Cathay Pacific Asia Miles - www.cxagents.com

I read about this site, designed exclusively for the travel agents, through the press release of CX. It's a new site, but I can't gain access because I am not a travel agent and I can't register.

Just curious, if any of you have access to this site, what does it offer?

Do you mean CyberAgent? If so, that program has been around for quite some time. Mainly it is a source of AAdvantage miles for the travel agent for booking business on CX.

It's great only for the agent who books lots of CX J and F class flights transpacific.

The registered agent books the client on CX. And will register the CX ticket number on the site. For each roundtrip H class booking, once completed by the client, CXCyeragent will forward the information to AAdvantage and he/she will be credited with between 2500-5000 miles based on the fare basis of his/her client.

For every J or F class ticket, the miles go up - up to around 25,000 miles.

FYI - the passenger MUST complete his/her travel and then CX will only credit the appropriate miles into the agent's account.

Contrary to what some people may think, it does not tempt the agent to 'sway' people to travel on CX so that he/she gets the miles. The decision still comes to the passenger. Plus for some complicated routings, people still need travel agents irrespective of how websites are slowly taking over some of the easier bookings. For flights that require constant monitoring of waitlists, 'contacts' at CX to clear waitlists (even above and beyond priority ahead of emerald members) still comes down to the agents' ability to do their tricks.

CX issued RTW fares unfortunately do not qualify for the 'miles' offer for CXcyberAgents.

I think the biggest problem is that either the agent OR the pax gets the bonus miles, not both. Considering the bonus miles that CX is currently offering to pax, assuming they are aware of it, I would think most pax would prefer to book themselves as CyberTravelers.

Unfortunately on CX's websites, you can't book a waitlisted flight.
