Status Points Calculator
Calculate Status Points on Cathay and Oneworld partner flights, track your tier from Green to Diamond, and unlock The Pier — the world's best airport lounge.
What is Cathay Pacific Membership?
Cathay Pacific's loyalty programme (formerly Marco Polo Club, now unified under the Cathay membership brand) uses two distinct currencies: Asia Miles for reward redemptions and Status Points for tier qualification. As a Oneworld member, Cathay tier status maps to alliance recognition — Cathay Gold and Diamond both qualify for Oneworld Emerald, the highest alliance tier.
Status Points are earned on Cathay-operated flights and Oneworld partner flights, making it possible to build Cathay status entirely through partner flying on BA, Qatar, JAL, or other Oneworld carriers without flying Cathay metal.
Cathay Status Tiers
| Tier | Status Points Required | Oneworld Status |
|---|---|---|
| Green | 20 (entry) | Ruby |
| Silver | 300 per year | Sapphire |
| Gold | 600 per year | Emerald |
| Diamond | 1,200 per year | Emerald |
Cathay Diamond — Oneworld's Most Coveted Emerald
Cathay Diamond is widely considered one of the most desirable Oneworld Emerald equivalents. It unlocks access to The Pier First Class lounge at Hong Kong International — frequently rated the world's finest airport lounge — along with First Class check-in, complimentary companion upgrades, and expanded baggage allowances globally.
Hong Kong (HKG) is the world's third-busiest aviation hub for cargo and a major transfer point for Asia-Pacific travel. Cathay Diamond members benefit from exceptional lounge access on a disproportionately large number of Oneworld itineraries through HKG.
Using BA Avios on Cathay Pacific
British Airways Executive Club members can redeem Avios on Cathay Pacific-operated flights as partner awards. Routes between London Heathrow and Hong Kong — and onwards to destinations across the Asia-Pacific Cathay network — represent some of the most strategically valuable Avios redemptions in Business Class, where the Honeymoon Suite or Aria Suite product delivers exceptional quality.

Cathay Pacific — Frequently Asked Questions
Does Cathay Pacific use Avios?
Cathay Pacific uses Asia Miles as its reward currency, not Avios. However, BA Executive Club members can redeem Avios on Cathay-operated flights as Oneworld partner awards. Status Points are the separate tier qualification currency.
What Oneworld status does Cathay Diamond carry?
Cathay Diamond equals Oneworld Emerald — the highest alliance tier — granting access to First Class lounges worldwide including The Pier in HKG, First Class check-in, and priority services across all 14 Oneworld member airlines.
What is The Pier lounge at Hong Kong?
The Pier is Cathay Pacific's First Class lounge at HKG, consistently rated the world's best airport lounge. Features include private dining rooms, The Cabin rest pods, shower suites, and a dedicated outdoor terrace. Access requires Cathay Diamond, Oneworld Emerald, or a First Class ticket on Cathay.
Can I earn Cathay status on BA flights?
Yes. Cathay Status Points can be earned on British Airways flights when you credit travel to your Cathay membership account, using standard Oneworld partner earning rates based on fare class and distance.
