The “Visit Beijing Now” special promotion offers passengers two nights of free accommodation in three of Beijing's premium hotels. Passengers who've booked with Cathay Pacific to travel to Beijing anytime between 1 December 2004 to 28 February 2005 will be able to enjoy the rooms at the Marco Polo Beijing, Novotel Peace Beijing or the Shangri-La's Kerry Centre Hotel. Bookings are accepted from now until 14 January 2005. Asia Miles accrual is subject to the applicable fare conditions.

Cathay Pacific resumed services to Beijing with three weekly flights on 2 December 2003. The four additional weekly flights will offer passengers more options to connect with the airline's international services through Hong Kong.

Passengers can now be better connected to China and the rest of the world via Hong Kong and at the same time, enjoy Cathay Pacific's premium service.”
