As the passenger traffic is likely to peak, the Abu Dhabi-based airline offered travel tips for a smooth, convenient journey:
>> Check the requirements for your destination
With travel restrictions changing frequently, Etihad asks passengers to check the latest updates on its website before the journey begins.
>> Verified to Fly? Visit the website’s ‘Manage my booking’ section to share Covid-related travel documents.
The approval will be shared by e-mail, giving passengers confidence that all required documents are in place. This will also fast-track airport check-in at the ‘Verified to Fly’ desks.
>> Check in online and arrive early
During peak times, the Economy Class check-in for non-US flights opens four hours before departure and closes one hour before. Business and First Class check-in closes 45 minutes before departure. For US flights, check-in closes two hours before the flight. Boarding for all Etihad Airways departures closes 20 minutes prior.

Given the significant increase in passenger numbers, Etihad will relocate check-in for Economy Class guests on the following flights to Terminal 1 on October 15: EY653 to Cairo (CAI) EY2317 to Riyadh (RUH)
