Things you need to know about Etihad Guest in 2024

Major Revamp in June 2024: The program underwent a significant relaunch in June 2024, introducing new ways to earn and redeem miles.
Earning Miles: Tier Segments are gone! You now earn Etihad Guest Tier Miles only. Miles can be earned through flying Etihad or partner airlines, as well as non-flying activities like credit card spending (depending on the card). To qualify for elite status, you need to meet a minimum threshold of flying miles alongside total Tier Miles.
Redeeming Miles: Award redemptions on some popular routes for economy and business class have seen a decrease. You can choose from different perk packages at each elite tier (Core, Custom, and Beyond). More custom perks come with higher tiers.
Other Changes: Miles can no longer be extended through inactivity. Flights are the only way to extend them now. Award cancellation now incurs fees ranging from 25% to 75% of redeemed miles.
