Cathay prepaid baggage after a flight change: arrange the transfer in time

Before changing a flight, compare the old and new routes and check prepaid extra baggage separately. Cathay permits modification of that purchase with a same-route flight change.

Important unknowns

  • The source does not establish the outcome of an individual request. Confirm current instructions with the airline; the effective date of these provisions is not established.

What to do next

  1. Identify the account

    After changing the flight online, contact Customer Care to transfer the prepaid baggage at least 24 hours before the new departure. Keep the baggage-transfer confirmation with the changed itinerary.

  2. Use the official recovery route

    For a fictional new departure at 18:00 on Wednesday, that means contacting Customer Care by 18:00 Tuesday, using the same clock and time zone for both times. Use the new flight’s departure when checking this boundary.

  3. Keep your request focused

    If you voluntarily change to another route or cancel your booking, the prepaid baggage is forfeited without refund under this policy. Include that loss when comparing your options before confirming a change.
