It’s always great to see new reciprocal frequent flyer agreements, especially among airlines that don’t otherwise have many partners. So along those lines, here’s a new collaboration that’s worth being aware of.
So for situations where Cathay Pacific’s fares are too high, or award availability is too limited, having access to rewards on another airline based in Hong Kong is great.
For example, I recently flew Hong Kong Airlines’ A330 business class within Asia. I would’ve preferred to fly Cathay Pacific, but there was no award availability and fares were astronomical. So I found a reasonably priced ticket on Hong Kong Airlines… I just wish the opportunity to earn and redeem Etihad Guest miles had been around then.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
