Cathay Pacific has launched Miles Plus Cash, a new payment option designed to offer customers more flexibility when booking travel. 

The new payment option allows customers the flexibility to pay using a mix of Asia Miles and cash when booking seats on its website. Starting March 30, 2021, Cathay customers will not only be able to purchase tickets using Miles, but will also earn further miles and club points on their tickets.

With Miles Plus Cash, customers can book any available seat option on any flight – including on partner airlines – with the benefit of instant confirmation. This offers business travellers significantly more choice in terms of seat availability, with a minimum of just 5,000 miles required.

“We understand that international travel is currently subdued, but I fully anticipate that once conditions improve there will be a huge demand to travel again,” says Cathay Pacific Director Customer Simon Large. “We believe that this new ability, to use Miles to pay for seats and have instant confirmation, will be extremely valuable and popular. We are always looking for ways to make both earning and burning Miles simpler and enabling customers to have more flexibility. Miles Plus Cash is an excellent example of this. It is a very useful function that we believe makes travel planning and purchasing a whole lot easier and opens up a great way of using those Miles, and then earning more for future purchases.”

After selecting a flight and seat on cathaypacific.com, there is an easy-to-use slider bar that now allows customers to decide exactly how many Miles they wish to spend – ranging from a minimum of 5,000 miles to the entire ticket purchase. This allows for maximum flexibility and for business travellers to get their loyalty miles to truly work for them.
