Current Transfer Bonuses

Notes: Known for the best way to fly First Class to Europe on Lufthansa with no surcharges and other good deals. Also see: Downsides of LifeMiles program

[Possibly Targeted] Estimated transfer time is 48 hours. Etihad recently devalued their program in a pretty big way including the inability to prevent miles from expiring without flying a paid Etihad flight. However, you can use the miles to book American Airlines flights which can present good value in some situations. Note that you can also book the fabled Residence (3 room suite) from 300,000 Etihad Guest miles, though you need Etihad status to do so.

Transfer 1000 to 10,000 miles and get 20% Bonus Miles on each transaction.

Transfer 10,001 to 50,000 miles and get 30% Bonus Miles on each transaction.

Transfer 50,001 miles and above and get 40% Bonus Miles on each transaction.

Remember that Etihad Guest recently devalued and miles expire after 1.5 years. We advise against a speculative transfer.

Best for booking Cathay Pacific metal long haul premium flights which may only be made available to its own members. Also great for booking long haul in a premium cabin with a short connection in a lower class of service which prices the entire trip lower than just the primary premium long haul segment.

For other oneworld flights, other programs (like the new Finnair Avios award chart) may be better, especially when there are transfer bonuses to other Avios programs.
