Members of Etihad Airways’ Etihad Guest and South African Airways’ Voyager loyalty programs can earn double miles when flying with the partner airline through June 30. This limited-time offer celebrates the launch of a partnership between the two carriers’ frequent flyer programs and gives members an attractive opportunity to accelerate their rewards.
The partnership follows a commercial cooperation agreement signed in September 2013. That agreement established codeshare and interline services between the airlines and opened the door to closer operational coordination, improved connectivity for passengers, and shared efficiency initiatives.
Under the arrangement, members of either program can both earn and redeem miles on eligible flights operated by the partner airline. The number of miles awarded for each flight depends on the travel class purchased; higher classes of service typically earn more miles. Members should consult each program’s earning chart for exact accrual rates.
Etihad Guest members who want to redeem miles for travel on South African Airways must contact the Etihad Guest Service Center at least 14 days before the planned departure date to arrange reward bookings. Voyager members should check South African Airways’ Voyager terms for corresponding redemption procedures and any applicable advance-notice requirements.
Both programs recommend that members verify flight eligibility, mileage accrual rules, and blackout dates before booking, since terms and conditions for promotions and reward seats can vary. Promotional offers may be subject to availability and other restrictions.
If you frequently travel between destinations served by Etihad and South African Airways, this double-miles promotion provides a useful way to boost your balance faster. Be sure to confirm the promotional period, book qualifying flights, and follow the redemption procedures to make the most of the partnership.
