Etihad Guest Miles

Earning Etihad Guest Miles is simple and straightforward. As a member, you will earn miles every time you fly with Etihad Airways, one of our partner airlines or when you use any of our wide variety of non airline partners ranging from retail chains, hotels, leisure partners and more. With so many options to earn miles, it’s easy to build up a bank of Etihad Guest Miles, which you can redeem for flights or any of the exciting array of rewards in our Reward Shop. To make your miles grow faster, take advantage of our special promotions and regular partner offers.

Class Bonus Miles
In addition to the basic mileage you earn, we reward you generously with bonus miles for travelling in our premium classes – 50% bonus for Pearl Business class and 100% bonus when you fly in Diamond First class.

Tier Bonus Miles
To reward loyalty, Etihad Guest Gold and Silver members will receive even more Etihad Guest Miles. A bonus of 50% and 25% respectively on the miles flown on all Etihad Airways flights.

Etihad Guest Tiers
When you join, you will be part of the base tier - Etihad Guest. Based on your flight activity with Etihad Airways, which will be measured in Tier Miles or Tier Segments, you can progress upwards through Etihad Guest Silver to Etihad Guest Gold. The more frequently you fly with Etihad, the sooner you will advance to higher levels of membership where you can enjoy exclusive benefits and greater recognition.

Etihad Guest Tier Miles
Tier Miles are earned every time you fly on an eligible flight with Etihad. They are the actual miles flown on Etihad Airways plus any applicable Class Bonus Miles earned. Tier Miles are not earned for transactions with partners. As the name suggests, Tier Miles help you move up to a higher Tier. The number of Tier Miles you earn depends on the distance you fly and the cabin you fly in. Tier Miles cannot be redeemed for Rewards.

Etihad Guest Tier Segments
We have introduced Tier Segments to accommodate guests who travel frequently to short-haul destinations. Tier Segments are earned at a rate of 1 Tier Segment for each flight made in Coral Economy class, 2 Tier Segments in Pearl Business class and 3 Tier Segments in Diamond First class.

To earn Etihad Guest Miles, remember to quote your Etihad Guest Number when you book or fly Etihad Airways or use the services of our partners.
