Advice on ma first ever trip to the uk...

From considerable experience you will need a copy of the Credit Card with Cathay. BUT make sure that the CVC (the 3/4 digit security number) is completely blanked out. Your BF's insurance would be invalid if the card was illegitimaely used and it was found to be because someone had used the card data based on getting the details from seeing the photocopy.

It is also a good idea to have a letter of authorization from your BF. Pro-forma below

Thats exactly what I've meant in my previous posts and exactly the kind of letter I've equipped my Maricel with when she's been travelling in here - although it was addressed "to whom it may concern"
But from what she told me they basically asked just for the copy of the credit card used for booking, which she had as well - sent her scan of my card with CVC blacked out through e-mail together with the letter

Another way if you have the time to prepare is ask your Credit card company to issue a credit card in the Wifes name on your account.

Then she has the Card in her name and on her. But of course this takes a bit of arranging in the first place and self control of the Wife

CX are normally OK with just the Credit Card photocopy. But not always - so best be safe. My experience is that Cebu Pacific always want it and Aboitiz (Superferry) not only want the letter but invaraiably require to verify on the phone as well at check in!!!!!!

Note the pro-forma needs the credit card holders address & phone plus e-mail contact details at the top of the letter - especially important for Aboitiz.
