This Week's Deals Are Heavy on Asia-Pacific Routes
Three things caught my eye when I was pulling this week's availability together - and one of them is a genuine standout. Cathay Pacific has opened up a solid window of off-peak award space across its network for May, and the value on some of these cabins is hard to argue with.
We've got 23 flight deals across economy, premium economy, and business class this week, plus 12 hotel redemptions and some transfer bonuses worth acting on quickly. Let's get into it.
Miles & Points Trivia

🚨 Deal of the Week: London to Hong Kong in Business Class
London (LHR) to Hong Kong (HKG) on Cathay Pacific - Business Class
Just 100,000 Asia Miles one-way at off-peak pricing.
Available: May 10 (Sunday) - low but real availability, so move fast.
Why is this the deal of the week? Because Cathay Pacific's business class between London and Hong Kong is genuinely world-class - flat bed, direct aisle access, excellent food, and one of the better long-haul products in the sky. At off-peak rates, you're getting strong value on a route where cash fares easily run $3,000-$4,000+ one-way.
The availability on May 10 is low, which means seats are going fast. If you've been sitting on Asia Miles or points you can transfer to Asia Miles, this is the week to use them.
How to book: Search directly on Cathay Pacific's website using Asia Miles. Transfer partners include American Express Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Citi ThankYou, and Capital One.
