What criteria determine the success of an offer?

Upgrade Bid is accepted based on seat availability, the number of offers received and other factors that are at Cathay’s sole discretion.

The success of an offer depends on a combination of factors including but not limited to:

• The amount offered for the upgrade
• Competing offers
• Your Cathay membership status
• The number of passengers in the same booking
• The number of seats available for upgrades
• Whether you have checked into your flight in your original fare class, prior to the bidding window being closed

There is no guarantee that your offer will be accepted, even at the highest permitted level.
