Awards are not free. Most (to all) have real taxes and some to many have cash to large cash co payments.
What is attraction of Air Berlin and/or Etihad?

Yes, I know there are no free flights, and I know that I can credit points to other airlines and not only to the one I'm flying.
There's no attraction of Air Berlin or Etihad. Etihad will be work related flights and I cannot chose a different airline. Air Berlin seems to be the only airline to which I could credit Etihad and Oneworld points. If that makes sense I don't know because I don't know with which airline I'll be flying privately in the future.
