I flock like a moth to flame to any company that offers a club. It is why I signed up for the Etihad club and paid $500 for the privilege even though I had never flown Etihad before!
Sometimes my club fetish doesn't work out so well... like spending $200 to join a restaurant club where I didn't really like the restaurant.
But I'd say the Etihad club has paid off. First, the trip to Nepal was free. In less than two years I have accumulated enough miles to make 9 round-trip flights to Nepal for free. So even if I quit the club today I'm ahead.
The best part? I love the lounges. Airports suck. The food is way overpriced and the alcohol is insanely over-priced. (I paid $13 for a beer at the Dubai airport.) Being part of the Etihad club means free food/beer/wine. Plus free wifi. I don't fly much but that's an incredible perk.
That looks so much like the chick from Firefly!
