Cathay Pacific is celebrating its 80th anniversary with discounted fares and bonus mile-earning opportunities.

To take advantage of these deals, you’ll need to book by September 15, 2026, but there’s a lengthy travel window that runs through the end of the year, depending on your destination.

The discounts are available only for a limited number of bookings, so let’s get right to the details so that you can take advantage of them quickly!

Cathay Pacific Promotion Details

Cathay Pacific is offering a variety of discounts across cabins and destinations when you purchase round-trip travel between now and the end of the day September 15 and fly between September 10 and December 10, 2026.

Flight discounts:

  • $188 off on business class (first 80 tickets only): Code CX80USBUS
  • $168 off premium economy (first 80 tickets only): Code CX80USPEY
  • $80 off to Hong Kong (first 2,200 tickets only, any class): Code CX80HKUS
  • $88 off beyond Hong Kong (first 950 tickets only, any class): Code CX80US
    • All Cathay Pacific and Hong Kong Express-operated destinations are included in the booking conditions.

Flights must originate in Boston (BOS), Chicago (ORD), Dallas (DFW), Los Angeles (LAX), New York (JFK), San Francisco (SFO), or Seattle (SEA).

Further, Cathay program members can earn up to 1,946 bonus miles on their booking. New Cathay members can earn 1,080 bonus miles when signing up here. Members can earn an additional 866 bonus miles if their membership number contains the numbers 8 or 0.

The first 100 customers to book will also receive 28% off their next eligible round-trip economy flight, valid for departures between January 8 and May 23, 2027.

You can view full terms and conditions of all anniversary promotions on the booking page here.

Is It Worth It?

While these fares could be objectively solid, you’ll want to compare them to prices that other airlines are offering if you’re planning on flying to Asia. Is the price with Cathay lower than what other airlines offer on a similar route with the same number of stops and the same amount of travel time?

If you’re weighing the addition of a 15-hour layover to your trip to save a few bucks, it might not be worth it.

Hot Tip:

When paying for your ticket, use a credit card with extra rewards on airfare purchases to maximize your spending.

Final Thoughts

Until September 15, Cathay Pacific flyers can take advantage of bonus miles and discounted fares across all cabin classes, though the discounts are limited to a specific number of tickets sold.

Discounts vary by destination and cabin class, so you’ll need to do the requisite research before booking. But if you want to book a trip to Asia, this sale is definitely worth checking out!
