Cathay Pacific Asia Miles - Discounted BIZ-fares circle trip BKK-HKG-MNL-BKK
Frequently I have to make the following circle-trip:
Bangkok-Hongkong-Manila-Bangkok.
(bkk-hkg-mnl CX ; mnl-bkk TG)
In business I always have to pay the high amount of around USD 980,- (J-class).
Are there any fares around or method so I can reduce these costs every time? I never find any discounts in Biz or First for my route ?

It's because you're combining carriers.
There are no discounts for your routing because it's a full fare ticket. There are not any discounts for such a routing unless you are willing to backtrack and stick with one carrier... ie BKK-MNL-BKK on LH or PR (cheaper than TG), and then BKK-HKG-BKK on a variety of other carriers. eg CX (but outbound and return must be same carrier)
thanks for your reply.
One other question: When purchasing a CX holiday package hkg-mnl-hkg , you have the option to purchase Business class supplement of HKD 1800,-
roundtrip. This sounds a good deal.
But I can't figure out the t&C completely? Are they saying that you can buy this special supplement ONLY, when two pax are travelling together?
I will be travelling alone, and thus not eligible for this offer?

I dunno. You'd have to provide us with a link for us to peruse the T&C before we can comment.
