I traveled and given india , if you exit the airport and starting your journey again then probably UAE. For me my RTPCR took from airport so India

Just wanted to check how long was ur transit in Abudabi? How long to get back the results of RTPCR test done at Abudabhi airport ? Is a layover of 5 and half hour enough. Trying to book tickets but wanted to be sure based on anyone who has travelled. Thanks

5 hours is enough boss. Mine was also 5:30 hours. I contacted them before leaving to Canada to make sure the transit time they said minimum four hours needed for doing RTPCR.
In reality what happened for us was we reached Abu Dhabi around 5:45 am local time. When we reached the testing area it was between 6:15 - 6:30 am and there was a long queue waiting for us. And finally test was done around 7:45-8 am. Our flight from Abu Dhabi to Toronto was scheduled @10:50 am but result didn’t came on time for many passengers and they delayed flight for more one hour and finally started at 12:05 pm.
what they said was- they won’t start the flight until they give the result of all passengers who did the test.

how much was the ticket cost? seems like Ethiad is charging way higher fees for transiting through Abu Dhabi to Canada

I booked on August 25th for the October 11th ticket and it cost me just 44k. I don’t know how much they are charging now.

Some agent mentioned that I might not get the results for the RTPCR at the Abu Dhabi airport within a layover of almost 5 hours. However, I would like to reconfirm whether 4 hrs 55 mins is enough for an rtpcr at Abu dhabi.
The route would be Mumbai-Abu Dhabi-Toronto.

Is this layover time enough for things to go smoothly?

I'm planning to travel to Toronto from Mumbai via Abu-Dhabi on the 17th of December.
Is there anyone travelling on the same date and same route?

That agent is lying to make you buy his ticket. In every single flight, Etihad makes sure that everybody gets their test results. They wont start flight even if one person's result is delayed. And results take only 2 hours anyway. Book directly from Etihad website, dont involve agents.

I've booked with Etihad Airways. My flight is on 9 December, with about a 7-hour layover at Abu Dhabi airport. My travel is from Amman, Jordan, and I'll do the PCR test at the airport in Amman 3-5 hours before my flight to UAE. Do I have to take another PCR when I arrive in Abu Dhabi?

@winlife Not questioning your response, however may I ask if its from your personal experience or from some of your friends / family who recently travelled this route? Thank you for your response.
