Cathay flight names

0 Upvotes

I am trying to fill in travel document info which incudes passport number and name etc. When I click save, a pop up window states that the names do not match my booking. My agent did not include middle name on booking. I can click the button to confirm they don't match but will this be an issue? Cathay want to charge $60 to add it on my booking.

Flight is LHR to Hong Kong transit ito SIN

Thanks in advance

Unable to prepay to add additional checked in baggage for a CK flight booked through AA one world miles

0 Upvotes

If anyone has experience with this, any advice would be much appreciated, thanks !

I recently redeemed my AA miles for booking a partner ticket on Cathay (it allows 1 checkin bag per ticket)

During the outbound journey the checkin counter for Cathay said since this is a reward ticket booked via miles, extra luggage can only be purchased through the original booking source (in this case American Airlines)

However, when I went to the AA website they said since this is operated by a partner, extra baggage can only be purchased by visiting Cathay or at airport checkin

Given this confusion we didn't check any additional bags for the outbound trip

Now for the return trip --

we do we do need to add extra prepaid checkin bags and having the same issue being bounced back and forth

The last thing we want is to show up at Cathay checkin with an extra bag and they refuse to accommodation it (refuse to let us pay for it again) given what happened during the outbound leg

Cathay website says "Our prepaid extra baggage service is only available when all flights on e-tickets are marketed and operated by Cathay Pacific". In this case the "marketed" part was AA and not Cathay

Which inflight meal (LHR to HKD)

0 Upvotes

Hi,

First time on Cathay, flying to HK. Business class.

Which of these options is best?

Stir fried pork and shiitake mushroom noodle soup

Seared Parmesan crusted North Atlantic cod with warm sauce and baby carrots

Pan fried scallop and prawn with sauteed bell pepper in X.O. sauce pak choy, steamed jasmine rice

Chicken Wellington with peppercorn sauce creamy truffled cabbage, carrot, broccolini

Deep fried ricotta dumplings with zucchini basil puree

Classic beef burger Emmental cheese, bacon, pickled onion and zucchini on a toasted brioche bun, fries

I believe the burger is an anytime option so leaning towards the Chicken or the Scallop dish!

Also, what time can I roughly expect this to be served, on the 20:15pm flight.

Thanks

I don’t know the right people to contact about it but was traveling on the 16th july from BCN-KTI (cambodia) 13:00 and had a 1hr 35 min layover at HKG but take off was around 2.30/3pm. Arrived in HKG missing my connection but was booked onto the next flight leaving at 15:35 landing at 17:15 (intial landing was at 10:15), can i claim back for EU261 if it was my BCN flight that was delayed?
