💡 Insider Tip
American AAdvantage (transfer from Citi) and Alaska are among the cheapest ways to book Cathay business. Prices for each programme are in the points table above. Cathay releases the most partner space 2-3 weeks out and again close-in - our scanner catches these windows. HKG is a superb connecting hub for onward Asia travel. This route showed consistent real availability in testing.
