Cathay Pacific’s loyalty program has just added some noteworthy restrictions when it comes to changing your frequent flyer number on reservations, and it’s something that some flyers won’t be happy about…
In terms of enforceability, this presumably applies primarily for actual flights on Cathay Pacific, since that’s what Cathay Pacific has control over. Meanwhile Cathay Pacific has no mechanism by which it can enforce this when traveling on partner airlines (though that’s not to say that the airline couldn’t somehow punish members, in theory).
This isn’t totally different than how the Alaska Atmos Rewards program has restrictions on switching frequent flyer program numbers, though the details do differ a little bit.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
