In our series offering you the summary of the baggage policies of various carriers we go to the Far East.
Today we will take a look at the baggage policy of the founding member of Oneworld Alliance and the flag carrier of Hong Kong – Cathay Pacific Airways.
Cathay Pacific: carry-on baggage

Americas belonging to a separate category.

To follow on from my last emaiil, I do not need to be on your frequent flyer scheme now.
So you can remove my name and address from your system if you like. Thanks.
I do not know if your airline flies mail in to Hong Kong but if you do find any post going to
my old frequent flyer address, I am not there!
It can be forwarded to the address in England which I have given you or I could come up to
your london office to collect it.
I should like to read it but unfortunately cannot stop people here from writing to me, as they might think that I am in Hong Kong.
I do hope to visit Hong Kong again but it is difficult to do so at present.
Thank you for any assistance that you can give on this.

Hello. I am hoping to recover my amber earrings which I left on an aeroplane when flying from Hong Kong to London. I cannot be certain that it was on the Cathay Pacific flight as I did fly with different airlines. However I flew very frequently with your airline.
On that subject I joined your frequent flyer scheme but as I am not currently resident in Hong Kong, I do not need to be on the scheme.
For the moment, you can contact me by email - sandraball64@hotmail. co.uk or by post to Miss Sandra Ball c/o 3 Holly Court, North Street, Storrington, West Sussex RH20 4PE
England. I can travel to London to collect them if you think you have them.
You would know if they are mine by the seat number.
I left the small amber earrings in the pouch on the seat in front of me.
The earrings have silver fixings and are for pierced ears.
Thank you for your assistance.
