USDo not use them for any bookings Do not use them for any bookings; they took my points and canceled my flight. Never refund points back. When I called them, they said we are investigating you, and your points will not be refunded. This is absurd. I worked four years to earn those points, and they are just rubbing you. Horrible company, please be aware they don't care about customers.

SAThey don’t follow their own policies on… They don’t follow their own policies on refunds.I cancelled a booking within hours but they didn’t refund the miles used - only the tax. Their policy says they offer a full refund for members when they cancel within 24 hours.

SGNew Year Ruined by Flight Cancellation My missus and I were in Hongkong from 26 Dec 2023 to 31 Dec 2023. We flew with Cathay Pacific and . Our return pm flight was cancelled and rescheduled to 1 Jan 2024 7.50am. As it was over New Year, we had to fork out $400 to extend our stay for 1 more night. We were not happy with the Best Western hotel but as the online bookings were taken up hither and thither for the New Year festivities, we had to bite the bullet and decided to spend 1 more one night at same accommodation. We could not enjoy the New Year celebrations as the roads were closed until the morning of 1 Jan for the countdown and firework and we had to get up at 4am to take the first train to the airport. We lodged our complaint officially on 30 Dec 2023 and seek a reimbursement from Cathay Pacific for the hotel extension which was more than doubled the usual rate. The airline acknowledged receipt of the request but never came back with a reply. It has been 4.5months now.

GBTrying to give this company cash for an… Trying to give this company cash for an upgrade is impossible. Have 9 seats booked for august 24 from London to Vietnam. We want to upgrade to premium economy or business class and have tried every way possible to do this without using the bidding function for the last leg of our journey. Have tried the whats app function that says to do it online, online says to call or message. Messaging takes forever and eventually they hang up. Finally got to speak to someone who quoted wrongly (£2100.10 for 9 passengers to upgrade to business class) clearly that was wrong which i had to call out, they checked and it was. They then didnt know how to check for upgrades as part of our flight is operated by hong king air, but ended up saying it wasnt possible but they themselves didnt know why and they couldnt get hold of a manager to help. So far wasted 7-8 hours of my time trying to sort this, would be cancelling if i wouldnt lose the money as im really not looking to the flight given the pre-experience so far.

NZThey lie about rewards schemes I booked and flew 3 times with this airline, and joined their rewards scheme. On 3 of the 4 pages of the booking process, they tell you the exact amount of rewards you will accrue. You pay the money, thinking you'll get a ticket for which those rewards will accrue. They then issue you a ticket for which no rewards accrue. They also actively pursue other false ways to prevent you claiming any rewards, for instance they claimed the name on one of my other tickets didn't match the name in my rewards membership, but it does. It seems harsh, but this company is just dishonest, you should avoid them. And, as per the other reviews, Cathay Pacific aircrew are disinterested at best.
