FYI
CX & LH group to codeshare.
The codeshare also includes Lufthansa Group subsidiaries Austrian Airlines and Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS).
The agreement covers Cathay Pacific flights with LH/LX/OS designator codes between Hong Kong to Sydney, Melbourne and Cairns in Australia and Auckland in New Zealand. Cathay will place its CX designator code on 14 Lufthansa, SWISS and Austrian European flights.
“This new codeshare agreement will offer Cathay Pacific passengers enhanced connectivity to destinations in continental Europe through flights operated by Lufthansa, SWISS and Austrian via our gateways in Frankfurt, Dusseldorf and Zurich,” Cathay Pacific CEO Ivan Chu said in a statement.

Cathay Pacific affiliation
Morning!
Can someone clarify what the full affiliation is with Cathay Pacific & Star Alliance. They are listed as a partner but I thought for some reason they were not full code share partners.
If having them part of the itinerary is everything checked right through with one boarding passes and all and do you collect AP miles? or for example if going through HKG do you need pick up another boarding pass at the gate.
I am just using Korean Air as an example. We had one ticket but as an interline partner (I believe that is what it is called) we still had to get a Korean Airlines boarding pass at the transfer station in ICN.

Some Cathay Pacific flights now bookable w/ Aeroplan
Aeroplan appears to be in full activity right now. After having reinstated Air China bookings, Aeroplan now makes it possible to book certain flights on Cathay Pacific.
It is now possible to use Aeroplan miles to book Cathay Pacific flights. But only between Hong Kong and:
ChiangMai, Thailand
Phuket, Thailand
Bangkok, Thailand
Cebu, Philippines
Manila, Philippines
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Hanoi, Vietnam
The catch: for now the reservation is only available by phone at 1-800-361-5373.

Hello all, can someone also explain to me how one can credit DL, QF, 9W, or FU flights to AP?
- Codeshare flights operated by Cathay Pacific and marketed by Air Canada; Cathay Pacific determine how many miles you earn for your flights. Therefore, the booking class that appears on your ticket may differ from the booking class that the operating airline uses to determine flight miles earned. Refer to the Eligible Flights Tab of the operating carrier.

I thought the AC / CX reciprocal FF benefit deal only applied on specific intra Asia routes. TPAC isn't covered and I can't imagine why it ever would be as AC and CX compete head to head on those routes.

I have the same question. I'm putting together a mRTW which includes Chiang Mai so being able to include CX could be very useful. I'll be calling AP in the next couple of weeks so I can update the thread then if no one has the answer any earlier.
I also wonder how we're supposed to determine availability on CX segments before calling in since they don't seem to show up on the AP booking engine...
