Cathay Pacific’s premium economy is ideal for long-haul flights if you don’t want to fork out for business class.
The loyalty scheme
“Cathay” is the new loyalty program,replacing Asia Miles and Marco Polo Club. Members earn points when flying Cathay Pacific,Oneworld Alliance airlines and select partner airlines.
Carbon emissions
For this flight,1.66 tonnes. Fly Greener is the airline’s carbon offset program. Since 2007,more than 160,000 tonnes of CO2 offsets have been purchased,the equivalent of 30 million taxi journeys from downtown Hong Kong to the international airport.
Checking in
There’s nobody ahead of me in the premium economy line at check-in,nor at immigration and security,so I’m through to airside within 15 minutes.
