Etihad Guest Launches Frequent Flyer Partnership with Bangkok Airways

Etihad Guest, the award-winning loyalty programme of Etihad Airways, the national carrier of the UAE, has launched a new frequent flyer partnership with Bangkok Airways’ FlyerBonus programme, enabling members of both loyalty programmes to redeem rewards when travelling across either airline’s network.

Mutual Redemption:
- Etihad Guest members can redeem miles for Bangkok Airways flights to leisure destinations like Samui, Luang Prabang, and Siem Reap.
- FlyerBonus members can redeem points for Etihad’s global network, including Palma de Mallorca, Krakow, and Salalah.

Expanded Connectivity:
- Etihad has added new Southeast Asia routes (Krabi, Chiang Mai, Phnom Penh, Hanoi, Hong Kong).
- Direct flights from Abu Dhabi to Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi, and Chiang Mai.
- From October 2026, Etihad will deploy its A380 on the Bangkok route, offering The Residence, First suites, Business class with direct aisle access, and upgraded Economy cabins.

Loyalty Flexibility:
- Etihad Guest Miles can be redeemed for flights, upgrades, hotels, holidays, and shopping.
- FlyerBonus members gain access to Etihad’s extensive international connectivity while enjoying Bangkok Airways’ boutique service.

Strategic Significance
This partnership strengthens Etihad’s presence in Thailand — one of its most in-demand leisure markets — while enhancing loyalty value by giving members more redemption options across regional and global networks.
