As a frequent economy long haul pax (UK - Oz 3-4 times pa - is this frequent?) Etihad gets my vote . As already posted elsewhere I am impressed with their Guest airmiles system. Express check in and security screening, business class lounge access and priority luggage when travelling economy keeps my patronage. What more do you want? Food is fine and IFE has worked to date. Can anyone beat that after only 30000 miles or so?
