Cathay coaxes Hong Kongers to get vaccine jab with party flight

The airline will also give away 20 million Asia Miles in a draw.

Cathay Pacific is urging Hong Kong residents to get vaccinated and is tempting them with a chance to win a private party flight.

In support of  the Hong Kong SAR Government’s Covid-19 community vaccination drive , Cathay is offering a chance for one vaccinated Hong Kong resident to win an exclusive flight around Hong Kong with friends and family, who are also required to be fully vaccinated, onboard its Airbus A321neo, the world’s most advanced narrow-body aircraft and the latest addition to the Cathay Pacific fleet and enjoy Cathay Pacific’s signature world-class service.

Additionally, Cathay is giving away 20 million Asia Miles in a lucky draw. Ten winners will receive one million Asia Miles each, whilst another 100 will receive 100,000 Asia Miles. Customers can redeem these for a range of Flight, Travel, Lifestyle and Entertainment awards.

Eligible participants must be Hong Kong Identity Card holders who have been fully vaccinated before the end of August 2021. More details, along with the official Terms and Conditions, will be announced in due course.

Meanwhile, Cathay is also encouraging its ground-based employees to get vaccinated by giving them days of vaccination leave. All Hong Kong-based employees will also be eligible to win Asia Miles and an array of other goodies, including free Air Travel Bubble flights and staycations.

Cathay said that it recognises its employees’ concern about getting vaccinated so it is offering its employees a free pre-vaccination medical assessment to determine whether they are physically suitable for vaccination.

“As Hong Kong’s home airline, Cathay Pacific strongly believes in the importance of vaccination against Covid-19, which is key to the resumption of regular international air travel and the return to normal life for everyone in Hong Kong,” Cathay Pacific chief executive officer Augustus Tang said.
