15% price increase in less than 2 hours
I recieved a written quote (via email) for airfares from South Africa to Hong Kong and accepted and faxed back the credit card authority form. With in 2 hours i get a call back saying that I was quoted the wrong fare and the new fare is 15% higher than the old one. This despite there being a clear and bold message on the written quote that the quoted fare is valid for 24 hours from date of quoting. The excuse was a system update and the new fare only got loaded minutes after the quote was send out. At 12 pm (midday) the entire airline system gets an update for new fares? I lodged a complaint with the staff as a manager was not available to take my call (seem typical when a complaint is to be handled managers are never available)... I will await the promised return call and update the posting.

Bad service
I have flown on Cathay Pacific 4 times to fly from California to Hong Kong. I always choose CP because their in-flight service is far superior to other American airlines. They also have a wonderful entertainment system in all of the seats which makes the flight even better.

The complain I have happened from 2004-2006. It is that out of the 4 times that I have flown on Cathay Pacific 3 of those times they have damaged my luggage. On 2 of my brand new suitcases they broke off the telescoping handle, which I had secured in the down position. And one time they broke off the regular carrying handle on the top of the suitcase, which was a very heavy duty handle. All of these 3 incidences, the handles were new sturdy handles and this had to be done intentionally or with the knowledge of the baggage handlers.

Cathay Pacific stated that they would pay for repairing the luggage. Although I don't see any way that a telescoping handle that was ripped clean off of the suitcase could be repaired. But when contacting Cathay Pacific they told me I needed a form sent to me. I called the first person for the form and she told me that she couldn't give me one and that I would have to call this second person. When I called the second person she told me that she couldn't give me the form and I would have to call the first person to get the form. The first person from then on refused to answer my calls or return my messages. They now have the forms online, when this happened they did not. this really taints the good overall service I get from Cathay Pacific.

Lost luggage
My flight was on 06 January 2009 CEB-HKG-RUH, CX920 & CX733, Luggage Tag#: CX6288/65. e-TICKET#: 160 3175654936. My complaint is in regards to my luggage that was lost in a changing flight. I flew from CEBU to HONGKONG then from HONGKONG to RIYADH. when i landed in RIYADH and tride to claim my luggage it never came off. i went to the customer service desk and the gentlemen was very helpful & he filled the form CATHAY PACIFIC - PROPERTY IRREGULARITY REPORT & right all the details regarding my flight including the tag number. I told the man to look through my bag when it came through as i knew excactly what was in it. Until now i don't received any news. I have been appalled by this airline and feel they are doing nothing to help me retrieve my luggage, and show no form of interest in my problem. I'm flying for almost 20 years for different airlines but mostly i'm taking Cathay but this problem occur to me this time. I don't know what to do, i have very important things in that luggage. Please help me.

CX do not honor One World Ruby members
Cathay Pacific Airways do not honor One World Ruby members. One World Ruby members, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT fly Cathay Pacify Airways as they do not allow One World Ruby members to pre-board the plane. All other One World alliance airlines allow pre-boarding to Ruby members except Cathay Pacific Airways. I WILL NOT FLY Cathay Pacific Airways ANYMORE even if I have to sit on the wings of the airplane. The ushers at the Cathay Pacific Airways boarding gate in Vancouver, Canada are disgusting employees who do not care about customer satisfaction. They humiliate people by turning them away at the gate even though you show them your One World Ruby membership.

Very misleading advertising and many disappointed and furious Cathay passengers
Dear Cathay

I travelled with your airline Sydney to Hong Kong Business class Friday evening 15 Feb 2008 on CX 138 I was in seat 12H. I had booked on Cathay as I needed an evening flight and I needed to get a good sleep on the flight to do business the next day after a further flight to Beijing. I had paid full business class fare only to find an OLD plane which did NOT live up to the "Flat out to Hong Kong " advertising slogan. The seats were awful, the trip consequently a very unpleasant experience, and business the next day went poorly because of lack of sleep.

ALL the business class passengers on that flight complained to the senior stewardess that they all had paid top dollar for the pleasure of a flat bed to Hong Kong. We were told we had the option of not flying on that flight and we could opt for another airline. The stewardess said only once per week or LESS did a more modern plane fly the Syd Hong Kong route and passengers like us in business class were often complaining about it.

I completed my flight and my business and returned Hong Kong to Sydney on Tuesday evening 19 Feb 08 on CX 161, sitting in seat 12 C, business class, only to find again an old plane, nowhere near a flat bed and again a very miserable bunch of travellers in business class. Again we were told we could complain !!! or choose not to go on the flight !!

I have decided not to travel Cathay again. I was a friend of the late Sir Edward Scott, a senior executive with Cathay based in Sydney a few years ago and I know he would have been disgusted be the performance of Cathay in this instance ; a once great airline that now advertises one thing, takes passengers' money, and then provides a poor quality substitute service and then says " So Complain " ! I talk frequently to my patients about airline travel, as my interest is venous thrombosis, including travel-related thrombosis, and believe me the poor standard of Cathay now frequently comes up in conversation.

I hope things improve in your airline and that truth may reappear in your advertising. If not you will have a large number of disappointed and angry former clients.

Yours faithfully Dr G Mark Malouf Surgeon 236 Edgecliff Rd Woollahra. 2025 Sydney

Lost the plot and should be downgraded
Cathay Pacific Airways - www.cathaypacific.com

I have been a Cathay Pacific loyal customer for over 15 years. I have always spoken well and promoted them as a consistently good carrier but now realize I was trying to justify my long term relationship. My latest bad experience on both legs of a return flt Sydney to HKG in Business Class. Boarding Sydney, I was presented with my seat (11A) which I found filthy. Dirty 'used' tissues stuffed down the seat and other dirty tissues and rubbish left in my storage pockets. Sticky substance on the drink tray area. Not a good start for a $7467 AUD Ticket. The rest of the flt uneventful. Return trip - the 'Pier Lounge' at HK had a meagre range of snacks - hot food had all gone with a cooked meal choice of noodles or wonton soup. About 30 minutes later they restocked the sandwich and dimsum rack. The staff were neutral and certainly not friendly. The toilets reeked, were shabby, with waste paper spewing out over the floor - Business Lounge !!

On boarding CX101 I found the aircraft to be an old Airbus 330 in need of a renovation or scrapping. My seat appeared broken and unable to recline properly and the seat position was extremely uncomfortable with bad leg rest position etc. Bottom line, a shockingly uncomfortable trip which left me in severe pain in the lower back and legs. To add insult to injury, the entertainment was an ancient tiny screen which was blurred and almost mono-colored, video streamed from the central units i.e. no 'On demand' at all, some movies were unwatchable due to pixellation or broken sound, dodgey headset connection etc. I requested another seat - was refused. Requested to see the captain - no response. Was told the airline should have contacted me to warn the aircraft was an 'old' one bought in service due to a breakdown. I was not contacted, the Business Lounge did not mention anything (buck passing). Overall an insulting experience and my memory now recalls all the previous flight issues which broken seats, bad (non functioning) sound equipment, dirty cabin areas, older style entertainment - and the list goes on. The competitors have on call video in Economy and -n over all far better cabins and service.

Cathay has lost it totally. Try to upgrade with your points...."Seats unavailable" "seats unavailable". They are a joke and should be now listed as a 2 Star outfit. Obviously bad management who don't care. r

Review other reports to see the lack of interest paid by the 'complaints' department of Cathay Pacific. My flight in business for $7467 AUD was worse than the worst economy flight. Unacceptable Cathay. Get your act together.
