Cathay Pacific Airways, one of the world's leading airlines, has announced a special deal for passengers travelling to Southern China's Pearl River Delta (PRD). On flying Cathay Pacific through its hub, Hong Kong, travellers can connect seamlessly with the high speed ferry to Macau or Shenzhen using the SkyPier at Hong Kong International Airport.
