In the past weeks, we covered how Cathay Pacific is actively fighting tier members of other frequent flyer programs, preventing them from adding the number and receiving elite benefits before reaching the airport.

I now have a new reservation, issued on American Airlines ticket stock, from Tokyo via Hong Kong to Bangkok and while I was able to enter my BA Emerald number, Cathay wasn’t willing to let me select seats.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on LoyaltyLobby.
