Etihad Guest miles aren’t extremely valuable for redemptions but they often have some good value when using them for upgrades. You can use them to fly in First Class on the 787…

Or why not try the Apartments on the A380…

Obviously, it only makes sense to transfer points to the program if you use it regularly or are using it for a certain redemption. I’m Gold with Etihad and have a bunch of miles just sitting there. The sweet spot in the program is Europe redemptions like Brussels Airlines to the U.S.
