Cathay Crusade 2025

This was my third CX lounge for this trip and excited to check it off – same same but different? I didn’t know it at that time but this became a god send when I had to spend 5hours waiting out my flight which was eventually cancelled (more on my experience in a separate post).

[Cathay Crusade] [Lounge Review] The Bridge Lounge, Hong Kong International Airport

Cathay Crusade 2025

I was super excited that this opened after a 5-year closure from April 2020 and opened just in time for my hopping through HKIA! I stalked a fancy review of this lounge here prior heh.

[Trip Planning] Cathay Crusade 2025

Grabbed from Cathay official site

I’ve decided to bundle this trip into a trip report after all – the trip which I randomly booked wayyy ahead due to a previous Amex offer on Cathay Pacific for $100 off any $500 spend. And this is how I’m going on this 3N fun hop for only $400+ on economy.

[Trip Planning] OneWorld Sapphire Fun-venture

So I finally got my One World Sapphire (OWS) status after completing the Trip.com x Japan Airlines Sapphire Fast Track. While I am happy to finally see my status reflected, there were issues with Japan Airlines telling me that my Sapphire status is only valid until 31 March 2025 versus the campaign’s official T&C of 31 Dec 2025 – a 9 months difference! Eventually it got sorted out (and hopefully stays that way!), I figured why not start planning to try out my newly minted status.

[Hotel Review] The Ritz Carlton, Hong Kong

Grabbed from official site

This trip came up but of course due to the Cathy Pacific giveaway which happened earlier this year, and I decided to try this RC for its amazing views (and eye watering prices). This stay comes after a fantastic stay at RC Tokyo just last month and I was super excited to be able to make a comparison between these two similarly highly-raved about properties.

[Flight Review] Cathy Pacific CX658 Singapore – Hong Kong / CX657 Hong Kong – Singapore (Economy)

Grabbed from official site

This all came about because of the Cathay Pacific free ticket promotion back in early March 2023. With economy tickets booked ready in hand and another cash ticket to bring my mum along, here I go to experience as far as I remember my first CX experience.

I decided to combine my depart + return experience in one post as both were similar.
