| Frequent Flyers
Cathay has two loyalty programs in place for its
frequent flyers, the Marco Polo Club and Asia Miles. So, what's the
differance. |
 |
 |
|
| Simple. The Club is an
exclusive Loyalty Programme offering a wide range of benefits to
our most valuable and frequent passengers. Asia Miles is our Travel
Reward Programme, allowing members to earn Asia Miles towards free
flights, upgrades and companion tickets.
The Marco Polo Club
|
|
For over 30 years, The Marco Polo Club (The
Club) has ensured that Cathay Pacific's most valuable frequent flyers
experience optimum comfort and convenience - before, during and after
every flight. Below, we will give you a brief overview of the
many privileges that Club members enjoy !
Exactly what benefits will I enjoy as a
member of the Club?
There are four levels - or tiers - of
Club membership, each based upon travel frequency. As a new member
of The Club you will automatically be enrolled as a Green Card member.
Basically, the more you travel, the higher the tier you can reach -
resulting in improved benefits. The four tiers are Green, Silver, Gold and
Diamond. As a Green Card member you can look forward to the
following benefits:
- Advance seat reservation
- Preferred Check-in (designated Club counter)
- Early Check-in (Hong Kong only)
- Automatic membership of Asia Miles travel
reward programme (where relevant)
- 24-hour multi-lingual global Member Services
Centre
- And much, much more!
Tell me more about the tiers
To progress to a higher tier all you have
to do is travel on Cathay Pacific or any oneworld alliance airline.
The equation is simple: the more you travel, the higher the tier -
resulting in additional benefits and special privileges. Upgrading
to a higher tier and renewal of Club membership are based upon your travel
patterns. For example- as you can see from the chart below - to upgrade
from Green to Silver Tier, you will need 30,000 Club miles or
20 Club sectors, whichever comes first. |

| "What's
the difference between Club miles and Club sectors?"
Generally speaking, if you tend to fly
long haul then Club miles is the best way to maintain and upgrade your
tier status within The Club. However, if you make frequent short haul
trips it is more likely that you will qualify through Club sectors, as in
the following example: |
 |
 |
|
|
| Asia Miles |
|
| Asia Miles allows
you to earn miles doing exactly what you normally do-such as flying,
staying at hotels, spending on your credit cards, and much more. The Asia
Miles you earn flying with Cathay Pacific and other programme partners can
be exchanged for free flights, upgrades and companion tickets. |
