Are there any unpublished benefits to being an elite Marco Polo Club member?
Marco Polo club members usually enjoy a personal welcome from the Inflight Service Manager on board their flight, although with the increasing number of members following the folding of Dragonair’s loyalty programme into the Marco Polo Club, members have reported that this does not always take place. Depending on the crew, members may enjoy priority meal choice or smuggled extras from higher cabins. We repeat that this is entirely at the discretion of the crew and is not a “right”. Obviously, the higher your tier status, the more informal recognition you can expect from Cathay staff. Diamond card members are also given a buggy voucher to use at Hong Kong International Airport when their departing flight is parked at a gate higher than 40.
