For example, a customer can advance purchase up to 50kg of extra baggage allowance per journey, saving £300 (US$400) over the standard rate charged at our airport check-in desk.

Until now, bands going on their Asia tour, scuba divers diving in the Great Barrier Reef, or relatives carrying gifts for loved ones could only pay for excess baggage at the airport. And now, customers have more choice. 

We listened to our customers and know that they want peace of mind before arriving at the airport. This newly launched Prepaid Extra Baggage booking service not only helps to reassure customers, but also offer them more flexibility to pay. Crucially, there is a 20% discount if customers book the extra allowance at least 24 hours before flight departure.

Customers holding a confirmed booking with Cathay Pacific can prepay for extra baggage by visiting Manage Booking on www.cathaypacific.com or phone the UK team on 0800 917 8260.

With Cathay Pacific’s Airportr partnership, customers departing from London Heathrow airport can also use our Bag Pick-Up and Check-In service, to have all of their check-in baggage, including excess baggage, collected from the comfort of their own home from just £30.

Prepaid extra baggage charges³ are as follows:
