Etihad Holidays joins Etihad Guest loyalty program in the UAE

The Etihad Guest miles can be earned for the full value of any Etihad Holidays package and are in addition to the miles members earn for the flight component.

Customers who are not already a member of the program can also immediately join Etihad Guest at the time they purchase the holiday.

Peter Baumgartner, Etihad Airways' Chief Commercial Officer, said: "We are delighted to announce that Etihad Guest members can now earn and spend miles when purchasing Etihad Holidays packages. Linking our loyalty program with Etihad Holidays will significantly benefit our customers and further reward them for being an Etihad Airways customer. Members can use their miles to redeem products in the Etihad Guest Reward Shop or towards an Etihad Holidays package or gift voucher."

Etihad Holidays packages can be purchased at a range of retail locations across the UAE:

Etihad Airways and Etihad Holidays outlets can be found in Abu Dhabi in Madinat Zayed, Marina Mall, Al Wahda Mall, Khalidiyah Mall, Abu Dhabi Mall, Hilal Bank, and Etihad Plaza Khalifa City A.

The airline's shops in Dubai are located at Chelsea Towers on Sheikh Zayed Road and at Dubai Marina Mall, and in Al Ain at its town office and at Bawadi Mall.
