Great information ! Thanks for documenting. I was trying similar way but with some cards but seems like astana match to ethiad is no longer I am using https://www.statusmatch.com/members/ to check for more options but could not find any possibility.
Is there any way from any major hotel elite status to any major airline status match ? @aakashgupta

hey, even i saw that it is no longer possible to match air astana's status with etihad... let me dive deep into this and find more info. I will let you know if there is any other offer that would let you match a hotel status with an airline.
1. Royal Air Maroc (Oneworld Alliance) – Paid Status Match
- You can only match to Silver status (equivalent to oneworld Ruby) through hotel loyalty programs.
- This provides basic airline perks such as priority check-in and preferred seating on oneworld airlines.
- Higher tiers like Gold (Sapphire) or Platinum (Emerald) require an existing airline status. Hotel status alone won’t qualify for these.
2. Qatar Airways ⇄ Accor Live Limitless
You can match status between Qatar Airways Privilege Club and Accor ALL.
Here are the terms and conditions:
- You must link your accounts before completing any activity.
- A Qatar Airways flight is required to unlock the Privilege Club status if you're matching from Accor.
- An Accor hotel stay is required to unlock Accor status if you're matching from Qatar Airways.
- Status is not granted instantly — it’s activated after the qualifying flight or stay.
- Names on both accounts must match exactly.

3. Royal Jordanian (Oneworld Alliance) – Paid Status Match
- You can only match to Silver status (equivalent to oneworld Ruby) through hotel loyalty programs.
- This provides basic airline perks such as priority check-in and preferred seating on oneworld airlines.
The application fees are USD $149 for Gold Sparrow tier and $49 for the Silver Jay tier, unless otherwise stated.
To be eligible, the status holder must also live or reside in the listed countries and hold ID documents such as a passport or driver's license for the eligible country.
Eligible countries that are subject to change are: Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Iraq, Italy, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Netherlands, Oman, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, UAE and UK.
If you live outside these countries, you're not eligible .
These are all for now, but I will keep researching and will keep you updated.

Thank you for sharing these details. Appreciate it. I also checked with Emirates via chat, they confirmed it's possible to match with airastana tiers to emirates but it's one less tier than astana. They referred to statusmatch for any confirmation. But however I did not see lot of value in getting silver status as I am planning to travel in business or first class & it's gonna be one time for now which covers most of the silver privileges. But thanks once again for the post.

You can easily match to Silver using GHA DISCOVERY Platinum or Titanium, which in turn is accessible if you hold a Mastercard World/World Elite card (e.g., HDFC Infinia Credit Card) via Mastercard x GHA status match offers.
- Higher tiers like Gold (Sapphire) or Platinum (Emerald) require an existing airline status. Hotel status alone won’t qualify for these.
