Customer journey Etihad Airlines

I recently flew with Etihad airlines to my great satisfaction, great airline and I do prefer it to the European legacy carriers. During traveling I constantly think about customer journeys, signposting, screens. Can't help it, it goes automatically. Also on this journey to from SPL to AUH to MNL, I thought of many small improvements, just I didn't store any screenshots or pictures. I decided to take pictures on my next journey with Etihad.   The Etihad customer journey to Bangkok in pictures Yesterday I booked another flight, again with Etihad . Different destination, so the customer journey may change a little (for example a "fit to fly certificate" is not needed), but I decided to make screenshots of all touch points until I have reached my destination.

Free newsletter on global retail & e-commerce I read a lot, really a lot on e-commerce, marketing, advertising, AI and technology, but I didn't had a way of sharing the best content I read. It's not really suitable in blog format and spamming everyone at LinkedIn is also not a very hospitable way. But now I started a substack (free of course). It's my place to share interesting content, just doing this for fun to share knowledge and to improve cross-border and cultural understanding.  I call it "AlexNews". Subscribe for free at substack and one of the advantages of substack is, that you can easily read all previous editions of the newsletter.   Thank you for subscribing!
