Doesn't help me at all. No seats available from all European ports (excluding Moscow which is not applicable in this case) late June even as a MPC Gold member.

Furthermore no changes can be made after 30MAR, that means even later when some seats are opened I cannot change to those.

Very nice but I just issued an upgrade award yesterday that would have been eligible for this promotion

Maybe cancel and rebook? will the 30% saving worth the penalty?

I have a few tickets I want to issue in coming days!

"2. This offer is applicable to mixed-carrier itineraries on Cathay Pacific and Dragonair (excluding upgrade awards). "

Does this mean an itinerary with at least one segment on CX/KA can be done with the whole itinerary 30% off? Or just the one segment 30% off?

(sorry this question should be directed to MPO, but 2747 5500 and 2747 3838 have been totally engaged for the last hour)

Try 2747 3888.

I never had problems and they answer within 30 secs

Seems like u can as one trip (if it is return trip). If it is Oneway then will be an average of 2 sectors.

Savings is only 6750 miles so not sure if that's worth paying the US$120 reissue fee.

correctioncx - think I get the answer to my q if I read conditions 1 and 2 together - valid only on CX/KA flights, including mixed rewards. So you can't get 30% on the non-CX/KA segments.

midlevels - HK$0.139/mile, definitely not (at least for me).
6,750 miles still better than the two commercial property speculators who abandoned $1.5M and $2.5M deposits respectively after last Fri's stamp duty hike http://hk.news.yahoo.com/%E9%9B%99%E...3--sector.html

how about US$120 for 30000miles?

actually i have redeemed 2 tickets early this month and i think it worths the penalty. but i don't know anything about the cancellation and rebook procedures, plus there's now no available award seats for my travel dates, i definitely don't want to lose my seats.

Reissue fee is US$100 - not US$120. My earlier post was in error.

I called MPC to ask about reissue, they said it's possible @ US$100 per ticket but they have to cancel the booking and rebook - so they can't use the original booking, which means that you might not get seats when you try to rebook.
