Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Etihad launches a 2-4-1 flight sale across all classes

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

Etihad is running a 2-4-1 sale at the moment which continues until tomorrow night.

You can travel until 30th November. 

Deals are available in all classes and include (per person, based on two travelling in Business Class):

  • Abu Dhabi £1,506
  • Bangkok £1,533

Etihad 2-4-1 sale

  • Singapore £1,765
  • Hong Kong £1,737
  • Phuket £1,734
  • Seychelles £2,111

Availability seems OK.  Even over October half-term (out 25/10, back 3/11) I could find Abu Dhabi at £1,572.  Remember that you need to search for 2+ passengers and that the price shown by the Etihad website is for all of you, not per person.  I was confused by that at first ….

My review of the impressive Business Studio seat on the A380, which is what you will get flying from Heathrow, is here and is pictured above.  There is also a dedicated page on their website here which explains it in more detail.

Your best option to maximise your miles when paying is American Express Preferred Rewards Gold.  This offers double points – 2 per £1 – when you when you book flight tickets directly with an airline.  Our review of Amex Gold is here.

How to earn Etihad Guest miles from UK credit cards

How to earn Etihad Guest miles from UK credit cards (December 2024)

Etihad Guest does not have a UK credit card.  However, you can earn Etihad Guest miles by converting Membership Rewards points earned from selected UK American Express cards.

Cards earning Membership Rewards points include:

Membership Rewards points convert at 1:1 into Etihad Guest miles which is an attractive rate.  The cards above all earn 1 Membership Rewards point per £1 spent on your card, which converts to 1 Etihad Guest mile. The Gold card earns double points (2 per £1) on all flights you charge to it, with any airline.

    @Leo I thought you’re a firm believer OTs should be marked as such? 🙂

  • Rob says:

    Er, yes, ‘cos that’s where the Joburg deal in this article comes from 🙂

    • Shoestring says:

      Aha. Got it! Must have scanned that bit.

      • Hilary Hughes says:

        Last month we did a 15 India tour with Intrepid. £1200 was paid with Clubcard vouchers. Had the best time ever.

  • Hilary Hughes says:

    *15 day

    OT curve linked to IHG. Is spend limited to small amounts? Tried to put through £1k and was rejected

    • Grant says:

      Would a £1k transaction mean you are bouncing off daily / 30 day / 365 day limits?

      • rams1981 says:

        No, comfortably within limits. It is to top up an isa so i guess it could be being viewed as a cash transaction?

        • TGLoyalty says:

          If it’s viewed as a cash like transaction nothing more than £300 at a time and I think only a couple a week.

    • MarkH says:

      Depends what kind of transaction IME.

      For payments to Brighton based firm then yes anything over £200 generally gets rejected but normal spend is fine in larger amounts (assuming not busting curve limits)

  • Susan says:

    OT Am trying to sign up for aer club so can credit an imminent (Friday!) United flight to something useful for me but despite being able to sign into my Aer Lingus account every time I try to then join aer club I get a message “this account has already expired”. I’ve tried all the advice on Flyertalk but still no further forward. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks

  • CF says:

    The BA 2 for 1 to JNB seems to have been extended to book by 3 March 2019. How do you find availability as I can’t seem to get any? Do you have to keep trying different dates or is there a way to see when the promo is available?

    • Rob says:

      It was all very random to be honest. You need to search for two people, you need a 7 day stay and you are looking for ba.com dates where the outbound shows at £900ish.
