First time booking a flight with Cathay Pacific and I have a silly question. I'm currently comparing if it would be cheaper for me to book a flight through Capital One where I have my miles or transfer them over to Cathay Pacific and book directly with them.

The only problem is, it looks like CO has a ticket option that is not available on Cathay Pacific -- Economy Essential, which is the middle option between Economy (Light) and Economy Premium. Those two I do see on Cathay Pacific.

Is Economy Essential ever an option through the airline? Or is it some sort of deal/agreement they have with CO and other travel credit cards?

Ideally, I'd like to buy an economy ticket with an option to be able to potentially upgrade later. Thank you for your recommendations and insights!

When trying to speak in Korean, I always find myself overthinking the proper conjugation, usage of grammar, even vocab that I know by heart.

For example, I was writing a 자기소개 and wanted to write 앞으로 잘 부탁하세요, which I believe is technically and grammatically correct but in my head I was like "hmm you learned this as 부탁드립니다, therefore you're incorrect".

How do you overcome this mental block? 😅 I think I'd rather speak confidently but make silly mistakes like this than stutter through a simple sentence because I'm overthinking every part of it. Any advice or recommendations are welcome! 감사합니다.
