For those of you who hold Gold status on Cathay Pacific, there is good news, as the airline will extend its complimentary Wi-Fi to all Cathay Gold members
Gold members will gain access to complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi from 15th November. This will apply to any cabin they are travelling in (First, Business, Premium Economy or Economy Class).
With this upcoming rollout, complimentary Wi-Fi will be available to all passengers travelling in First and Business class, as well as Diamond and Gold members travelling in all cabins.
Cathay Pacific also plans to roll out complimentary Wi-Fi to all Cathay members travelling in Premium Economy by the end of this year. Premium Economy class passengers are encouraged to sign up for Cathay membership before their flights to unlock an array of exclusive benefits, including complimentary Wi-Fi service when it rolls out.
With the expanded access to complimentary Wi-Fi, more passengers can easily enjoy seamless connectivity in the air.
Passengers can connect with one device at a time and can switch between devices at any time during their flight. In addition, complimentary access to all pages on cathaypacific.com and the Cathay Shop is available in all cabins.

Cathay Director of Customer Travel Erica Peng said:
“At Cathay Pacific, we recognise how important it is for our passengers to stay connected in the air, whether they are travelling for business or leisure. With the extension of our complimentary Wi-Fi service, we are continuing to further refine the travel experience for our valued passengers.”
Connectivity matters
Connectivity still matters in the air – and airlines are slowly working out ways of giving that connectivity, either by payment, membership of a frequent flyer programme or by level of that programme.
Cathay has gone down the line of membership and level to gain access to Wi-Fi, enabling its customers to connect in the air.
What is good is that benefits are slowly trickling down the membership levels and cabins, with three of the four cabins offering free connectivity in the near future.
That’s something to be welcomed.
