Patrick NennewitzAugust 12, 2016If you have to stay here longer either buy a ticket to one of the Lounges in Terminal 1 (50$) or be sure to catch one of the comfortable arm chairs in the so called library right before Terminal 1

NmFebruary 5, 2016Elegant interior design .. Quite small compared to Dubai & Doha Airports .. Well-organized .. Etihad airways is the main operator for Abu Dhabi Airport ..

Christian NelsonJuly 18, 2017Get a comfy seat near the CR. And order some food and ask them to fill up your water bottle. They gladly do that. Don’t buy the junk they try to push on you, sleep while you wait for your transfer.

selfy oswariJune 6, 2013yes, toilet can be a problem here. sleep next to gate 31, toilets next to gate 32. get a blanket (free) from flight transfer desk, you just have to ask, and also the same for meal coupon.Upvoted 4 days ago
Kev HernandezJuly 30, 2013If you haven't tried camel chocolates (chocolate made of camel's milk), you can buy one at Duty Free or at the souvenir shops in the airportUpvoted Jan 10
Awais AnsariFebruary 4, 2018Though the airport isn't as humongous as the DXB airport, but still has a lot of cool things to do. Most importantly WiFi is accessible to everyone.
Mazen JamjoomAugust 13, 2018Small but nice, traveling to USA from Abu Dhabi is great idea. You can check in to USA while you are in Abu Dhabi. Very creative idea.
Waleed AlshehriSeptember 20, 2018Very nice clean and smooth procedure , officer 👮 and customs are friendly and smiling 🇸🇦🇦🇪
Sergey KuznetsovFebruary 2, 2016Free but rather slow WiFi. Terminal A has a great sitting area with chargers and sockets of all kinds and chairs with leg rests. Also halal McDonald's is superior to any other, try it.
Sofas near gate 21 are great for sleeping during long layovers. definitely better than Lounges.
ArJuN PMDecember 19, 2014Free wifi but too small a airport. Expansion is a must and soon.... Festive time & it is overflowing tbh.... Also more people to help/assist for directions wud help esp on arrival from Dubai via bus
•Hassan •Alkhamis ♐️October 20, 2016Although it's not a new one but they really care about travelers comfort and renovation. The only annoying thing is the shuttle buses which are used mostly instead of the airplane bridge channels.
If you're traveling during the Eid holiday, bear in mind that the airport is packed and there will be considerable delays before you reach your gate, so head to the gate right after checking in.
EmanApril 15, 2016Small cute airport that you go from the airplane to the city. Their taxis are the best.
Michael HoldsworthJuly 4, 2015Nice big airport, plenty of stuff around. If flying from the Etihad terminal, just go straight to the desk, there's no split at check in for individual flights. Nearly caught us out.
Naoki FerrioMay 1, 2024Every departure gate has its own prayer room. Food court was located on the top floor, they have burger King, Starbucks, McDonald's and Asian food (if u crave ramen go to the Fod Park).
Nikita RvachevJanuary 20, 2015LIFEHACK! If you have a long stop and fly with Etihad go to their reception and ask for FREE blanket, toothbrush and vaucher for breakfast and dinner. That awesome.
3bdulhadi ASeptember 7, 2023Getting Closer to home, one of the fast developed airport in term of facilities, Air-routs, services & importance. Never forgot that it got well publicized with The latest Mission Impossible Movie
Beautiful airport. Really clean. A lot of the gates have lounge chairs so be sure to grab them if you are here for a long halt
Sergey MartynovFebruary 28, 2023For a reasonable price of $60/80 (single/double) you'll get a tiny soundproofed room with a bunk bed equipped with a normal size comfortable mattress, good pillow and a nice linen set
Asabi GoodmanNovember 6, 2016Stand at the mobile phone charging stations to meet/ interact with interesting travelers.
EAl 🇬🇧🇰🇼🇪🇺🇩🇪🇪🇬🇦🇪🇶🇦🇺🇸February 5, 2019Don’t miss or delayed ur flight you want find anybody to help you , airport controled by some nationalty, they act like the manager of the head office they let you pay with big smile for their fault
Nicolas BregenzerAugust 20, 2014This airport is not the biggest you can arrive at but you find most of the stuff you need. If your in transit and have time, pay a visit to the Sheikh Zayed Mosque. You can get there quickly via Taxi.
Victoria LukeAugust 1, 2014If your layover is more than 4hrs apply for a transit visa or Europeans are eligible for 30 day visit visa on arrival. Not much to do here, although there are $15 p/h sleeping pods and showers!
Aya AtamedovaFebruary 18, 2024Quick, modern airport that is easily accessible from Dubai. Additionally, I car rental return process that is fast and efficient.
Praveen PaulsamyNovember 9, 2014The wannabe DXB does a good job of it. Has free wifi, of course - just ask the many help desks located around the airport. Has all the usual options for dining.
Visit Abu DhabiApril 25, 2013Winner of the 2012 World Airport Awards 'Best Airport in the Middle East'. Its Terminal 3, home of Etihad Airways, features an award-winning concierge style check-in. http://bit.ly/10uxK7g
Pretty nice airport, much smaller then Dubai and everything you’d expect is here...
Mateusz HerychMay 18, 2015Due to some visa issues this airport turned to be my home for almost 20 hours. It's not huge, but you can fly from here to simply everywhere. Good wifi. Lots of sleeping areas.
Caroline MuthambiriJanuary 2, 2015Unlimited free WiFi! Well organised and easy to navigate. If only they had power sockets in the sitting area...sucks to sit on the floor of the corridors to charge my laptop.
Paulo JacintoDecember 16, 2023You REALLY want to try the urban food market near gate D47. One of the friendliest places I have ever been
Max HegermanMay 21, 2013HUGE bottleneck at security when moving between international terminals - with no monitors to help mitigate the madness. Give yourself some extra time and keep your cool, my friend...
Neel MitraFebruary 10, 2014The old terminal is quaint, crowded and old fashioned in today's day and age... but there is also a certain charm to brick and mortar that glass and steel will always lack.
Emanuela ZacconeOctober 27, 2013The first place I've been in UEA: the structure is incredibly great! I have been in Abu Dhabi for #NokiaWorld 2013: did u miss it? Catch up with my Storify: bit.ly/NokiaWorldStorify
Farzad ParviziMarch 30, 2017Small airport compared to DXB (for now), wifi speed is ok and free,e-gate system is a bit confusing, register beforehand. Prices for beverages and snacks are high 💸. Duty free on arrival is basic.
Akash BhatiaMarch 9, 2014Beta test site for CBP's bullshit "pre-clearance" into the US (i.e. clear customs prior to entering the US). No Global Entry yet. US style security (shoes off). US CBP. Lovely experience. Go 'Merica!
Iri MakiJanuary 1Go up and take a place in coffee shop “% arabica”: you can watch the flight board from here and charge your phone (the socket is under the table)
Wadha AKA Wodi The LegendNovember 29, 2016The duty free is really big with a wide variety of restaurants. Check Boots pharmacy they always have good offers of the vitamin supplements.
Lars BriseidMarch 29, 2015Pay to get in one of the lounges in Terminal 1. It's worth the money. You can eat drink or even take a shower. Also Free WiFi is availble. Two hours cost 48 USD and 5 hours cost 78 USD
Its unbelievable, it doesn't look like an airport, looks like a resort, an oasis, or something like that. Still expanding and you barely notice it. The best airport I ever was.
Make sure you go to the lounge closest to your gate. There's a smaller lounge near terminal 1, with less food, but still with a spa. But it's a win cause it's less crowded.
Katherine M.February 23, 2013This is an amazing airport. Everyone is so friendly and the place is very clean. I wish it was practical to fly Etihad every time I travel.
Adam AzmNovember 4, 2013If you have a long transit and want to explore Abu Dhabi while saving your budget,ride A1 bus. It cost only 4 dirhams. From International airport to Abu Dhabi Airport City Terminal(last station).
Damian BayonaMarch 2, 2015If departing to JFK, passport control & customs are done in Abu Dhabi. Makes arrival simple but your departure needs at least 3 hrs for extra inspection. Spotty wifi
- Mateusz HerychMay 18, 2015If you need a visa to enter UAE but you only want to connect flights - no worries. Transit desk will help you so you can transfer your luggage and will issue you a boarding pass for an onward flight.
