Really rude staff at the check in… Really rude staff at the check in counter at Chennai India. The manager Suresh Babu specifically stated he does not care if I had medicines or food or water he needs to meet the weight for cabin baggage by a kg margin. He asked me to throw them or whatever it takes to show him the weight. I noticed that I was singled out and the others passengers did not weigh their back back + luggage. I am never flying Cathay again and will recommend my followers and friends to stay away from them.

Useless website booking system Been trying to book a multi city flight fir weeks now and every time I get to the final stages of paying, I get the same error message. Wasted so much time changing the dates etc. Their website is absolute rubbish. Contacted customer services and they are as useless and incompetent. Will have to find their senior directors on LinkedIn and Facebook to escalate this now. EDIT - THIS HAS NOW BEEN RESOLVED BY ERICA AND FIONA WHO WERE AMAZING AND EXTREMELY HELPFUL.

They 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.

Trying 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.

The worst customer service The worst customer service. We have been trying for months now to transfer our BA points and never get the promised response only having to start the conversation from scratch again. The support is shockingly bad.
