Cathay Pacific Biz to Hong Kong from 85k Points

Cathay Pacific operates nonstop business class from several US and Canadian cities to Hong Kong. Availability is limited and drops randomly, so setting up alerts is recommended. Finnair Avios at 85k is the cheapest booking option, with the Avios boost reducing your points spend.

Flat 85k Finnair Avios for business class from all US/Canada cities.

JFK, BOS, ORD, DFW, SFO, LAX, SEA, YYZ, YVR to Hong Kong. SEA is a new route as of March 2026, operating five times a week on the A350-900. There's often only availability in one direction, so book what exists. Set up alerts on seats.aero. Space drops randomly and goes fast.

Search on seats.aero through Qantas as the source. Ignore the Qantas price, you're just looking for nonstop Cathay Pacific business class space. Then confirm on Finnair that the same route/date shows up. Book on finnair.com. No need to call for Cathay.

To cut your points spend, use the BA buy bonus:

1. Transfer 25% of your Avios total from your credit card directly to British Airways. For 85k Avios, transfer ~21k. Cards: Chase, Amex, Bilt, Capital One, Wells Fargo (all 1:1).

2. Buy the remaining 75% on BA at 1.2p per point (up to 3x multiplier). Buy ~64k for ~$768.

3. Transfer all BA Avios to Finnair Plus via BA Combine Avios. Accounts must be linked first.

4. Book on finnair.com or chat/call Finnair.

Important: Only points transferred directly from a credit card to BA count toward the buy bonus. Moving Avios between programs (Qatar to BA, etc.) does not qualify.

Or: Capital One transfers directly to Finnair Plus (1:1) if you don't want to deal with the boost.

The availability cards above show real-time award space from seats.aero, updated throughout the day. Each card shows a date, route, points price, and which program is offering it. When multiple programs show space on the same date, the cheapest option is listed first.

If you see filter pills above the cards, you can narrow results to a specific program. Hovering over a program name shows which credit card points transfer to it.

Before you transfer points: Always verify the availability directly on the booking program's website. Award space can disappear between the time seats.aero checks and when you go to book. Transfer points only after you have confirmed the seat exists on finnair.com or qantas.com. Points transfers are one-way and non-reversible.
