Etihad Guest members will now receive one AirRewards Point for every two Etihad Guest Miles

Etihad Guest, the loyalty programme of Etihad Airways, has partnered with Air Arabia’s loyalty programme AirRewards, to allow members of both schemes to benefit from reciprocal points and miles transfers.

When transferring miles, Etihad Guest members will now receive one AirRewards Point for every two Etihad Guest Miles.

In a statement, Etihad said that Etihad Guest Miles can now be redeemed for Air Arabia flights, meals and baggage. Etihad Airways head of Loyalty and Partnerships, Kim Hardaker, said: “This partnership will provide both Etihad Guest and AirRewards with the opportunity to significantly broaden the travel reach, rewards and programme benefits for our respective members. The collaboration is designed to both engage with new customers, while further improving the benefits for our existing loyalty members.”
