Why Cathay Pacific remains a top choice for transpacific travel
Founded in Hong Kong in 1946, Cathay Pacific has long been a major connector between North America, Asia, Europe, and the South Pacific. Its hub at Hong Kong International Airport offers wide connectivity and smooth transfer options.
What sets Cathay apart is its mix of service, dining partnerships and premium cabin design. The airline works with Michelin-rated chefs for inflight menus and offers curated regional dishes in economy on certain departures from Hong Kong.
Recently, Cathay began introducing the Aria Suite on select long-haul Boeing 777-300ER flights. These business-class suites include closing doors, large 4K screens and upscale bedding and amenities.
- Cathay flies to more than 100 destinations.
- Major U.S. gateways include Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Chicago and Boston, with Seattle added in recent seasons.
- Premium cabins feature Michelin partnerships and high-end amenities.
How to earn Asia Miles quickly
Asia Miles is straightforward to earn through flights, credit cards, hotel partners and lifestyle partners.
Flying and airline partners
- Earn on Cathay Pacific flights and Oneworld partners such as American Airlines and British Airways.
- Non-Oneworld partners also include several global carriers.
Credit cards and transfer partners
- U.S. consumers can build Asia Miles with co-branded cards and transferable points programs.
- One U.S. credit card currently advertises a large welcome bonus and higher earning on Cathay purchases and dining.
- Major transferable programs allow moving points into Asia Miles for award travel.
Hotels, dining and other partners
- Convert hotel program points into Asia Miles from chains like Hilton, Marriott and Hyatt.
- Earn by dining with participating restaurants and via retail and lifestyle partners in Asia.
Smart ways to redeem Asia Miles for maximum value
Asia Miles can be redeemed for more than flights, but premium cabin awards often deliver the best value.
Signature redemptions travelers often pick
- First class LAX–HKG (round-trip): Around 250,000 Asia Miles for a rare, ultra-premium experience.
- Business class East Coast–Hong Kong (round-trip): Approximately 230,000 Asia Miles for lie-flat comfort across the Pacific.
- Business class U.S.–U.K. on British Airways: One-way and round-trip pricing can be competitive; some redemptions have shown great value versus paying cash.
- Economy Miami–Lima (round-trip): Roughly 30,000 Asia Miles, a cost-effective option for short international trips.
Stretching miles inside Asia
From Hong Kong, short international flights offer strong value. Typical round-trip rates from Hong Kong:
- Economy: ~9,000 miles each way
- Premium economy: ~20,000 miles each way
- Business class: ~28,000 miles each way
These levels let you add stops in Seoul, Singapore, Bangkok, Penang, Langkawi and similar destinations without spending a fortune in miles.
Hotels and shorter stays
Asia Miles can also book hotel nights. Midrange hotel redemptions in Hong Kong often fall in the 29,000–30,000 miles per night range.
Practical tips for booking and award availability
Keep a few strategies in mind when planning Asia Miles redemptions.
- Search Cathay’s award calendar to spot long-range availability.
- Asia Miles balances often unlock premium award seats that other programs may not show.
- Use transfer partners to top up balances for specific redemptions.
- Flexibility with dates and departure airports improves your odds of finding space.
