250% bonus Asia Miles for 2nd and subsequent London – Hong Kong trips in Cathay Pacific
If you're lucky enough to be able to fly revenue fares (as opposed to award tickets) between London and Hong Kong, consider this promotion by Cathay Pacific carefully if you're not in need of elite qualifying miles or tier points on other airline programmes.
Cathay Pacific are running a promotion whereby you earn 50% bonus for your first round trip in first or business class between London and Hong Kong, but then a 250% mileage bonus. This has been going for a few months already but has remained relatively quiet in the blogging world. The promotion is valid until 31st August 2013.
I flew Cathay's new long haul business class last November and can definitely recommend the experience.
There's also a 1000 mile bonus for joining Asia Miles, and another bonus for booking online* through their website — 3000 miles for first class and 2000 miles for business class.
Very handily they do the maths of the promotion for you:
Here are the Terms and Conditions of the promotion (bolding my own, and my comments in square brackets):
