After almost tripling its fuel surcharges since the start of the Iran war, Cathay Pacific is easing them by 13% from 16 May 2026- some relief, but still well above pre-conflict levels.
Cathay Pacific adjusted Asia Miles prices on 1 May, and it looks like the actual impact is wider than initially suggested. Here are the changes to Cathay Pacific and oneworld partner award prices.
From now till 1 June 2026, get an uncapped 20% bonus on transfers from Max Miles to Asia Miles, and redeem awards like Singapore to Hong Kong for just 7,500 Max Miles.
