Berlin to Abu Dhabi on return to Australia, on A330 with 2x4x2 seat configuration. Late flight out at 8.55pm with slight delay 20+ minutes on departure from Tegel. Air Berlin offers extended/extra leg room seats for additional cost on this aircraft but not made aware of this till after flight, and not available on codeshare with Etihad, neither is seat selection for this section. Used Air Berlin a number of times and found service and efficiency to be good. We had a good experience with ground staff at Tegel check-in as the Taxi dropped us off at the incorrect terminal, the check-in staff at terminal provided excellent service in checking us onto the flight and arranging second leg seating. This allowed us to walk over to the correct terminal and drop off check luggage only avoiding a reasonable wait at the general check in - big thumbs up to Air Berlin ground staff. Flight was up to expectations and free of any issues or hassles. The service was very good and the food was slightly better than on Etihad, amenities well maintained and refreshments served throughout flight. Overall very good flight and would use and recommend Air Berlin in future.
