Cathay Pacific is putting a few Southeast Asia destinations on sales in Premium Economy class. We have flown Cathay Pacific Premium Economy product a few times between New York and Hong Kong and the consensus among the team is its a pretty good Premium Economy product.

ITA will price this between $1,402 and about $1,500 depending on the city pair. However, using those dates on Priceline should be $50 – $100 cheaper.

Availability from:

• New York [JFK]
• Chicago [ORD]
• Los Angeles [LAX]
• San Francisco [SFO]

We found availability to:

• Bangkok [BKK] – LAX, JFK, ORD, SFO
• Cebu [CEB] – JFK, LAX, SFO, ORD
• Hanoi [HAN] – JFK
• Ho Chi Minh City [SGN] – JFK, LAX, SFO, ORD
• Phuket [HKT] – JFK
• Manila [MNL] – JFK, LAX, ORD, SFO
• Taipei [TPE] – JFK, ORD, LAX, SFO

(We are testing Premium Economy / Business Class / First Class deals the next few weeks to sort out some workflow and algorithms issues, we will see how it goes and whether to make this a regular feature – for Business Class / First Class deals.)
