CATHAY WINS!!!! As a premium frequent flyer with both Cathay and Singapore, both are excellent flying experiences. However….. Cathay look after of their frequent fliers way better than Singapore!
I’ve been a premium flier on both for 8 years. I have never managed an upgrade on Singapore using miles or status. In contrast, I can’t recall how many times Cathay have upgraded me without even asking. Singapore Gold level lounges are very ordinary. Silverkris lounge is ok, but never as good as Cathay Premium lounges. Cathay lounges knock the socks off Singapore’s equivalent.
Cathay’s online booking and Marco Polo service is exceptional.

Cathay hands down! The pier lounge @ HK is reason enough imo!

so I have and One World status (UA 1K) and (AA Exec Plat), and I must say the service and status recognition on CX is exceedingly superior than SQ (virtually non-existent). And while getting the recognition is not all its drawn our to be, I was sorely reminded on my last SQ trip SIN-NRT-LAX in business class when they clearly catered to their own frequent fliers and I was left with by 3rd choice of entree on both sectors – I know should have done book the cook, but was hoping for the Japanese meal and yah that didn’t happen lol. Now if only CX started a pre-order service!

I honestly love Singapore Airlines better than Cathay Pacific as they have a better lounge and other resources. The Singapore Changi Airport is one of the best-rated airports in the world. I have flown with both carriers and I have to say that the food on Singapore Airlines it exceptional.

Cathay hands down…SQ seats are big and nice, but I hate having to get up and make the bed (its a folded seat so you have to manually do it – FA’s assist, but still a pain). Moreover I have UA 1K status and AA Exec Plat status- must say One World is 100x better in terms of lounge access- Qantas First lounge @ LAX and Cathay Pier First in HKG…IMO two of the best lounges in the world.

Hi I know this is slightly off topic but I see that you pay for a lot of your tickets or upgrade and travel with air miles. How do I collect my air miles? Do I need a card or to sign up to anything? Huge fan of the YouTube channel by the way I’ve just put together my first large holiday thank to You:)
