Asian carriers Cathay Pacific and Dragonair have announced a new deal with Asia Miles today, allowing passengers to accrue points in more economy classes.
The change, which will take place on 8 October, means that any passenger who travels in ‘S’, ‘N’ or ‘Q’ class is able to earn Asia Miles at 25% of actual miles flown.
The change is in addition to economy fare classes, which already earn 100% of miles flown.
James Tong, general manager revenue management, Cathay Pacific, said: “This is an exciting development that will make flying in economy class on Cathay Pacific an even more attractive proposition for our passengers.”
Patrick Yeung, chief executive officer, Dragonair, said: “Offering Asia Miles accrual in these three subclasses will complement the current suite of Economy Class fares that already earn miles at 100% of miles flown. We are happy to give more Dragonair passengers the opportunity to earn miles.”
Stephen S Y Wong, chief executive officer, Asia Miles, said: “We welcome this announcement by Cathay Pacific and Dragonair to provide more earning opportunities for our members. Asia Miles has 21 airline partners, and increasing the number of fare classes where Asia Miles can be earned means our members can earn and redeem miles quicker. This will help to reinforce Asia Miles’ position as the travel reward programme of choice for our 5.3 million members worldwide.”
