Last night I wrote about some incredible first class fares that Cathay Pacific published between Portugal and Hong Kong. You could fly from either Lisbon or Porto to Hong Kong via London (or in some cases other gateways) for $1,500 one-way. The intra-Europe…
These fares aren't quite as good as the first and business class fares we saw recently from Vietnam to North America a couple of weeks ago, but this is otherwise the best Cathay Pacific first class fare that I've seen in years. Cathay Pacific has $1,500…
Happy New Year all -- by now you will have seen the news that Cathay Pacific has decided to honour their 'special' deeply discounted business and first class fares between Vietnam and North America. That means there will be plenty of you travelling on…
On New Year's Eve/New Year's Day (depending on where in the world you are), Cathay Pacific had some insanely low premium cabin fares for travel originating in Vietnam. For example, from Vietnam to the US, you could fly roundtrip in business class for…
Yesterday evening I wrote about how Cathay Pacific published some insanely low first and business class fares for travel originating in Vietnam. For example, from Vietnam to the US, you could fly roundtrip in business class for under $700, or roundtrip…
Earlier I wrote about the amazing Cathay Pacific business class fares from Vietnam to North America. Well, it appears it gets even better. You can fly roundtrip first class for only marginally more. You can fly from Hanoi to Vancouver for just $988 roundtrip.
Hurry, this deal most definitely won't last. At the moment Cathay Pacific has insanely low business class fares from Vietnam to North America. There's availability through the end of the schedule, and there's no minimum stay requirement for these fares.…
I'm generally a big fan of Cathay Pacific, though there are some areas in which they've historically lagged. One of those areas is wifi. Cathay Pacific has offered wifi on their A350s since they started taking delivery of them a couple of years back.…
Cathay Pacific has just launched a "Black Friday" sale that has the potential to be pretty lucrative. You can save $1,000 off the cost of a business class ticket or $500 off the cost of a premium economy ticket when you use promotion code HOLIDAY. Here…
Yesterday it was announced that China Southern will be leaving SkyTeam as of January 1, 2019. This is something that has been rumored for a long while, though many wondered if it would ever happen. What's interesting here is that China Southern is leaving…
2018 has already seen several major airlines suffering data security breaches. Recently, I've written about: -- In August, Air Canada forced all users to change their app passwords, following the theft of a relatively small amount of passenger data (about…
Earlier I wrote about how Cathay Pacific's arrivals lounge in Hong Kong will be closing permanently. This isn't the only lounge that will be closing soon (at least for some amount of time). Cathay Pacific has announced that their Shanghai Pudong Airport…
For several years Cathay Pacific has operated a landside arrivals lounge in Hong Kong. The lounge is located between Terminals 1 & 2, and it's called "The Arrival." The lounge is open daily from 5AM until 12AM, so it's not intended solely for those landing…
To increase ancillary revenue, some airlines have begun selling lounge access to passengers without status, travelling in economy or premium economy, who would not have otherwise had access, including: -- Emirates selling access to their business class…
Cathay Pacific's newest US gateway is Washington Dulles. The airline launched flights between Hong Kong and Washington Dulles as of September 15, 2018, and operates the route 4x weekly. Cathay Pacific has had a conservative growth strategy, so any new…
There's no denying that over time the role of flight attendants has changed around the world. Going back a few decades, even US airlines only hired young, attractive, and typically female flight attendants. Over time that has changed, and most definitely…
Well that didn't last long! Just five months ago, on May 2, 2018, Cathay Pacific commenced non stop services from Hong Kong to Copenhagen, as part of a major European expansion which also included new services to Dublin and Brussels. The flight operated…
Planes undergo maintenance all the time, and undergo heavy maintenance every few years. During this time it's normal for airplanes to be repainted, both so the planes look "fresher," and also to reflect any updated branding the airline may have. For…
At the moment, the US American Express Membership Rewards seems to have a targeted transfer bonus to Cathay Pacific Asia Miles. You'll want to log-in here to see what kind of a bonus you're targeted for. There's no expiry listed, so if you are interested…
Called it. ;) Earlier I wrote about how Cathay Pacific hinted at how they'd soon launch a new flight to the US. They narrowed it down to nine cities for us, and just now they've announced what that new route will be. Cathay Pacific will launch 4x weekly…
Several days ago I wrote about a strange trend with Cathay Pacific business class award availability. Historically Cathay Pacific has been pretty good about making business class award seats available, both far in advance and also close to departure.…
