Good to see progress is being made according to plan. Hopefully website and all features will be up and running normally by this evening.

Thanks for that. I accessed the Traditional Chinese version and (as of now) it is not there (yet).

Cathay website back up with some functions working:


Systems upgrade in progress – some website functionality is unavailable

Cathay Pacific and Dragonair are upgrading our reservation systems in order to ensure that we keep pace with our passengers’ future travel requirements. We are currently bringing the Web site back up in stages over the next several hours. Currently flight schedules and flight status are available. Mobile site, Online flight bookings, Manage My Booking, Online Check-In and Frequent Flyer Account access are currently unavailable.

Please check back later for further updates.

Checked the schedule of some flights, it now shows exactly which aircraft type instead of saying it varies (EQV?) :)

Hong Kong - Toronto on Y+ is around 19k to 32k, with no rebooking fee and 12 months of maximum stay, not too bad.

Search is still not working for me - any price range from JFK-HKG roundtrip?

BTW, this may be interesting to some:

I can't quite go through with a JFK booking, but if I were a betting man, I'd say Y+ prices will be consistent with YYZ prices.

A dummy W class booking for HKG-LHR ($17K HKD + taxes) shows that it earns 110% AM.

Ok, PE is now available for booking.

HKG-SYD round trip start from about HK$15000+tax. This is the PE Standard fare R class. The PE standard contain with the mix of W & R class.

The trip earn 10% bonus miles...

HK-SYD ranges 18k to 23k all in for "standard" Y+. Again why any monkey on this planet pays for this whilst ex TEP I-class is 16k all in is beyond my comprehension (well I guess majority of lucrative travellers don't really care). 10% bonus miles accural on Y+ as rumor was going. Funny enough to REDEEM Y+, you need to use 20% extra.

Airbus 333 map showing 2-3-2 abrest.

Assuming 40% discount for sale fare on Y+ that brings it down to 11k. For HK-SYD I'm a seller but I might take this for HK-YYZ

We haven't seen any 'E' fares yet though. PE fares for QF are from HKD10880 + tax, so I expect CX will eventually offer something similar.

Same for LHR when BA is offering PE at $9880 + tax.

CX booked fares now showing up on the Qantas My Booking page with Amadeus reference numbers...
Only letting me select seats for first leg (of a TPE-HKG-CTS-HKG-TPE booking in J) although seatmap looks very empty (although expertflyer not much fuller)

Class loadings also appear to be working again on expertflyer.

Still can't access CX manage bookings as a non-member.
