Dark/Light Mode (27/02/23) As part of the ‘World of Winners’ campaign sponsored by Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK), where 500,000 free tickets are being offered to global visitors, Cathay Pacific has confirmed that it will be giving away 80,000 round-trip air tickets to Hong Kong to residents across Southeast Asia.
In Southeast Asia, the campaign will be launched in phases, beginning first with Thailand, Singapore and Philippines on 1, 2 and 3 March 2023 respectively, and then Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Cambodia in stages two weeks later.
To take advantage of the campaign, participants must be a Cathay member, which is free to join on Cathay Pacific’s website. The campaign will run from 1 March 2023 (12:00 Thailand Time) to 7 March 2023 (23:59 Thailand Time), or until 17,400 registrations are received, whichever is earlier.

During the promotional period, members must visit the campaign website, sign-in using their Cathay membership details and answer three questions correctly. The prize will be awarded to up to 17,400 entrants with correct answers.
Each member can submit just one entry and the winners will be announced on the campaign website on 17 March 2023. Winners will also receive an email with details on how to redeem their prize.
Of the total, up to 17,400 tickets will be for residents of Thailand.
Dominic Perret, Cathay Pacific’s Regional General Manager for Southeast Asia, said, “As Cathay Pacific and Hong Kong emerge from the past three challenging years and markets begin to recover, we are excited to be rebuilding both our Company and our home hub. As a leading airline in the region, we are proud to be part of this campaign to promote Hong Kong in Southeast Asia, and we hope our customers experience all the rich offerings that Hong Kong has to offer the moment they board our flights.”
Key dates for Cathay Pacific’s free ticket promotion :
Cathay’s promotion is in support of Hong Kong Tourism Board’s (HKTB) ‘Hello Hong Kong’ campaign being rolled out worldwide with an array of enticing offers from over 16,000 outlets across the city.
At the initial stage, at least 1 million “Hong Kong Goodies” visitor consumption vouchers will be given out, covering a complimentary welcome drink at participating bars, restaurants and hotels, or a cash voucher to be redeemed in the transport, culinary and retail sectors, as well as at attractions.
Raymond Chan, Regional Director, Southeast Asia of HKTB, said, “The Hong Kong Tourism Board is prepared to welcome visitors from Southeast Asia once again with great pleasure. Hong Kong is extending its warmest welcome along with a variety of attractive offers through the launch of a global integrated campaign – Hello Hong Kong. I am confident that visitors will enjoy a unique and unforgettable travel experience when they return to this vibrant city with Hong Kong’s diverse culture and immersive tourism offerings.
