Business plus: a new way to fly

Everyone is always in rush. And everyone is looking to a way to travel easier. 

Cathay pacific Business Plus is a programme that rewards companies for flying on Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon for business travel. It helps a company better manage business travel bookings while rewarding both the company and its employees.


In simple terms, it is a rewards programme like the Marco Polo Club. The more employees fly for the company, the more it progresses through the programme’s tiers – and the higher the tier, the more rewards accrued. These benefits include lounge passes, upgrades and priority baggage.




Companies earn Business Plus points every time they fly with Cathay Pacific or its sister airline Cathay Dragon. The number of points is based on the fare, the cabin class and distance flown in every booking. Individual Marco Polo Club members can collect their club points and Asia Miles in the normal way.

The SME sector is a growing market segment,’ There are a lot of companies starting up and there are a variety of businesses that support them, such as start-up incubators and science parks.

As these businesses develop they will have travel needs. Business Plus is perfect for start-ups doing supplier, investor or sales trips overseas.

It’s free to join for companies of all sizes and there’s no qualifying period. That means instant access from registration to benefits that be enjoyed after the first booking. That can, in many territories, include up to five Green memberships to the Marco Polo Club for employees to use.

Like Marco Polo Club, this is a global scheme, but the difference is that the tier requirements and rewards do vary between territories.

But one thing they have in common: today’s start-up could be tomorrow’s multinational.

Business Plus is designed with SMEs in mind and their characteristics and behaviours when it comes to travel – it offers control in terms of tracking bookings, rewards, and it’s accessible 24/7 from anywhere in the world – you just need an internet connection.’
