How can I win a free round-trip ticket to Hong Kong?
Honestly, the process is pretty straightforward. Almost too good to be true, you might think. But hey, for all the dim sum and shopping that we’ve missed out on in the past 3 years, we’d say this giveaway is worth a shot. Here’s how to get in on the game:
- You must be a Cathay member. If you aren’t one yet, sign up for a free membership on Cathay Pacific’s website.
- From 2-8 March 2023, visit the campaign website, sign in using their Cathay membership details, and answer 3 questions correctly.
- The prize will be awarded to the first 12,500 entrants with correct answers.
- Each member may submit 1 entry only.
- The winners will be announced on the campaign website on 20 March 2023, and they will also receive an email with details on how to redeem their prize.
Can I still win free round-trip tickets to Hong Kong if I’m not based in Singapore?
Yeah, you can. In Southeast Asia, the campaign will be launched in phases. It is beginning first with Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines on 1, 2 and 3 March 2023 respectively, and then Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Cambodia in stages two weeks later.

How is Hong Kong managing to offer so many free tickets to Southeast Asian countries?
“As part of the relief package for Hong Kong’s aviation industry during the pandemic, AAHK provided liquidity support to the home-based carriers in 2020 by sponsoring air tickets in advance. The air tickets will be used to promote traffic recovery when the pandemic subsides,” explains Vivian Cheung, Chief Operation Officer of AAHK. Cheung also adds, “Hong Kong has opened up and we are eager to welcome visitors from different parts of the world. Various new services and facilities are ready at Hong Kong International Airport and we are looking forward to providing passengers a brand new airport experience.”
