Actually, have to say I thought it was a very clever idea!
And as we were actually about to book our helper passage for her holidays in April, CX will get the business!
The points are neither here nor there (although a nice gesture) but what I thought was very nice touch is the extra baggage allowance for the helper if booked by the employer in this manner. Leveraging the fact that many of us are FF with all sorts of extra perks but our helpers are not, and when they are travelling alone for holidays they like to take *lots* of stuff home with them.
Our helper was suitably impressed with an extra free 10kg allowance - assuaged her trepidation about flying CX when she has only ever flown Phillipine airlines before
I assured her CX was reputable and I'm certain she will find she will enjoy her flight
