I tried to do this.  You can't transfer them (I had them via a credit card but I have Gold so I get in anyway), and they just go to waste.  I rang the customer service center to see if I could transfer.  Bit of a waste hey?

I need the brains trust here... Trying to book family of 4 to Europe mid year. Happy to pay economy & use points to upgrade HOWEVER Velocity only upgrade to Abu Dhabi and that route is out from April to 26 July. I have 260k Velocity, my husband 180k and AMEX that can be converted over at 37...

Can anyone tell me if there are hairdryers in the Etihad Business Class lounge in Abu Dhabi? Will be desperate for a shower by then, and just want to know if I can avoid lugging my hairdryer in my luggage. Thanks!

Crazy isn't it?  And the luggage holding service is not the cheapest either.
