I was travelling with Etihad Airways for the first time and experience was really bad. An amount equal to USD 790 was present in my baggage when I checked in. The same amount was stolen when I checked my bag at home.
I have logged a formal complaint to
baggageclaims@etihad.ae and no response is received as yet.
I am really concerned whether Etihad provide enough compensation to their employees so that they don't have to steal.
A friend of mine was travelling with me and both of his bags were tempered. He was lucky as no valuable item or currency was present in his luggage.
