ZURICH, SWITZERLAND - EQS Newswire - 15 August 2025 - ASMALLWORLD AG announces the arrival of its Advantage Membership, an exclusive new tier within its membership portfolio, together with the launch of its newest global airline partner, Cathay Pacific.

Designed for travellers looking for premium travel benefits, while earning air miles to fly with some of the world's most iconic airlines, the Advantage Membership provides an attractive entry point into ASMALLWORLD's world of elevated travel experiences.

Among other benefits, Advantage members can choose between 35,000 miles in the form of Cathay's Asia Miles or Miles & More from Lufthansa Group, allowing members to access two of world's largest airline alliance networks.

Alongside other travel benefits, Advantage members will also receive D$250 (GHA Discovery Dollars), which can be spent at over 850 hotels and 45+ brands around the world participating in the Global Hotel Alliance (GHA).

"ASMALLWORLD Advantage is the next step in our mission to make luxury travel more rewarding and offer valuable benefits to our community members. In addition to expanding our longstanding partnership with Lufthansa Group we have also chosen to launch a new strategic airline partnership with Cathay Pacific, with whom we are excited to grow further in Asia and beyond" said Zain Richardson, CEO of ASMALLWORLD.

Welcoming Cathay Pacific as a New Strategic Partner As part of the Advantage Membership launch, ASMALLWORLD is pleased to announce a new partnership with Cathay Pacific, one of Asia's leading premium airlines. Founded in 1946 and based in Hong Kong, Cathay Pacific has established a global reputation for excellence, with a strong focus on service, comfort, and innovation.

Advantage members selecting Cathay Pacific as their airline partner will receive 35,000 Asia Miles, which can be used towards redeeming award flights or upgrades across the airline's extensive network. Cathay Pacific is a founding member of the oneworld alliance, which offers access to a global network of 15 member airlines, including British Airways, American Airlines, and Japan Airlines, unlocking additional opportunities for international travel.
