Is there a minimum number of eligible flights required to achieve the next status?

Yes. You must fly at least two eligible sectors on Cathay Pacific-marketed flights to qualify for the next status.

For example, if you earned 100 Status Points from the Standard Chartered Cathay Mastercard and 250 Status Points from flying on oneworld member airlines during a year, you would not qualify for Silver despite earning 350 Status Points, because you did not fly at least two sectors on Cathay Pacific-marketed flights that year. 

An eligible sector includes any paid flight marketed by Cathay Pacific. Tickets obtained as prizes, donations or through Asia Miles (or other loyalty programme points) redemptions are not eligible. 

“Cathay Pacific-marketed flights” refer to bookings with flight numbers starting with “CX”, as shown on the ticket.
