This week's deals are almost entirely driven by Cathay Pacific award availability out of Hong Kong - and the breadth of it is genuinely impressive. We're talking Europe, the US West Coast, the US East Coast, and Canada, all at off-peak rates with plenty of dates in June.

There's also a Chase transfer bonus expiring tomorrow (yes, tomorrow - May 15) that could seriously stretch your points if you act fast. More on that below. Let's get into it.

Let's kick things off with a quick question tied to today's deals. Which Hyatt property in today's newsletter offers the single best value at 6.7 cents per point?

The answer is at the bottom of today's newsletter - keep scrolling!

Route: Hong Kong (HKG) to New York (JFK/EWR) on Cathay Pacific - Economy Class

Points required: 40,000 Asia Miles one-way (off-peak rate)

Available dates: Jun 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 - high availability across all five dates

Availability: HIGH - this is a rare window of open seats across a full week

Why it's special: The standard peak rate for this route is 55,000 Asia Miles, so you're saving 15,000 points just by travelling in June. High availability across five consecutive dates means you have genuine flexibility - pick your preferred departure day without fighting for a single seat.

The same 40,000-point off-peak rate also applies to Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Vancouver departing Hong Kong in the same window - so if NYC isn't your destination, you've got options.

Transfer bonus angle: The Chase Ultimate Rewards to Air France-KLM Flying Blue +20% bonus runs until May 27. Flying Blue partners with Cathay for some routings - worth checking if you're holding Chase points. And Capital One Miles to Qantas (a Oneworld partner) carries a +20% bonus through May 31.

How to book: Search on the Cathay Pacific website using Asia Miles. Transfer from Amex, Chase, Citi, or Capital One if needed.

All deals below are on Cathay Pacific using Asia Miles at off-peak rates. Availability varies by route - check each one carefully.

💡 Tip: The Frankfurt and Paris routes to Europe are priced the same at 45,000 points - only 5,000 more than the transpacific routes. That's exceptional value for a 12+ hour flight. Search all routes at AwardTravelFinder.

UK readers: The London to Hong Kong seat on Jun 17 is low availability - grab it if you're keen. For more UK-focused Avios deals and credit card offers, Smart With Points has great coverage this week including a tripled Marriott Bonvoy Amex bonus and a Qatar Airways sale.

One hotel stands out this week above everything else. If you're a World of Hyatt member, pay attention.

Program: World of Hyatt | Points per night: ~45,000 | Value: 6.7 cents per point

Alila Ventana Big Sur is one of the most celebrated luxury retreats on the California coast - and at 6.7cpp, this is among the best hotel redemption values you'll find anywhere in the Hyatt portfolio right now. A night here in cash would cost serious money. At 45,000 points, it's a genuine steal.
