Manage your booking with the Cathay Pacific mobile app

I was in transit at Hong Kong International on the way to Cambodia. 
Cathay Pacific is one of those airlines in which you may check-in online to reserve a seat. 
Of course, there is now an app for that. 


The app provides information on the following:
  • flight status
  • booking details (when you don't want to carry a printed e-ticket)
  • what you can't carry on board
I found this helpful since all NAIA terminals were closed a day before my scheduled departure. 


The flight went as scheduled. Having the app and flashing it to the pretty lady at the check-in counter makes you look like a frequent flyer. I am not. 

I also wanted to carry a cigarette lighter on board. The app said it was kinda fine. I didn't bring one anyway and just bought in Cambodia for $0.25. 

The app user interface is straightforward. I got a bit lost in the part where you choose your seats since the plane was huge. It had two aisles along with business class. I just let the app choose the seat for me. It was an aisle seat. 

At any rate, I still would recommend managing your booking through the app instead of desktop.
