Etihad Airways and Vietnam Airlines have announced a new frequent flyer partnership, enabling members of each carrier's frequent flyer programs – Etihad Guest and Lotusmiles – to earn and redeem points across both airlines' networks.


The partnership – effective July 1 – follows the signing of  Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in October 2024 that started the collaboration between the national airline of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Vietnam-based carrier.


Etihad will launch a new, six-times weekly service to Hanoi starting November 3.


“We are pleased to offer our members even more ways to earn and redeem their Etihad Guest miles, rewarding guests for every extraordinary travel experience,” said Mark Potter, Managing Director, Etihad Guest at Etihad Airways. “Complimenting Etihad’s launch of flights to Hanoi from November this year, this partnership gives our members access to Vietnam Airlines’ impressive global network, offering members more destinations across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and domestic Vietnam.”  


Potter further stated: “We look forward to welcoming Lotusmiles members onboard Etihad soon, to experience our signature Emirati hospitality and earn and redeem their miles with us, one adventure at a time.”


Nguyen Sy Thanh, Director, Lotusmiles at Vietnam Airlines added: “This collaboration will offer Lotusmiles members greater opportunities to earn and redeem miles across an extensive global network, including destinations in North America and the Middle East. It also ensures a seamless and rewarding travel experience, delivered with world-class service from both airlines.”
