This page estimates the Status Points a HKG → SYD flight earns when credited to Cathay, based on CX own-metal earning over 4,580 miles (published ticketed mileage). Figures are indicative — use the calculator below for your exact fare and cabin.

Also flown nonstop by Qantas (Qantas Frequent Flyer). Those flights earn in their own programmes rather than Cathay; the calculator below covers every programme we model.
