Just had a great trip Cairns/ Hong Kong/Cairns (with friends) on Cathay Pacific.
My wife and I had various CPX vouchers from a previous trip to HK due to being bumped off a flight at the time. This flight 4 of us were using FF points.
The five of us arrived at the CNS airport and found the flight was delayed 2 hours, I kindly asked at check in if we could use our 2 lounge vouchers and also bring our 3 friends in as well!, at first it was a tad negative but I told her 2 off my companions were Qantas Club Members (they are but not flying Q on this occasion), the other (my best) friend had just had the bereavement of his wife of 50 years (he had). Off she went to make enquiries and bingo we were all in, very nice few hours we all had too.
At HK we simply checked in our luggage at Kowloon and jumped on the fast train to the airport (and picked up our gear in CNS on arrival, a great service I must say).
I asked if we could go BC with the upgrade voucher we had, he said "can't tell you until actual boarding", we waited in line then over came the check in guy and he asked us to jump on the BC queue, yep we received the upgrade, a very nice trip it was too.
So a big thank you to CPX, and they have us and our friends as very satisfied customers, and no doubt we will fly with them again.
