Cathay Pacific is flying again, and running limited-time offers for its Singapore members.

New members who sign up for a Cathay Pacific account (it’s free) from 8 to 30 Nov 2022 will receive a one-time welcome bonus of 1,000 Asia Miles (worth US$13).
Singapore-based travellers should have a Cathay Pacific account as miles/points from most of our credit cards can be transferred to its frequent flyer program.
