The saga continues. Etihad cancelled my flight again. Spent another three hours on chat just to fill out a form for a possible refund. Managed to get a ticket through Singapore for this Saturday. Hoping that works now 🤞🏽

They do A380 to AMS. That's pretty dope. I love flying with the A380. Etihad has either the 777 which is [expletive] or the A320 which is a very good flight. Good cabin too. Plus I think I'm almost platinum? Could use the miles. A380 though. Hmm... I wonder if they're doing the A321 yet.

Good morning from Heathrow where my flight is delayed but where Etihad provides a good cup of coffee.
