Whether you’re planning to travel now or next year, enjoy exclusive savings to the UK, Europe, Japan, South Korea, North America, India, and more with Cathay Pacific’s Early Bird sale.

The “Early Bird” sale has long been an industry-wide initiative encouraging travellers to secure bookings well in advance for long-haul travel, most commonly to Europe and the UK. For 2025, Cathay Pacific is refreshing the concept with a broader scope and a new approach designed to offer customers more flexibility and value.

Unlike in previous years, the 2025 Early Bird sale includes an immediate travel window, meaning passengers don’t have to wait until the following year to use their discounted fares. Travellers can book flights now for journeys starting immediately in 2025, with the offer valid for departures right through to 30 June 2026.

Expanded Destination List

While the sale has traditionally focused on the UK and Europe, this year’s offering is notably larger. The 2025 Early Bird sale includes discounted fares to North America, India, and the Subcontinent, in addition to destinations across Europe and the UK. These fares are available here from now until September 15 but you can travel from now right through to June 30th 2026.
