Cathay Pacific Airways will change the criteria for awarding miles and status points starting August 20.
The segment for flying distances between 751 miles and 2,750 miles, including routes in Japan, will be divided into two, making a total of six segments. Points and miles earned in Economy Class ‘Light’ will decrease. Most other segments remain unchanged, and there will be increases in premium classes and others.
On the Tokyo-Hong Kong route, there will be an increase of 1,500 miles and 15 points for First Class, 1,000 miles and 10 points for Business Class, 500 miles and 5 points for Premium Economy and Economy Class ‘Flex’ and ‘Essential,’ and a decrease of 100 miles and 1 point for Economy Class ‘Light’ with booking classes M, L, V.
For tickets issued by August 20 and departing on or after that date, the higher amount of miles and status points will be awarded. Adjustments for shortages may take up to 30 days.
After the revision, for round trips between Tokyo and London in Economy Class ‘Essential’ with the lowest booking class ‘O,’ members can earn 83 points and 8,600 miles.
Members are awarded Silver status with 300 points, Gold with 600 points, and Diamond with 1,200 points based on annual points earned.
