DUBAI // Etihad Airways is giving away 10 million airmiles to celebrate the carrier’s 10th anniversary.
The prize is the equivalent of 27 London to Sydney return flights in the Abu Dhabi airline’s Diamond first class.
“As we celebrate our tenth anniversary, this competition is one of our biggest UAE consumer pushes ever and we have no doubt it will be a huge success just like the first 10 years of the airline,” said Peter Baumgartner, Etihad’s chief commercial officer.
“The earlier customers book their flight with us, the earlier they enter one of the weekly draws and the more chances they have of winning.”
To take part, customers must be UAE residents and book a flight for travel in March or April, enter their Etihad Guest number while booking and register for the promotion.
The winner of the 10 million miles will be drawn in May.
Another customer will receive one million Etihad Guest Miles and 30 runners-up will win 100,000 miles each. These will be drawn on a weekly basis during March and April.
Etihad Guest has 1.8 million members across 200 countries.
