• Cathay Pacific is Offering Frequent Flyers The Opportunity to Decorate Their Homes Just Like the Airline’s Airport Lounges
  

  The Hong Kong-based carrier is now allowing passengers to buy the same furniture that features in its up-scale premium airport lounges, including a sculptural modular sofa that frequent flyers may be accustomed to seeing in Cathay Pacific’s flagship ‘The Pier‘ First Class lounge.

  The Cloverleaf sofa, designed in 1969 by Verner Panton in Denmark and sourced by Hong Kong’s luxury Scandinavian furniture retailer Manks, could be yours for just US $24,700 (HKD 192,201) or nearly four million frequent flyer miles if you can’t think of anything else to do with your points.

  …Or, how about something to relax in with the Carl Hanson & Son ‘Colonial Chair’ in solid oak with padded leather cushions for a mere $3,334 or 524,640 frequent flyer miles?
