Whenever I travel, I always book with the flag carrier of my country. But during a recent trip to Hongkong, I could not find a good deal with my country's flag carrier so the next best option is to book with the flag carrier of the country I am visiting.
Cathay Pacific was founded in 1946. The name Cathay was derived from the ancient name of China, "Khitan" and Pacific from the vision that one day it will fly across the pacific. I'm a big fan of everything online. I'm glad the online booking on the carrier's website down to online check in was fuss free.
Like any other airlines, Cathay Pacific has a frequent flyer program. Actually, they have two. The Asia Miles which is the travel reward program and The Marco Polo Club, also known as The Club, which is the loyalty program.
I had a wonderful experience with Cathay Pacific and vowed to book with this airline the next time I visit Hongkong, Macau or China.
