| | Cathay Pacific Business Class, Up To 8 Seats | Cathay Pacific has been stingy with award space lately, but I have something fun for you! | While they still aren’t releasing space to Alaska or American, we are seeing up to 8 business class seats available. If you’re planning a trip to Asia next summer or fall, this is great option from several U.S. and Canadian airports. On some routes, you can even find three flights with space on the same day! | Plus, you can book some dates with Avios or JAL Mileage Bank. It’s at least worth running a quick check with each before you book with Cathay miles | If Hong Kong isn't on your list to visit, it's a great place to connect to Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Japan, and many other destinations. | Now, let’s get into it! |

| | | Flight Experience | On most flights, Cathay’s business class is arranged in a 1-2-1 reverse herringbone layout. The business class lounges are nice and you can expect solid service and catering inflight. | On the Vancouver route, on flights CX888 and CX865, Cathay has their brand new Aria Suite, with a sliding door and upgraded tech. Personally, I’d make a point to try the new product if flying out of Vancouver works for you! |  | Eight seats is crazy! |
