For example, an award requires 20k miles plus taxes. When redeeming online you can use the slider on the final page to bring it down to 15k miles plus a cash component plus taxes.

The rate per mile varies greatly depending on the class and route. I've paid around 350USD equiv for 22.5k miles removed for AUH-SYD in F, and about 130USD for ~3k miles removed for AUH-BEY in J.

You cannot purchase miles with EY.
Thanks Edy,

Am looking for CDG-AUH in F and need to top up about 25000 miles, so i guess i am looking at USD400?

Is there a chart published somewhere where i can be certain of how much is the cash component? If it is too much, i will look into alternative.

This is my first time flying Etihad and am thinking of transferring some Citibank miles over. Usually with SQ, but want to try a different Suites product for comparison.
