eg, Taipei - HK - KL return for TWD34,295 (approx 1,000 USD) Last week I flew this TWD17,000 (approx 500 USD). (note, I can also get this for TWD12,000 if I fly with no point eligability.)
Surely, 500 USD cash in the hand is better than 2,888 points!!! Is there a way to get cheaper tix online through Cathay? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,

Also if you can the bloody thing to work for Award bookings it will be a miracle!
I think the online facility is only good for Corp travellers who pay the Full fair or for this extra special deals. Otherwise I think TA is still the best option
