Anyone try Cathay Pacific before?

[Spurman]

Do you need to pay extra for changing the flight? Or they waive off since you missed the flight due to unforeseen weather circumstances.

No extra charges...

For CX, if you want to have notification via email or SMS on flight status, have to sign up for their notiFLY service on their website.

Best to subscribe their newsletter too. They hv special fare with promo code from time to time. They will email its link with promo code to its email subscribers. Cheaper than those CX-credit card promo.

 

I flew to BKK at only sgd168 nett per pax in May. And my friend fly to BKK this coming Dec at sgd178 nett per pax. I gave her the link n code as she's not a subscriber.

OK. Thanks.

 

They have been sending me emails but the deals are for HK departures and in HKD, so I did not pay attention.

 

Maybe I need to check the country setting.

At least you receive sms.  My CX flight to BKK was delayed for 1 hr plus too last month.  But I didn't receive any sms.  I only knew upon checking in at the counter.

My last trip with them was in May to Korea. Delayed for 7hrs but it was for a valid reason (engine problem) so I valued my safety over the delay. As the saying goes: Better be late than never. Quite drama, the koreans were already protesting at the airport. The HK Police had to be called in. 

 

I think it's all luck. I took SQ to Korea last year, also delayed 2-3 hours. Best thing, it was abt to take off and it was towed back. *sweat*

was thinking Cathay or SQ to HK since both having promotion 2 weeks ago, booked SQ in the end.

If both SQ and CX are at the same price, I would take SQ too. SQ still has that little touch that just edges CX.

 

But if CX is $50 cheaper, I'll take CX. Even though SQ accepts NS50 vouchers. 

[Dleodleo]

maybe sms also delayed

LOL
