airport
Since tomorrow’s travelers will be digital
natives, people running airports will need to be digital natives
themselves. This technologically-literate environment will result
in airport complexity being sliced into a set of data services
that can be shared as application programming interfaces (APIs).
It will provide an ecosystem that enables collaboration and
innovation, which is easier for everyone to use. For example, AI
and new syntaxes will enable requests of industry-specific insight
in human terms: ‘Is there a pink bag as carry on at gate B34?’ or
‘The line at arrival concourse A is too long, send more taxis’.
"The future of airports lies in connected,
highly-intelligent and efficient operations that offer passengers
pain-free and frictionless travel and rich, personalized
experiences. Today’s blockages and operational silos will
dissolve, resulting in data sharing based on digital trust, shared
assets and real-time calculations from AI,” added Verbaere. “We’re
entering a golden silicon-infused era for air travel and we’re
excited to be part of the journey. However, it’s essential the
industry acknowledges the need for change and collaborates. These
technological shifts will happen, and faster than we think.”

Captain Jack Casino invites you to join the team of an invincible pirate frigate and go on a trip to boundless golden shores! This site has a whole and interesting design dedicated, as the name implies, to pirate topics, as well as a balanced set of slot machines and other types of gambling. All this is counterbalanced by the excellent security system of Captain Jack Casino and the use of advanced technologies in the field of personal data protection for visitors.
In this review, we`ll cover all these points in detail in order to understand whether it`s worth playing in Captain Jack Casino for real money. We also won`t forget about bonuses because free spins and deposits are the basis for attracting customers to any casino. So, raise the mooring lines! We set off on a journey.
Software Captain Jack Casino
The reliable and proven software is one of the main ways to earn the loyalty of online casinos customers. Having received no declared speed and popular slots, users at the best will simply leave the site, at worst – leave angry reviews that will negatively affect the reputation of the service. Captain Jack Casino actively cooperates with leading manufacturers of slot machines, such as Real Time Gaming. New 2019 gaming machines from these manufacturers appear almost constantly.
Thus, players can always enjoy the latest developments in the gambling industry. Captain Jack Casino also has a license for Technical System Testing (TST), which is a monitoring organization that checks the casino software for fraudulent transactions and cheating. The TST certificate confirms that Captain Jack Casino uses a completely transparent scheme of the game, where everything depends on a random number generator, but not on the influence of the casino personnel on the honesty of the slots.
Captain Jack Casino now offers the players with 160 slot machines, among which you can find both classic models with three reels, and modern video slots with interesting game mechanics and many secret levels. Also separately in Captain Jack Casino there is sorting through New and Popular games. Top popular slots are updated every week, and the “New Games” tab allows the players to immediately play new items without searching them in the entire list of slot machines. Captain Jack Casino also offers its visitors a huge segment of free slots so that the players can get to know both the interface of the site and the real payments on slots.
Other Types of the Games
In addition to the standard slot machines, Captain Jack Casino offers the players to try their luck in other types of gambling. The following types of card and table games are available on the site:
Card games: poker (like classic variants such as Texas Hold’em Poker, Tri-Card Poker and Red Dog, and a more liberal interpretation in the form of Let’em Ride and Pai Gow), several variants of blackjack and baccarat;
16 kinds of video poker;
Several tables of classic American roulette, differing in player level and the size of bets;
The so-called Specialty Games are represented in the Captain Jack Casino in the form of French and European roulette, as well as craps, Chinese checkers, several types of instant lotteries, bingo and keno. Thus, lovers of excitement will definitely find something to their liking.
All the games are available both in a browser version of Captain Jack Casino and in a downloadable client for PCs or tablets. The stationary version, among other things, will allow you to play in the absence of an Internet connection and train your skills, and also has a faster download speed of your favourite games and a convenient personal cabinet. In the personal office of Captain Jack Casino, you can sort the games by type, level of skills and complexity, bet sizes, number of players in the game and many parameters, which will allow you to choose the configuration and the table according to your taste and preferences.
Captain Jack Casino Bonus Policy
Bonuses and promotions in Captain Jack Casino are presented in the form of a standard package for registration of a new participant and a VIP program. Let`s consider in more detail how it`s implemented.
In Captain Jack Casino there are several types of no deposit bonuses:

Deposit and Withdrawal of Funds

Neteller: the most popular way of replenishing the account. However, it has some limitations: for example, payments come to your game balance with a delay of up to 24 hours. Of the merits – small and multiple transactions are combined into one large, which reduces the cost of commission. In order for you to be able to replenish your account with credit or debit cards, at the first transaction, the casino will ask you to fill out a special agreement, in which you`ll need to specify your personal data and confirm that you are the owner of the card.
Neteller: a great way to replenish your account without delay. To do this, you`ll need to create an account on the Neteller website and link it to your account in Captain Jack Casino. Please note that this payment option isn`t available to residents of the United States, France, Canada, Spain, Germany, and Singapore.
When you first withdraw funds, Captain Jack Casino support can request your personal information as proof that you are an adult and the owner of the card. To do this, send a scanner of your passport or driver’s license to the Captain Jack Casino support team.

via Today Bharat nbsp; Emigration loopholes mean people donrsquo;t get covered under Pravasi Bharatiya Bima Yojana (PBBY) a mandatory insurance cover for all migrating workers. Thirty-eight-year-old Kokeni Posanna of Jaina Village of Jagtial District in Telangana, went to the United Arab Emirates in 2018 to work as a cleaner. He was an agricultural labourer in debt, and a job in Dubai appeared as a way out of the debt and poverty back home. For the next one year and ten months, Posanna cleaned swimming pools and worked at landscaping gardens. His earnings were inconsistent; mostly, the salary never came on time, and on some months, it never came. The highest he could manage to send home to his wife and two children was a sum of Rs 16,000 during a month of his stay. Posanna was brought back to India this year in January with his right side paralysed. The long hours working under the desert sun took its toll on him. ldquo;He got a fever once, and had to resume duty before he could recover. He had no insurance nor access to a hospital, and his health got worse,rdquo; says Ganaga Jala, his wife. The migrant worker had gone to the UAE on a tourist visa and was working with a Dubai based firm illegally. He had no access to healthcare in the UAE nor was he protected under Indiarsquo;s mandatory insurance scheme for migrant workers, Pravasi Bharatiya Bima Yojana (PBBY). Officials with the Ministry of External Affairs say unlisted companies hire such workers on tourist visas through recruiting agents, to save money. There are thousands like Posanna across the country who have been unable to avail PBBY as they are recruited by agents who send them abroad on tourist visas, and not legal employment visas. The workers thus work illegally and are not insured. The agents also donrsquo;t switch them from tourist visas to a proper work visa, and the Government of India (GoI) either remains in the dark, or ignores the issue wilfully. The PoErsquo;s roleMigrants like Posanna who do not have a formal education require an emigration clearance to move abroad for work. The emigration clearance is given by the Protector of Emigrants (PoE) office that handles the emigrant system. They are also tasked with issuing the licences for recruiting agents. In the year 2019, among the five southern states, recruiting agents from Tamil Nadu sent 27,230 persons through the emigrant system. Kerala stands second with 18,577 persons, while agents in Andhra Pradesh sent 14,971 persons, Telangana sent 13,186 persons and Karnataka 5,198 persons. Those who go abroad on a tourist visa for work are not counted, said an official with the PoE office in Hyderabad. As of February 4, 2020, the GoI has given licences to 1,451 recruiting agents across the country. However, 25% of these firms have not shown any record of their monthly returns to the Ministry of External Affairs in the last one year. Under the Immigration Act, they are supposed to submit periodical reports. Many Indians going to the Gulf donrsquo;t get recorded in Indiarsquo;s emigrant system. Agents send them on tourist visas and promise that they would be given an employment visa within a few months of their visit. Many like Kokeni Posanna never end up getting employment visas, and continue to work on extended tourist visas. Many others whose employers do manage to get them an employment visa prefer to not fly to India and back for stamping the visa. Many migrant workers on tourist visa go up the UAE-Oman border town of Hatta, make an exit to Oman and re-enter UAE with a fresh employment visa. Others go to the island of Kiev and re-stamp visas on their passports. ldquo;The stamping on passport is done by the UAE, that data is not shared with the Indian government. There are thousands who are missing out on the insurance safety net like this,rdquo; adds Bheem. In 2019, the Indian government came up with the Draft Emigration Bill meant to provide a regulatory system to govern overseas employment of Indian nationals. The Bill hoped to make it mandatory for both ECR (Emigration Check Required) and ECNR (Emigration Certificate Not Required) category of Indians travelling abroad to register with the emigrant system. At present, ECR is required for those who do not have a Class 10 certificate; those who have studied beyond Class 10 that do not require an emigration clearance and are thus classified under ECNR category. "But there was resistance from those in the ECR category,rdquo; says Rejimon Kuttappan, a journalist who writes on migrant rights. There are some 18 countries where ECR is presently required, including six Gulf countries where a majority of the job seekers flock to. "But in a state like Kerala, almost everyone will have a Class 10 certificate and thus will be categorised under ECNR and so it's not mandatory for them to go through the emigration system. The Bill trying to make it mandatory came up in the last Parliament session, but lapsed," he explains. If people under both ECR and ECNR categories are made to register with the emigration system, it gives clarity to the GoI on how many Indians are actually going abroad for work. Rejimon says that companies based in the Gulf hire people through visitor visas as they can pay these workers less, violate labour norms by not paying for life or medical insurance, gratuity or even provide a human resource department to register grievances. ldquo;These days, even engineers are going on driver visas and continue to work at sites. If they meet with an accident, the police ask why a person on a driver visa is working as an engineer. The engineer then gets into trouble and the Indian embassy can't do much. Even skilled workers are taking up short projects in the Gulf, but this is being done at great personal risk," says Rejimon. The trend continues as it's easier to get a visit visa than an employment visa. ldquo;To get a proper employment visa, the Gulf based company has to stand in queue at their Immigration ministry and make a deposit with the government for each employee being hired, they don't want to do that," he adds. ldquo;There is an understanding between two countries when someone seeks employment,rdquo; says an official with the External Affairs Ministry. ldquo;There are preconditions that companies listed with the Government of India have to meet, such as people will be paid salaries above a fixed rate, there are rules about working hours and medical insurance, to name a few. These are not restrictions, but they are rules put in place to ensure the safety of the migrant. However, this increases the cost for the companies, and therefore many prefer to go through recruiting agents and hire workers on a tourist visa and donrsquo;t provide them with anything,rdquo; the officer says, adding that itrsquo;s not mandatory for companies to hire Indians only through the emigrant system. Agents flouting rules Information sourced through Right to Information from the Ministry of External Affairs reveals that the number of firms not showing returns have also gone up annually. Out of 1,451 registered recruiting agents, as many as 416 firms have not shown records in 2019. ldquo;These firms are doing business but not on record, itrsquo;s off the record. How else are they still paying office rent, bills and staff salary and renewing licenses worth lakhs?rdquo; asks Bheem Reddy, President of Emigration Welfare Forum. Recruiting agents have to pay Rs 25,000 for a registration certificate valid for five years to the PoE and provide a bank deposit guarantee of Rs 50 lakh. MoE officials are aware that registered recruiting agents subvert the emigrant system, but only go after unregistered recruiting agents, say activists. According to the emigrant website, the PoE in Telangana has recorded only 15 unregistered agents operating in the state with Tamil Nadu recording 22, Andhra Pradesh 14, Kerala 24, and Karnataka 13 unregistered recruiting agents. But what about registered recruiting agents like the one who got Posanna recruited on a tourist visa to Dubai? The agent is known to the family and was someone the family trusted. The agent who has since passed away, used to report to another agent who had ties to other similar agencies functioning out of Hyderabad, says Ganaga. Bheem alleges that these registered recruiting agents are working as sub-agents for big agents in Mumbai, Hyderabad and their business is recorded in the licences of big players. ldquo;The small agents sitting in a rural area cannot deal with foreign employers, but they keep a licence so as to not attract trouble from the police. All the recruiting is done purely based on commissions,rdquo; alleges Bheem. He points to the Immigration Act under which no agent can appoint sub-agents. ldquo;No middlemen are allowed, even if they are licence holders,rdquo; he adds. A porous yogajaHad Posanna gone through the emigration system, he could have availed the PBBY scheme, a mandatory insurance scheme for those who have an emigration check for overseas employment. The scheme was launched in 2003 and last amended in 2017, it provides an insurance cover of Rs 10 lakh in case of accidental death or permanent disability with very low premiums. The scheme also has global medical insurance coverage of up to Rs 1 lakh (up to Rs 50,000 per hospitalisation) irrespective of employer and location. The scheme also has a repatriation cover for medically unfit or premature termination, with a one-way economy class air ticket or reimbursement. Even legal expenses on litigation apart from other benefits are part of the scheme. Medical insurance under PBBY is provided only to those who find employment through the emigrant system. Between April 2014 to December 2018 medical insurance companies under the PBBY have settled just 812 claims in tune of Rs 63.3 crore whereas the insurance firms have collected Rs 80 crore as premium. Indian migrant workers like Posanna when opting for a tourist visa become ineligible for medical benefits under the scheme. The recruiting agents do not inform them of the benefits either. The PoE office in Hyderabad says they provide advice only to those who approach their office. Posanna was made aware of PBBY only after he returned back to India spending for his own flight ticket which would otherwise have been free under PBBY. He managed to meet initial expenses while at UAE with help from fellow migrant workers. However, upon coming back, his hospital bills touched Rs 1 lakh in just four days. The PBBY scheme would have covered that as well. The family, however, managed, thanks to the Telangana governmentrsquo;s Arogya Shree health insurance scheme for below poverty line families. The family today is in a worse state than before Posanna left for Dubai for work and now struggles to make ends meet.

This is the third in a three part article of my trip from London to Bangalore.
After getting off my flight from London, I had a horrible headache courtesy my disturbed sleep on the flight. Our plane seemed to have parked at almost the last gate at the terminal and the transfer security was on the other end of the terminal.
(Read our review of Etihad’s A380 here.)
After a very long walk, I reached the transfer security hall, where there was only one x-ray and one body scanning line open. The line was being run by a super rude Filipino guy who was going out of his way to be rude to every passenger who came through the scanner.
Aside from the rude security assistant, one scanner for an entire A380 load of people (assuming ours was the only flight being transferred at that time) is definitely not enough especially with the tight connections Etihad sells. Fortunately since I was one of the first to reach the security check I was through in about five minutes but as I was leaving, the line had grown massively.
The transfer security exits into the duty free area, from there I proceeded to the connecting gate which was half way back in the direction I had just come.
Boarding
Since it was nearing the boarding time printed on the boarding card, I skipped the lounge and headed straight to the gate. I reached the gate about five minutes after the printed boarding time and boarding had not yet begun. After waiting for another 20 minutes, the gate agents finally started calling boarding – a full 25 minutes after the printed boarding time. Nothing annoys me more than an airline forcing everyone to come to the gate early and then not start boarding, if you print a time on the boarding pass then stick to it.
When the agents called boarding, they called priority boarding and I was the second in the queue. After scanning the boarding pass of the lady in front of me, they announced to the queue that the business class bus had not yet reached. Another agent then came down the line asking passengers if they would like to take the bus which was waiting now or wait for the separate bus (which is the same type of bus, just to be used only by business class passengers).
Not surprisingly everyone I saw chose to get on the bus already at the door. The bus drove us to our A320 which was parked near the end of the airport.
Abu Dhabi (AUH) to Bangalore Kempegowda International (BLR).
EY 286. STD 02:40 STA 08.15. All times local. 17-Jul-17.
Airbus A320. Seat 2F.
I boarded via the front door and was greeted at the top of the stairs by one of the cabin crew and escorted to my seat.
Cabin and Seat
The A320 we were flying on had been refurbished with the new Etihad colors. The aircraft has four rows of business class seats in a standard 2-2 arrangement. I found the seat to be sufficiently wide with a lot of leg room. The seat also has a decent recline and foot rest. Upon taking my seat, I was quickly offered a drink. I took a lime and mint juice. I was also asked what drink I would like after takeoff.
The center armrest holds the fold out screen for the IFE which has a reasonable selection of content with Etihad’s older entertainment system. The system can be controlled with a remote stowed in the opposite armrest. Unfortunately being a fold out screen, it must be stowed for taxi, takeoff and landing.

IFE remote.
After boarding completed, the pilot came over the PA and announced that due to congestion over Oman, pushback would be delayed. The aircraft began it’s push back 20 minutes after the scheduled departure time. After pushing back, the aircraft taxied towards the main taxiway and stopped.
We then waited on a cross taxiway for another 25 minutes while other larger aircraft taxied past and took off – it would have been interesting to know why our flight had low priority to take off was it just because we were in a smaller aircraft or are all flights to India lower priority or was the tower just waiting for a slot since we would have missed our original departure slot. We took off about 50 minutes after our scheduled departure time.
Food
Soon after takeoff the steward returned with my drink order and took down my dinner order and asked when I would like to dine. I requested him to bring my dinner after an hour which was done almost to the dot.
My first course was virtually identical to the flight from London, but missing the excellent bread. Again the mezze plater was average with nothing to write about.
The main course was a grilled chicken breast which had some flavour but was about as soft as a hockey puck.
The dessert was a chocolate cake with raspberry compote which was very good.
Overall, I found the meal service on Etihad to be strictly average, though their chocolate desserts are very good.
Through the dinner service and the entire flight I found the service to be excellent. The crew were attentive, quick and infectiously cheerful.
The rest of the flight proceeded uneventfully and we landed at Bangalore slightly after our scheduled arrival time.
Customer care response to pick up problem
I wrote to Etihad customer care as requested by the station manager in London, explaining the problem with the chauffeur pickup. After writing to them in July, I finally got a response at the end of September.
Their reply stated very unapologetically said that since I was a single passenger the airline policy is to only provide a sedan. So despite both the customer call center and London call center confirming that I would receive a mini van for the pickup – Etihad cannot guarantee that commitment. Because of which they are not responsible for the failure in the pickup.
Now I am ok with Etihad only providing a sedan to pick up a passenger, but I would have appreciated being told about that when I requested a bigger car. For the call center to confirm the mini van orally and then to be told that a van cannot be guaranteed is just bad customer service in my opinion. I think it just reflects the current state of Etihad that cost cutting is a higher priority than the passenger experience.
Overall
I enjoyed my flight on Etihad’s A320. The airline needs to look at an updated hard product for it’s business class with narrow body flat bed options on the rise, Etihad should be looking at one of these options sooner rather than later. While the food onboard was strictly average, the service was great.
I found overall experience on Etihad to be reasonably decent. While I am personally not a very a very big fan of the hard product on the A380, it is a very solid product and service across both the legs were good. However that being said Etihad’s cost cutting spree is beginning to show when it comes to the passenger experience. Etihad needs to be careful not to slip into the service level of the pack of the European carriers.
The airline definitely needs to improve it’s transit experience and customer care which are both sub standard.
