Etihad Airways and TAP Air Portugal have launched a new frequent flyer partnership that allows members of both airlines’ loyalty programs to earn and redeem miles across the two carriers.
This new step builds on the 2023 codeshare agreement between the two airlines, which expanded flight options between Europe, the Americas, Africa, and the Middle East.
With this partnership, Etihad Guest members can earn miles when flying with TAP Air Portugal and use those miles on flights, hotel stays, shopping, or holidays via the Etihad Guest Reward Shop. Similarly, TAP Miles&Go members can earn and spend miles on Etihad Airways flights, accessing routes including destinations like Chiang Mai, Medan, and Hong Kong.
This means travelers can earn miles on a flight from Abu Dhabi to Lisbon and use them on trips to other destinations, such as Saadiyat Beach.
“It’s very exciting to be able to offer our TAP Miles&Go members the possibility of redeeming their miles with Etihad flights across a range of attractive destinations,” said Pedro Flores Ribeiro, Director TAP Miles&Go. “We also welcome Etihad Guest members to discover TAP Air Portugal network and our warm Portuguese hospitality and service.”
“We’re delighted to launch our frequent flyer partnership with TAP Air Portugal, offering our members even more ways to earn and redeem their miles across the airline’s network in the Americas, Europe and Africa,” commented Mark Potter, Managing Director Etihad Guest. “We’re devoted to expanding our Etihad Guest offering and rewarding our loyalty members wherever they travel. We look forward to welcoming TAP Miles&Go members on Etihad Airways and offering them the ability to earn or redeem their miles when they choose to travel across our expanding network.”
