Beginning in 2007, Cathay Pacific launched more methods to check in for flights. Among them were self-check-in using a kiosk at [[Hong Kong International Airport]] and other select destinations and checking in via a mobile phone. Cathay Pacific also launched a mobile application on [[App Store (iOS)|App Store]] and [[Google Play]], formerly named CX Mobile. Passengers can use the application to check flight arrivals and departures, check in for their flights and read about the destinations they are flying to using City Guides. The app has become a hit with passengers, making Cathay Pacific one of the industry leaders in offering mobile services to users of smartphones.<ref>{{cite news|last=Ko |first=Carol |title=Check-in on Cathay Pacific with mobile phones |url=http://www.mis-asia.com/news/articles/check-in-on-cathay-pacific-with-mobile-phones |publisher=MIS Asia |date=22 January 2009 |access-date=2 September 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090130031215/http://mis-asia.com/news/articles/check-in-on-cathay-pacific-with-mobile-phones |archive-date=30 January 2009 }}</ref><ref>{{cite press release|url=https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_GB/about-us/press-room/press-release/2009/en_HK_pressrelease_82.html|title=Cathay Pacific emerges as industry leader with new mobile application|publisher=Cathay Pacific|date=1 September 2009|access-date=23 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161223201250/https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_GB/about-us/press-room/press-release/2009/en_HK_pressrelease_82.html|archive-date=23 December 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>

On 4 January 2011, the cargo division of the airline, Cathay Pacific Cargo, became the first airline operating out of Hong Kong to fully switch to e-[[air waybill]]. This eliminates the need for all paper documents when issuing air waybills. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) selected nine countries and territories and airlines in which to run the e-AWB pilot program, including Hong Kong and Cathay Pacific.<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_SA/about-us/press-room/press-release/2011/cathay-pacific-rolls-out-electronic-air-waybills-in-hong-kong-marking-important-step-in-transition-to-e-freight.html |title=Cathay Pacific rolls out electronic air waybills in Hong Kong, marking important step in transition to e-freight |publisher=Cathay Pacific |date=4 January 2011 |access-date=23 December 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161223141916/https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_SA/about-us/press-room/press-release/2011/cathay-pacific-rolls-out-electronic-air-waybills-in-hong-kong-marking-important-step-in-transition-to-e-freight.html |archive-date=23 December 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===In-flight entertainment===
====StudioCX (2012)====

The first type is the StudioCX system that was launched in 2012. Now, it can only be found in unrefurbished A330s. The old system features movies, TV, music, inflight map and some games. The system is identical to Cathay Dragon's Entertainment (StudioKA).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Cathay Pacific inflight entertainment rated world's best |url=https://news.cathaypacific.com/cathay-pacific-inflight-entertainment-rated-world-s-best |access-date=2022-12-21 |website=news.cathaypacific.com |language=es-ES |archive-date=21 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221221130429/https://news.cathaypacific.com/cathay-pacific-inflight-entertainment-rated-world-s-best |url-status=live }}</ref>

====StudioCX (2016)====

In 2016, following the new A350-900, Cathay Pacific launched the new entertainment system. Even though on the website, it still says it's StudioCX, but on the system, they seem to give up on the old name "StudioCX". The new system features a brand new, modern and lighter design. There are lots of new content from the old system, following a new moving map (rather than the stuck map from the StudioCX system), live TV, reading materials, magazines, news, shopping, Sports24 (only on A350) and more movies. Resolution is 4K on A321s. In 2017, the introduction for the StudioCX is updated.<ref>{{Cite web |last=White |first=Adam |date=2019-07-17 |title=Cathay's New and Improved Inflight Entertainment Library |url=https://discovery.cathaypacific.com/cathays-new-improved-inflight-entertainment-library/ |access-date=2022-12-21 |website=Discovery |language=en-US |archive-date=21 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221221130431/https://discovery.cathaypacific.com/cathays-new-improved-inflight-entertainment-library/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Cathay Pacific Entertainment |url=https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_US/flying-with-us/inflight-entertainment.html |access-date=21 December 2022 |archive-date=21 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221221130432/https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_US/flying-with-us/inflight-entertainment.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />
