Etihad Gold, Dragonpass Prestige & Lifetime GHA Platinum for joining A Small World

Today let’s talk about a niche membership programme – A Small World (ASW).

A Small World is a paid membership scheme. There are multiple membership levels you can choose when signing up, and they come with benefits including hotel / airline status, award miles and more importantly, “member-only exclusive events”.

I have no idea how those events are like and I didn’t find much information online either, so let’s focus on the airline / hotel benefits today.

There are four different levels:

And from my point of view, there are two opportunities here.

Lifetime – Pay €390 and you get lifetime GHA Platinum and Sixt Gold. It doesn’t sound too bad, especially the former which comes with solid benefits when you stay at hotels.

Prestige – the annual fee is definitely not cheap. However, the 250,000 award miles is worth around €3,000 already, and whether the remaining benefits are worth €2,200 is anyone’s opinion.
