Earning AAdvantage Miles

Cathay Pacific participates in the American Airlines AAdvantage® program. You can earn AAdvantage miles on qualifying Cathay Pacific tickets and claim AAdvantage awards for free travel on Cathay Pacific. We also frequently make special offers that allow you to earn additional bonus miles or to claim awards at reduced levels.

 
This means that you can earn miles when you are flying from the USA to Hong Kong on a qualifying First Class or Business Class ticket or a qualifying Economy Class ticket (Y, B and H fares only).

And since Cathay Pacific is an elite-qualifying AAdvantage partner, miles earned count toward earning AAdvantage Gold®, AAdvantage Platinum® and AAdvantage Exective Platinum(sm) status. A single roundtrip to Hong Kong on a qualifying subclass brings you over halfway to AAdvantage Gold! And if you're already an AAdvantage elite member, you'll earn elite flight bonus miles when flying Cathay Pacific.
How To Earn AAdvantage Miles When Flying Cathay Pacific

You can earn AAdvantage miles on Cathay Pacific flights worldwide and on flights operated by oneworld airlines (excluding non-oneworld code share and joint-venture flights). Simply quote your AAdvantage membership number at the time of reservation as well as during check-in. Upon verification of fare eligibility, your earned AAdvantage miles will be credited to your account after your travel is completed.

When you are booking your ticket online, you can find out if your Cathay Pacific ticket qualifies to earn AAdvantage miles. In the "Itinerary Review" page, click on "Fare Rules" and refer to the "Booking Code (BK CODE)". The chart below contains a complete list of all booking codes qualified to earn AAdvantage miles.
