Just got an email from MPO....Is this another "enhancement" where they takeaway your permanent hold and replace it with a DIY 72 hold online?



We're always looking for new ways to make it easier for our club members to travel well, and we think you'll find this exclusive Hold Your Fare benefit very convenient.

Exclusive new benefit for members
From today, you can secure your flight and ticket price for up to 72 hours before you decide to purchase. This feature normally requires a deposit, but the fee is waived for you as a Marco Polo Club member.

Hold Your Fare is available when you book Cathay Pacific or Cathay Dragon flights on our website at least 7 days in advance – and if you're travelling with family or friends on the same booking, they'll also enjoy the extended holding period free of charge. Simply sign in to your account before you begin, or input your membership number when you enter the passenger information during booking.

How it works
After your booking is on hold, you'll receive a confirmation email, and you'll have 72 hours to complete the payment process and confirm your booking. If you decide you don't need the booking, you can cancel any time or it will be cancelled automatically at the end of 72 hours without charge to you.
