Now through July 29, 2014, Etihad is accepting applications for status matched for Etihad Gold Status. Techincally this is only for Australia residents (but who says you can’t register with an Australia address, and then always change it later).

• Enjoy Business Class check-in, priority boarding and fast track at immigration
• 15kg additional baggage
• Guaranteed Economy Class seat on the flight of your choice if you book within 24 hours
