Cathay Pacific

Does Cathay Pacific give out Fast Track passes at BKK?

[bigmick 840]

Yes for first and business. If they dont have any, then you can just show your boarding pass at fast track

And it has not been asked but the upper tier MP members including Gold or Diamond, who are not in First or Business do not get them.

 

They will be handed out without asking with the Thailand entry card if you're in J (or that one flight a day with F).

 

When you leave you also get one for departure security.

 

I would not bet the farm on showing a boarding pass to the CIP people for this benefit. CX is a small player at BKK and they buy the passes and stamp them. They are not special Cathay documents.

What about U (Frequent Flyer Award ticket in business)?

If you are travelling Biz Class, you should get one. I don't believe it is relevant whether it is an award ticket or not, similarly you get access to the lounges.

If you are sitting in the J or F cabin regardless of how you got there they give the pass with the immigration paper.

Four years ago when I flew into BKK in business class on JAL on an award ticket they didn't give out a pass. I guess that was a different airline policy?

[Grandpollo 366]

Since JAL is not CX and this is about CX I think you have nailed the issue.

 

Lots of airline don't which shows they are cheap pricks. Even ex Hong Kong or Tokyo J or F to Bangkok is not all that cheap so where an airline can't stump up for a pass each way, good time to find another airline.

 

I hear KLM does not either.

A couple of the boys at the club seemed happy tonight about cheap flights from hong kong to bangkok.$114 NZ.

I don't think air NZ goes all the way from here.
