Cathay Promotion for Aviation Enthusiasts: Round Trip Between Japan and Hong Kong for Over 1,000 RMB

Cathay Pacific launched a price slash promotion for several routes starting this Wednesday, September 17. Judging by the same-day return design, the content is clearly aimed at aviation enthusiasts.

For example, the details of this “Eco-toku Special Ultra Bullet Ultra Dangan Travel!" promotion are: Take flight CX509 from Narita on Saturday or Sunday, departing at 9:35 AM and arriving in Hong Kong at 13:25. The return flight is CX524 on the same day, departing at 1:00 AM and arriving at Narita at 6:25 AM. The round-trip ticket price is 22,000 yen, which is just over a thousand RMB.

The stay in Hong Kong is less than 12 hours, and it’s on a weekend. With such a short time, business travel is certainly out of the question. So, what could you do? If you get a window seat on the plane, you can take photos of the scenery. Once in Hong Kong, I can only imagine aviation enthusiasts carrying telephoto lenses, happily snapping planes at the VHHH airport observation deck, hehe.

Should I go try it myself? I’m unfamiliar with Hong Kong, so I need to plan it carefully…
