Business class awards on Cathay Pacific between New York JFK and Hong Kong are wide open starting in August and running through end of schedule. Space beyond Hong Kong is generally very nicely available.
Now’s the time to lock in those business class awards to Asia for later in the year.
ANA first class availability, booked far in advance, is outstanding right now. And it’s accessible using miles from a variety of programs — in the Star Alliance and through other airline partnerships as well. They offer one of the best and most consistent first class products in the world. It’s not as flashy as Emirates or Etihad, but the service and food are fantastic.
The Chairman of Star Alliance airline Asiana’s parent Kumho Asiana Group is being accused of sexual harassment as the ‘#metoo movement’ spreads to South Korea.
Park Sam-koo reportedly goes to the airline’s Seoul headquarters “on the first Thursday of every month to cheer on flight attendants.” He says he ‘receives energy’ by doing this.
Politicians in Malaysia want to crack down on ‘sexy’ flight attendant uniforms. However they’re not looking to empower women, they’re looking to hide women.
Using promotion code BLACKFRIDAY there are two great fares right now on Singapore Airlines from the US to Asia.
Flights from Newark and New York JFK or from Los Angeles to Kuala Lumpur and back from Bangkok start at $287 right now. Travel is on United and Star Alliance member ANA via Tokyo.
Kuala Lumpur is one of my favorite cities in the world. It’s probably my favorite food city, from satay to prawn mee to amazing roti.
And I’m giving away a 3 night weekend stay at my favorite hotel in the city which has great views of the Petronas towers. Oh, and the room comes with club lounge access too.
American Airlines usually offers terrible — meaning absolutely no — premium cabin saver award space on its own planes.
Their pattern though is to occasionally dump award space that remains open for a day or two. So you need to pounce when it’s there.
Cathay Pacific launched its new US credit card back in February. It’s issued by Synchrony Bank.
Initially the signup bonus on the card was 25,000 points after $2500 spend within 90 days. Cathay Pacific let me know that they’re now running a limited-time offer of 50,000 points after $2500 spend within 90 days
For a decade it was unheard of to see roundtrip fares to Southeast Asia for under $600. I don’t even bother sharing fares to Europe unless they’re under $500… preferably under $400. There was a time these would be presumed to be mistake fares. Airlines would have claimed they were mistake fares. Now they’re just a good fare sale, the kind of thing that pops up now and again if you’re watching.
