Me too, and way beyond, to AA EXP.

Though to be fair, it is better than some, I mean take for example Hitachi's 'Inspire the Next'.

The next 'what'? Trump Tweet? Place for Russia to invade? Rolling Stones Album? Lady Gaga costume?

Compare it to slogans from competitors:

“Hello Tomorrow”
“The Spirit of Australia”
“Designed for You”
“Fly the Friendly Skies”

and then.... “Move Beyond”.
reminds me of the move to BONVOY!!!!!!!

Haha, it is surprising that there is actually one thing that United Airlines can beat Cathay

Sounds like it's supposed to be more about what Cathay wants to do as a company than what it strives for its customers. I think a better replacement for Move Beyond might be Experience Flying Beyond if they're really insistent on that word but its a bit longer so maybe not as catchy (not like Move Beyond is)? Personally liked Life Well Travelled...

UA really takes the cake. It's been some time since it came out, but I still cringe every time I hear/ see it.

Make that two of us.

I'm also Emirates Gold now.

​​​​​The status itself is less relevant. But other carriers are getting most of my F class spend these days. The mistake fare was another good incentive.

Cathay Pacific - Move Beyond
After reading the headline of this thread, I thought I'll be reading a rant story about CX, where a passenger swears to "move beyond" CX to another airline.

I actually like "live well traveled". At least life well traveled has a meaning to it.

"Move beyond... the expensive fares and proceed to the payment site"

Here's the videos...(must say a lot of them feel like they were recycled from older videos)

So there are 2 types of people here:

CX's Remainers who 'Move Beyond'. Though it is unclear what they are moving from, or what they are moving to.

CX's Leavers who have 'MoveD Beyond'

I'm getting a very strong BA vibe, are they using the same marketing company? If so, CX definitely hasn't paid enough for a better slogan.

Not sure I agree - BA's marketing usually evokes some kind of emotional response. These CX videos are really bland and generic. The Life well travelled videos at least made you want to explore the world, and made you feel like you were the guy manoeuvring the sourcing world in developing countries.

The ads feel like something financial institutions and insurance companies would create. To be honest if I saw this on CX Studio and it had UOB at the end I wouldn't even find it weird.
