If you’ve got Hong Kong or other cities in Asia on your 2025 Bingo card, we have great news. There’s fantastic award availability to Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific, flying you to Asia in style and comfort.

Here are the details you need so you can get booking.

Award Deal — Details

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

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

Cathay Pacific Asia Miles doesn’t offer a monthly view of dates to help you track down these awards, though you can see a weekly view. While that feels limiting, the good news is that you can’t throw a rock without hitting available awards from April to June 2025 — though that could change as people start booking these seats.

Flying from Los Angeles (LAX) or San Francisco (SFO), you’ll pay 84,000 miles per person each way, plus about $159 in taxes and fees. Total flight time is around 15.5 hours to Hong Kong (HKG).

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

These awards are also available through Qantas Frequent Flyer, though available dates are about half what you’ll find booking through Cathay directly. With Qantas, you’ll pay 104,500 points per person, so Cathay presents the best option. Unfortunately, the websites for American Airlines and Alaska Airlines aren’t finding these awards right now.

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

Final Thoughts

If you’re heading to Hong Kong — or connecting on your way to somewhere else — awards are wide open on Cathay Pacific next spring. Heck, maybe you weren’t planning to go to Hong Kong but seeing this award put it on your radar. If so, enjoy!
