Other Middle East and Africa Frequent Flyer Programs - Etihad: FLY for HALF the Miles

Cool. Just noticed the 50% off redemptions @ Etihad Guest.

Redeem your Flight Rewards for much less this season. From February 12 to May 31, 2008, you can redeem flights to a host of destinations on our worldwide network at half the miles that you would normally require – that’s an amazing 50% discount!

The offer is available on all our routes except the following: Amman, Bangkok, Dhaka, Dublin, Kathmandu, Manila.

Conditions:
• Flights must be booked and flown before May 31, 2008
• All miles – no part cash / part miles payment allowed

Bugger! There just had to be a few good exceptions. :rolleyes: Anyhow...

Go to Etihad's Reward Shop (https://www.etihadairways.com/etihadairways/global/en/guestrecognition/visitor/join/Login?siteId=LL&loyRedirectUrl=%252Feai%252Fgrp%252FGRPRedirect.do %253FformCode%253DGRPForm%2526formCommand%253Dlogi nRedirect).

That IS an amazing 50% discount! Too bad I don't have enough miles to travel anywhere. :mad:

They also have a deal at the moment to earn double miles on any flight (except the same destinations as listed above). Details can be found at https://www.etihadairways.com/etihadairways/global/en/guestrecognition/visitor/doublemiles.htm ^

looks good, however, seems to me that their booking system does not allow u to book a round trip with legs in different classes as you could do with EK for ex, nice feature when you want to use miles for part of the journey, eg one way C, and one way in Econmy with mile upgrade to Business. Correct ?
