If you’ve got Hong Kong or other cities in Asia on your travel Bingo card, we have great news. There’s some great award availability to Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific, flying you to Asia in style and comfort.

Award Deal — Details

With these awards, you’ll fly on Cathay Pacific from both the West Coast and East Coast to the airline’s home base in Hong Kong (HKG). The airline has a renowned business-class product, thanks to great service from the crew.

  • Class: Business
  • Routes: Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), and Seattle (SEA) to Hong Kong (HKG)
  • Dates: July to September 2027
  • Rates: As few as 91,000 miles plus $207

Unfortunately, this alert is best for solo travelers and couples, as availability is limited to just 2 seats on most dates.

The best availability comes from the Cathay loyalty program, though you will find a few dates with availability through partners. For these, redeeming Finnair Avios provides the best price.

Cathay Pacific’s website doesn’t offer a monthly view of dates to help you track down these awards, though you can see a weekly view. That’s where using a tool like Seats.aero — where we found this deal — can help, as you can compare multiple routes and dates at once.

Flying from Los Angeles (LAX) or San Francisco (SFO), you’ll pay 91,000 miles per person each way, plus about $208 in taxes and fees. Total flight time to Hong Kong (HKG) from either city is just over 14 hours.

Since cash prices for these flights are over $4,500 per person, booking with points and miles is definitely the way to go.

Best Ways To Book

Booking directly with Cathay Pacific will yield the highest number of results. You’ll pay 91,000 miles plus around $207 to $218 in taxes and fees, depending on the departure airport.

How To Get These Miles

You can transfer points from multiple programs to Cathay Pacific at a 1:1 ratio, including Bilt Rewards Points, Capital One miles, Citi ThankYou Points, and Rove Miles. Amex Membership Rewards points transfer at a 5:4 ratio. Other options include 3:1 transfers from Marriott Bonvoy and 3:2 transfers from Brex Rewards.

That makes the Bilt Palladium Card (rates & fees) an excellent option for earning Cathay miles. The card earns up to 1.25x on rent and mortgage spending and 2x on everyday purchases (offer terms). These points transfer 1:1 to Cathay for booking award flights.

Final Thoughts

If you’re heading to Hong Kong — or connecting through Hong Kong to another destination — awards are plentiful on Cathay Pacific for several months in the middle of 2027. Heck, maybe you weren’t planning to go to Hong Kong, but seeing this award put it on your radar. If so, you’ll want to book sooner rather than later.
