Rewarding your Conscious Choices

Air travel has a negative impact on the environment and lots of work still needs to be done across our entire industry. 

But we know that many people would like the opportunity to make their own 'positive' choices in their daily life. Etihad's own strategy uses the philosophy of 'a million little things' so we've put together a list of options which we believe can help overall. Small things – like taking less baggage on board or offsetting a flight can have a positive effect, so as part of our Etihad Guest Conscious Choices program, you’ll earn a badge and Etihad Guest Tier Miles. 

You’ll find the badges you’ve earned in your account summary.

Ready to take the first step? Choose receive a digital kit when you’re eligible and earn a Digital Adopter badge and 500 Tier Miles. You’ll still get the same benefits, but everything you need will be digital, and you can access your membership card on the Etihad Guest app.

Less baggage, fewer emissions

Less weight on board results in less fuel burn. Even though fuel analysis data can't calculate exact reductions per passenger per flight, we know this has an overall reduction in emissions and we want to encourage that. 

In our program, you will be rewarded every time you pack a bit lighter on board.

As well as bonus Tier Miles, there are three baggage badges to earn. Carry less than 15kg of baggage and earn a Perfect Packer badge. Pick a hand baggage only fare and earn a badge. Or pack like a pro and take no checked baggage at all to earn a Lite Traveller badge.

Can you earn them all?

We're committed to preserving the planet for future generations and inspiring travellers to explore the world responsibly through cleaner aviation initiatives and partnerships.

Notes

1. Disclaimer: when traveling with Etihad and engaging in 'environmental activities', such as supporting tree planting in the Etihad Mangrove Forest or an offset with CarbonClick will not make Etihad's operations more sustainable. Etihad provides these options to travellers who wish to customise their experience with ecologically focused ancillaries, but customers should be aware that this does not make traveling on Etihad Airways a more sustainable option over our competitors. The initiatives we undertake as an airline in our Sustainability strategy are shared mitigation options available to all airlines, and where Etihad is supporting the development of specific solutions, we are commited to making our research and findings available for the entire industry.

2. Disclaimer: Purchasing or engaging with Etihad's products will not make Etihad's operations more sustainable nor reduce the direct environmental impact of your flight. Etihad provides this information to travellers who wish to be informed of the various actions Etihad has taken in product and service development, but customers should be aware that this does not make traveling on Etihad Airways a more sustainable option over our competitors. The initiatives we undertake as an airline in our Sustainability strategy are shared mitigation options available to all airlines, and where Etihad is supporting the development of specific solutions, we are commited to making our research and findings available for the entire industry.
Etihad does not claim or report any carbon offsets purchased by our guests, whether via this site, CarbonClick Climate Friendly Traveler, Etihad Reward Shop or Etihad.com Booking Flow (or anywhere it may offer this solution) against any compliance framework, scheme or roadmap. Carbon Offset purchases do not improve the environmental credentials of the airline nor directly reduce the impact of a flight on the environment. Carbon Offsets are an option to 'balance' ones own carbon emissions/footprint from the choice of flying with an additional activity which has a 'positive' effect. The intention to 'balance' environmental impacts should not be assumed to neutralise or erase any emission or impact from Etihad's operations.
