World of Winners UK
Email from Cathay:
Get ready to say Hello to Hong Kong! 28 April 2023 As the home carrier of Hong Kong, we are excited to be supporting Hong Kong International Airport's World of Winners Ticket offer to welcome travellers from around the globe to discover the beauty of our beloved hometown. From 9 May 2023, we will be giving away 3,260 flight tickets from London Heathrow or Manchester to Hong Kong. The great news is, as a Cathay member, you are already eligible to participate. All you have to do is: Sign in to your Cathay account Correctly answer all questions in our fun quiz Submit your answers So save the date and bookmark the link below to access the campaign page on 9 May to participate. * Please note, if successful only one return ticket will be allocated per person. All flight tickets are sponsored by Hong Kong International Airport's World of Winners Ticket Offers campaign and are on the first come, first served basis. What time can we expect for the quiz to start, is it midnight UK time? |
I expect this to start at local time at midnight.
BTW, can I log into my account but buy one ticket for another person (my senior uncle)? |

Can I transfer the ticket redemption code or the ticket to someone else? No, each ticket redemption code is only valid for the successful entrants to whom it is intended to be sent, and for a one-time purchase. All flight tickets are non-transferable. |
I have not received an e-mail about this and would like to ask for any input to make sure I'm ready.
- midnight on 9th May U.K. time? - be signed in and ready with the answers (as per other thread) - is there a specific web address for this? Thanks. |
To answer the last question, https://flights.cathaypacific.com/en...rs-teaser.html says:

He is the guy who edited the date Cathay was formed on Wikipedia. No, he is correct. I eventually found deep in the T&Cs. 9AM BST. |
Bear in mind that the "winners" still need to pay the taxes, YQ and charges (incl. APD) for the tickets.

It has started. I got to the website 13 min early and was put in a waiting queue. Expected to refresh in 1 min, hopefully.
Edit: Got baited. The queue just dropped me off at cathaypacific.com. But I wasn't signed in, and you need to be signed in to participate. Clicking to sign in led me to a 21 min wait time. And then I went to the actual promo page, noticed a link on https://flights.cathaypacific.com/en...nners.html#faq for "Take the Quiz". Clicking it at 9:05am led me to another page. Please note your queue number only indicates the number of people waiting in line to register, and it does not reflect the actual number of people on the campaign page. Your waiting time may fluctuate but this won't affect your order to get into the registration page. Once you’re in, you need to log in to your Cathay account to enter the campaign. You’ll have 30 minutes to submit your entry. If you go over 30 minutes, you’ll need to queue again. Your waiting time may fluctuate but don’t worry, your place in the queue is safe. Remark: The form will be prefilled using the name registered in your Cathay member profile and will not be editable. Please make sure that your profile name matches the name on your passport before registering. Your queue number: 66751 Number of users in queue ahead of you:63490 Expected arrival time on the website:more than an hour Your estimated wait time is:more than an hour There are only 3260 tickets. So I guess I'm out. |
Lol, I was there on time and I am 21k in the queue
Does it even make sense for me to wait? Do they only give out the UK tickets today or are there any more tickets being assigned |

Your queue number: 34034
Number of users in queue ahead of you:31073 Expected arrival time on the website:more than an hour. Too slow for this (10:01). Old enough to enjoy the thrill of a lottery. |
