Etihad Guest was among the least popular options on the Canadian side. Few members transferred their points to this program, which justifies the removal.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Furthermore, the Etihad Guest program has a mixed reputation among seasoned travelers. Cancellation policies for award tickets are among the most restrictive in the airline industry. High fees, limited windows: few aspects encourage speculative transfers.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-les-options-qui-restent-pour-voler-avec-etihad\">Remaining Options for Flying with Etihad<\/h2>\n\n<p>Good news: the end of the direct partnership does not completely close the door to Etihad flights with your Membership Rewards. Several workarounds still provide access to the airline&#8217;s network. Here are the main avenues.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-transfert-via-marriott-bonvoy-vers-aadvantage\">Transfer via Marriott Bonvoy to AAdvantage<\/h3>\n\n<p>You can transfer your Membership Rewards to <strong>Marriott Bonvoy<\/strong>, then convert those Bonvoy points to <strong>American AAdvantage<\/strong>. AAdvantage then allows you to book Etihad flights, particularly in business class and first class.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The cumulative ratio remains unfavorable, but the option exists for premium itineraries that are difficult to find elsewhere.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"component component__deferred_contents wp-block-milesgutenberg-deferred-contents\">\n\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\tdata-template='m-h'\n\t\t\t\tdata-post_type='card'\n\t\t\t\tdata-per_page='4'\n\t\t\t\tclass='deferred_container--preload container_card container_template--m-h container_count--1'\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-tag=\"card_id\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-post_ids=\"267909\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-utm=\"wpb\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t<div class=\"card\">\n\t<div class=\"card--grid\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"card--img-outer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card--img\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-card\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"card--title-offer-selling\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card--title-offer\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card--selling-points\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar shimmer-bar--short\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar shimmer-bar--short\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar shimmer-bar--short\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"card--apply\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"apply-btn\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-btn\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/aside>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-transfert-vers-aeroplan\">Transfer to Aeroplan<\/h3>\n\n<p>Air Canada Aeroplan <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/rewards\/etihad-airways-aeroplan\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"11084\">lists Etihad among its airline partners<\/a>.
