[Expired] Save 10% On Cathay Pacific Award Flights for January 2024

Update:The offer mentioned below has expired and is no longer available.

A new promotion from Cathay Pacific offers the chance for flyers to save 10% on its Asia Miles award tickets. If you’re considering a trip to Hong Kong in January 2024 and plan to explore Mainland China, Southeast Asia, or Europe, this discount could be an excellent opportunity to save on flights.

Now, let’s delve into the specifics of this promotion.

Cathay Pacific Offer Details

Travelers can save 10% when booking one-way or round-trip economy award tickets through this Asia Miles promotion. Travel must occur between January 2, 2024, and January 31, 2024, and tickets must be purchased by December 31, 2023.

There are over 20 destinations that are eligible for the 10% discount, and all of them require an originating flight to/from Hong Kong.

Here are the routes eligible to/from Hong Kong:

• China — Chengdu, Kaohsiung, Nanjing, Qingdao, Wenzhou and Wuhan (valid for travel between January 2, 2024 and January 31, 2024)
• Other Asia destinations — Bengaluru (Bangalore), Dhaka, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Phnom Penh, Phuket and Singapore (valid for travel between January 6, 2024, and January 31, 2024)
  Europe — Amsterdam, London, Madrid, Manchester, Milan, Paris, and Zurich (valid for travel between January 15, 2024 and January 31, 2024)

Furthermore, customers who purchase travel insurance during the booking process can save an additional 10% off award redemptions on these specific routes for a total discount of 20% on awards.

Here are additional terms to be aware of:

• Valid on all applicable Cathay Pacific-marketed and operated flights
• Valid for travel from January 2, 2024, through January 31, 2024
• Award ticket must be booked through Cathay Pacific
• Valid for one-way and return tickets
• Book by December 31, 2023
• Mixed cabin travel is permitted, with the sector traveled in economy class
• 10% miles rebate will be credited to the Asia Miles member’s account within 6 to 8 weeks after the promotion period ends
• Taxes and fees still apply

Is It Worth It?

In general, this discount is quite appealing if you already intend to visit Hong Kong in January and have plans to fly to any eligible destinations. However, we wouldn’t advise booking award redemptions with Asia Miles solely for a 10% discount, unless these routes were already part of your travel plans.

Take a look at the flight example below: A one-way ticket from London (LHR) to Hong Kong (HKG) in Cathay Pacific’s economy cabin for January would cost 27,000 miles. Thanks to this promotion, you’ll only need to pay 24,300 miles with the 10% discount.

Perhaps you’d like to extend your stay in Asia and explore Singapore (SIN). You can easily fly there from Hong Kong (HKG) in economy class for just 10,000 miles. After applying a 10% rebate in miles, your cost would be 9,000 miles.

If you have Asia Miles to spare, it would be worth checking to see if any available dates or rates suit your travel plans.

Final Thoughts

This 10% off award sale is definitely worth a look, especially if you already have plans to visit Hong Kong to start the new year. As usual, do the math to see if this sale makes sense for you. If you were planning on booking a Cathay Pacific award flight on one of the eligible routes in this promo, this is a great opportunity to save some miles.
