Cathay Pacific
Asia Miles
Asia Miles is the currency of Cathay's loyalty programme, a oneworld member with a Hong Kong hub and a distance-based award structure on many partner routes.
Cathay's own premium awards and multi-carrier oneworld itineraries are the traditional strengths of Asia Miles redemptions.
Earning Asia Miles
Miles accrue on Cathay and oneworld flights, co-brand cards across Asia-Pacific, Asia Miles retail partners and dining programmes.
Redeeming Asia Miles
Redemptions cover Cathay flights, oneworld and non-alliance partners, multi-carrier awards, upgrades and lifestyle rewards.
Expiry rules
Asia Miles have historically carried a defined validity period rather than pure activity-based expiry. Confirm with Cathay.
Transfers and pooling
Cathay supports buying, gifting and pooling miles under programme rules, and several bank programmes transfer in.
Buying miles from Cathay Pacific
Cathay sells Asia Miles directly through its website with periodic promotions.
Where the value sits
Distance-based partner pricing makes Asia Miles relatively straightforward to model on long multi-segment itineraries.
