Cathay Pacific is set to bring back flights linking Singapore and
Bangkok in March 2024. The popular route, temporarily halted due to the
pandemic, will resume with its original flight numbers (CX712/717) and
timings.
Departing from Changi just before 1.30pm, the 2-hour 50-minute flight
allows for a seamless short-duration getaways, reaching Bangkok by
early evening. The return journey from Bangkok to Singapore departs at
11.55am, providing a mid-afternoon arrival into Changi at 3.25pm.
Operated on Airbus A330-300 aircraft, the service features 39
Business Class seats in a 1-2-1 configuration and 223 Economy Class
seats in a 2-4-2 configuration. Cathay Pacific is offering generous
award space for this route, making it an appealing option for Asia Miles
and Avios redemptions. Notably, Qatar Airways Privilege Club Avios
provides optimal value, offering lower award rates compared to other
programmes.
Despite British Airways' devaluation of Avios awards on Cathay
Pacific, this renewed route promises convenience and value, especially
for travellers seeking a swift escape to Bangkok.
