Airlines
Cathay Pacific is Hong Kong's flagship carrier and a oneworld member, so tickets bought directly typically code as airline travel and earn on cards with an airfare or general travel bonus. Award seats are bookable through partner programs, and a travel card with strong transfer partners or a flat travel multiplier usually beats paying out of pocket.
