What happened
Etihad Guest, the loyalty program of Etihad Airways, has launched a new frequent flyer partnership with Bangkok Airways’ FlyerBonus program. This reciprocal arrangement allows members of both programs to redeem their miles for award travel on the other airline's network. Etihad Guest members can now redeem miles for flights on Bangkok Airways, accessing leisure destinations in Thailand and Southeast Asia such as Koh Samui, Luang Prabang, and Siem Reap. Conversely, Bangkok Airways FlyerBonus members can redeem points to explore Etihad’s global network, including new destinations like Palma de Mallorca, Krakow, and Salalah via the Abu Dhabi hub. The partnership coincides with Etihad’s expansion in Southeast Asia, including the introduction of its flagship A380 on the Bangkok route starting in October to increase capacity ahead of peak winter travel
