Mandarin Oriental and Etihad Guest, the loyalty scheme of Etihad Airways, have teamed up to allow their frequent customers to rack up miles through hotel stays.
The airline's frequent flyers can earn 500 miles for an eligible stay in a regular room and 800 miles in a club room or suite at participating Mandarin Oriental properties. Etihad Guest Gold and Gold Elite members will benefit even more with upgrades as well as early check in and late check out.
Another chance to earn miles comes from booking the chain's "Luxury Breaks", which runs until April 15. Members receive double miles for standard room categories and triple miles for suites.
The airlines flies directly to many of Mandarin Oriental key locations such as London and Hong Kong, while Mandarin Oriental hotels are expected to crop up in Abu Dhabi, Etihad's home base, as well as in Doha.
