A few months ago, Cathay Pacific ran a promotion offering mileage rebates on award tickets of certain types, and now it’s back.
You need to register on the promotion page first.
- Eligible destinations: China Mainland, Taiwan and selected Asian cities
- Book your award tickets by December 31
- Travel periods: January 5 to February 7 and February 23 to March 31
- Redeem 1 sector to receive a 10% miles rebate, 2–3 segments for 20%, or 4 segments or more for 30%
All CX destinations in mainland China and Taiwan are included, other eligible routes being Bangkok, Cebu, Denpasar (Bali), Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Penang, Phnom Penh, Phuket, Singapore, and Surabaya.
Note that connections are not allowed. For example, Beijing – Hong Kong – Singapore must be booked as two separate tickets if you want to take advantage of this offer.
There’s also a parallel promotion for paid tickets:
- Round-trip flights departing from Hong Kong only
- Tickets must be purchased on the official website by December 31, using the promo code CXFLYXMAS
- Travel periods: January 9 to February 11, and February 20 to March 31
- Earn up to 8,000 bonus miles depending on destination
- Limited to first 10,000 bookings
The exact bonus depends on how far you’re flying: 2,000 miles for destinations within Mainland China and Taiwan, 4,000 miles for most Asian destinations, and 8,000 miles for other long-haul routes.
The upside is that there’s no fare-class requirement—as long as it’s a paid ticket, you’re eligible. The downside is the cap of 10,000 participants, and note that you must book through the website; booking via the app does not qualify.
If you can make use of either offer, they are solid promotions, and you can also knock out tasks from the concurrent Rewards in the Air campaign to pick up even more bonuses.
