You can transfer increments of 1,000 Citi points into 1,100 Cathay Pacific Asia Miles through 11/14 at 11:59pm ET.

Asia Miles no longer expire, as long as you earn or redeem 1 mile every 18 months.

Cathay Pacific has better award availability on Cathay flights than they release to partners, which makes their miles valuable.

You can search for Cathay and some partner award flights here.

Fuel surcharges for British Airways flights are much cheaper than they are with many other partners.

That being said, you can now transfer Citi points to JAL at a 1:1 ratio, so in many cases, that will be the way to go, though JAL does limit who you can redeem for.
