World of Winners Campaign: Free Air Tickets to Hong Kong from Around the World!
The chance to enjoy a free trip to Hong Kong is coming!
Free air ticket distribution campaign is now underway.
However, the language apart from English is not natural and the reservation method is difficult to understand...
I have just participated in the first round of free airline ticket distribution between Paris and Hong Kong.
Now that I know the specific flow, method, and waiting time to participate in this campaign, I would like to tell you about it.
I will also explain about the error, as I was unable to make a reservation at this time due to an unexpected error...
How to Participate in the Campaign
The application process is,
1. Login to Cathay Pacific
Click here! →(
Cathay Pacific | Book flights & elevate your life
)
2. Access to the target page
Campaign Page World of Winner | Hong Kong International Airport and click on the one for the relevant departure and arrival airport to go to Cathay Pacific's campaign site.
3. Click on the blue button that says something like "Make a reservation"!
It was in French when I joined, so I couldn't read it exactly, but anyway, use the blue square button to proceed.
4. You are taken to a waiting room page.
5. Wait.
Be prepared to wait at least an hour. Check the progress of the airplane markings, as the wait time notations are stretchy and cannot be relied upon!
6. Reservation page
A promotion code will appear on the screen, and you can search for flights by departure and arrival locations and dates!
Note that if you do not make a reservation within 30 minutes, you will have to wait again for a session out!
Waiting Time for First Arrival and Departure and Errors
The waiting time is displayed as 1 minute, 30 minutes, over 1 hour, etc....
However, you cannot rely on the first indication.
When I first entered, the waiting time was indicated as "30 minutes"; after waiting for less than 30 minutes, the waiting time was indicated as "5 minutes"! Yay! I thought, "Yay!
The wait time was changed to "more than 1 hour"...
The progress of the airplane symbol on the wait time meter is more helpful than the wait time!
I kept the screen open for over an hour, waiting undeterred.
Finally, I got to the reservation screen where I could search for a flight, going from the waiting room page to the next screen and displaying a promotion code!
However!
Departure/destination is grayed out and cannot be selected! I can't click on it!
It said "please try again later."
I waited 15 minutes with no change...
I reloaded the page, but it was still the same...(thank goodness I never left the page(?)).
I tried to search for flights from the Cathay home page by just putting in the promotion code on the regular flight search page, but it wouldn't let me. It seems that I can only book through the special page.
I wrote down the promotion code and waited and reloaded the page, but it kept telling me "Please try again later" and I couldn't select a departure and arrival point for 30 minutes.
Then the session went out and I had to wait again...and it was sold out.
I was so frustrated that I went to the official Cathay Airways LINE account,
I was so frustrated that I sent a message to Cathay Pacific's official LINE account, saying, "I was able to proceed to the reservation page from the waiting room page, but could not make a reservation because of the error message shown in the image. Is it impossible to make a reservation anymore? By the way, the promotion code is XX."
I sent an inquiry to the effect that
I'm like a cremer...
Well, yeah...
Sure enough, they said, "It was already sold out."
Incidentally, after the error was not resolved, I flew to the waiting room, and then a notice appeared in the waiting room informing me that it was sold out.
It was an intense battle...! This was the first time I participated in a world-class ticket battle, but it was heated(?) and It was interesting.
I will definitely try to win the one between Japan and Hong Kong in June by using various techniques such as extensions and super reloads!
Supplementary information.
Although this campaign (e.g., Madrid⇔Hong Kong and Paris⇔Hong Kong) can take place in multiple cities on the same day and at the same time,
However, it was not possible to apply at the same time because of an error when going from one waiting room page to the next (double login problem?).
You can only participate in one first-come, first-served event at the same time, so you need to narrow down the number of tickets you are applying for to one before you try to apply. (As long as they are held at different times, you should be fine!)
