  • Coronavirus: Cathay Pacific closes three HKG lounges

    Feb 14, 2020, 07:28 PM

  • Purchasing Upgrades at Check In

    Jan 07, 2020, 02:46 PM

    Out of interest does anyone know if the purchased upgrades come with a higher points/status earn ? I'm guessing this is airline dependant but that would factor highly in my decision to upgrade alongside my personal comfort:flight time metric.
