Cathay Pacific Asia Miles - Inflight shopping magazine now online!

I have always been wondering when Cathay would do this. BA has posted its inflight choices for years now, and finally Cathay has decided to do the same.

Something I can't seem to find in the catalogue - ties for men and silk scarves for women - weren't they available a while ago? I've always associated inflight duty free shopping with Hermes scarves/ties ....

There seems to be a bigger selection on CX now than ever before, but it's still quite boring - nothing really interests me. The beauty section is innundated with Lancome and Biotherm products - have they thought about carrying more exotic products like La Mer, Cle de Peau, Molton Brown, or Kiehl's? It was certainly nice to see a greater variety than before - Jurlique, Shu Uemura and other brands are now available inflight.

Would be nice to see more "inflight exclusives" - like special edition fragrances in special travel packs - the Armani trio for men is something I'll buy on my HKG-AMS flight this Thursday!

Excerpted from the South China Morning Post this morning:

A $2,000 bike with a calorie meter has proved to be the surprise best-selling item since the airline launched its service for large duty-free purchases three months ago, with about one a day being sold.


It has been such a hit that one cabin-crew member wrote to Cathay's staff magazine suggesting installing one on planes to allow passengers to work out - an idea dismissed by management.
