It’s about 11” that’s what she said 😂

I can appreciate your review as I plan to fly Cathay from California to Manila, the first time since before 2020. I last flew them the summer of 2019 and have always enjoyed my experience with them. They're the only airline I flew to MNL. I was looking for recent reviews as I have also read about the issues that plagued them since 2020. Thank you for your insights.

They are absolutely in their rights to recline, might be inconvenient for you/me but then i just recline too and thats the end of it

Would you recommend flying EVA but having miles credited to an aeroplan account? Or should I have them deposited to an EVA mileage acct?

Thank you for sharing. May spurge for my trip to the Philippines later this year.

Nice review ! Very nice

I flew with Cathay a few years back. I didn't like the seats in the economy compared to others. The worst was the unfriendly staff. Very impatient when I observed them with others and myself. The best service I ever received was Singapore and Korean Air. They are very attentive to details and customer service.

Westjet smells like curry and armpit thanks to our immigrants

Update on my previous comment here. Ill be flying Frankfurt-Taipei, via HongKong with Cathay in 10 days. First time flying trans continental, and in Business.

I got lucky enough to get upgraded on a max8 and it was my first experience. It was nice.... Very nice..... But worth it on a 2 hour flight? No.

I love a zone 1 boarding so much

barf bag method is top tier

Were you able to select your seat for free or did you have to pay the fee? I need the legroom so I'm always debating between PE or the extra $185 for the emergency exit in regular economy.

Hi! Does the 777-300er Premium economy have their own bathrooms exclusive to PE and not regular economy. On the map of the plane it looks like there are no washroom at the front of Premium and only at back to which economy seats can also access?

This was great! ❤

I flew Cathay on 5 flights earlier this year and the only problem I found was that the crew generally seemed understaffed. Maybe 2-3 more crew per cabin will fix that. Besides that I think Cathay is on the way up again, they’re partnering with many Michelin star restraunts for their on board dining, they’re releasing new seats (although their reverse herringbone is my favourite seat in the sky), they recently put out a new safety video and boarding music, they’re renovation and building 3 new lounges, they just ordered 30 brand new A330-900neo’s to replace their orders A330-300’s and they also just announced the aim to add 20 more destinations by the end of 2025. Honestly I think we all just need to have some faith in Cathay because I really think that they can be just like SIA again one day.

EVA is a good airline except they are more expensive than other airlines. I would think PE is good because you are in your own section with a lavatory. Because there is a small section for PE you get your food faster than if you were in economy. Also with EVA you get two extra sides than economy.

Excellent video. Economy ($1400 sfo-bkk) by design or Premium economy ($2800 sfo-bkk). Actually flew economy last month. Actually quite nice until on the 2nd leg, the guy reclined it to the max. 1 vote for no recline. 🤣

Cathay business model - Good service for passengers who can speak english. Good service for those who look like white people.

You just got a sub ❤️

I was groovin’ until you mentioned some seats face after. No. No thanks. I’m outta here.

airplane bathroom foot lever garbage one of the best features!!

Great review, and good to know about the delta between economy and premium economy. I've never flown EVA so this is super helpful. Keith has often talked about how great their business class is compared to other airlines but I don't believe he's flown premium economy so this is a good intro for me. I'm not sure if I would fly PE from Van to Taipei or just splurge on a business class flight (on points) like Keith did when he went diving in Indonesia last year.

This is a really great review, Isabelle! I always enjoy how thorough you are when going through your entire experience from lounge to take off to landing. And love the tips on what to avoid. The Room sounds incredible and will definitely keep it in mind for a future trip to Haneda Airport.

I fly Eva Air quite a bit and used to fly Premium Economy just to get to Alliance Gold faster. Now that im Gold I have returned to flying economy again since last year. Economy is ok IF you guaranteed exit row seats. Gold members get to choose those free so I will continue to fly Eva economy. My next flight the P.E seats were going for $2,500.00. I purchase my exit row seat in economy for $1099.00. I always have 6 to 8hr layover there in Taipei airport. Its tolerable with free lounge access 🙂

You lucked out and didn't get the cucumber starter which has to be the cheapest starter in airline history. Oh and it tastes horrible.

Don’t take Eva PE class 50-60+ seats Short of staff 垃圾航空公司

Thanks for the review. I am flying with EVA to Thailand and purchased my ticket via Capital One travel portal. Little did I know I am not able to pay extra for an upgrade. Would prefer to be in Premium Economy on a long flight. Anyways, thanks again for doing the review. BTW- I find your voice very pleasant.

Maybe maybe … after Covid19 Cathay is more like Mainland China standard now, since they control everything… cheap, rude and ignorant 😮

Never again in Air Canada, the worst fligjt experienced i ever had!

I flew Air Canada Signature Class last month ( June 2024 ) from Sydney, Australia to Vancouver and found it to be an excellent product. Food was very good , the service spot on and the pods comfortable.

It’s amazing you were able to find these flights at such low points rate, usually around 200K to 300 K points

Very good content but I had a hard time listening to your voice... sorry...

Thank you. That was a fantastic review and really helpful. We will be flying this flight from Toronto to and from Hong Kong later in the year. I think overall it looks great and what we paid for. I flew Qatar Q suites a couple of years back and my headrest was broken and the seat never went completely flat so these things can happen even on the top rated airlines.

That food looks pretty amazing for airplane food! And I’m not mad at a warm pizza for a snack 😍

personally get more annoyed with ppl kicking my seat from behind than recliners in front of me 🤷🏻‍♂️

Winder if the CCP has anything to do with their 'decline'.

Old style business class.

Nice review Thank you

CX is now partially owned by the communist HK government. It fired many good people for political reasons.

Sorry for the judgemental comment! I didn’t really go through the whole video and it’s certainly nothing personal, but after watching from @19:13…🙏🏻 i think one of the reasons that we have low morale is because we’re getting paid almost 50% less and the company still expects us to do 150%. And our passengers have such a high expectation for us because of the former us. That really stresses us out. Like what you mentioned in the video, we aren’t being extremely friendly because we are tired and we are sick of the company lying and exploiting us, but then again i really do think there’s a reason for those who stay. I am really truly content to see my passengers smile, even though i am exhausted and not happy working for this company. YOU are the motivation that keeps us going. I like when seeing my passengers happy even when things happen. I like when they credit my hard work, my preparation as I’m telling you I remember every single name in business class, at least in my responsible aisle. It may not be MR jackfreksondave but Jack will do! I love when hearing my passengers say thank you instead of taking everything for granted that we’re their servant, technically we’re, but you know what i mean. It makes me so happy serving people. That’s why i stayed.

Are you using asian miles?😂 as crew this is one type of passenger we hate the most…they eat everything and get everything just to make their money worth. Real business class passengers don’t eat that much as they have done the lounge before getting on a flight! Aeroplane food is super super unhealthy 😂 nowadays people Flying 16 hours they don’t even bother walking into the galley and ask for the thing they need. Do they even know the attendant call light is supposed to be used for emergency? I bet they don’t. If you’re stuck in the middle or in the window I understand. Those who are in the aisle or next to the galley, I don’t know what they are thinking. Can’t they walk? If not what are their feet for. They have no idea how much walking it involves working on a flight. No enough rest, low salary. Too much workload and not having enough manpower. CX is becoming a budget airline now. So don’t expect much, not anymore!

Lounges at 2:53. There are much better business class lounges than Air Canada. The problem with AC is there are no real Canadian competitor airlines for international flights. So people often get stuck with the airline.

Air Canada has some of the highest priced tickets per km compared to other airlines.

Very nice review. Ty !

Thanks for letting me see the Park Hyatt vicariously before the renovation closes it. But how could you skip out on the iconic water aerobics class? You could have channeled your inner Bill Murray. :P

Air Canada is the WORST !

14:27 I have such hate for 'cold in the center' food. They really need to retrain staff as it's quite an unpleasant experience, I hate to send anything back but this is unacceptable. Thanks for sharing your experience

A few years ago I took trip from the east coast of Canada to Alberta. We were going to be out there for a month and when we got off the aircraft there was news that some AC people would be going on strike. For three weeks the strike threat was hanging over my head and I absolutely had to be back by a specific date. Finally I had enough and decided to go home early, with my wife and kids staying with the grandparents. The change in ticket went OK, wasn't crazy expensive and all was going well. I arrived at the airport really early and the AC lady at check in was taking good care of me. Then her radio went off. It turns out that a full aircraft had left the gate, went about 50 metres and then something broke. The passengers needed to be unloaded, and for them it was about to be hot, frustrating, miserable, and a whole lot of hurry up and wait. My lady radioed that as soon as she was finished with me she'd come out to help. At this point a co-worker came up to her and snarled at her that she had a break coming and that she was to take it before she went out. So the passengers endured extra time on a hot airplane and once again the staff and management of Air Canada prove their motto, "At Air Canada, we're not happy until you're not happy." Oh, they never did go on strike.

Cathay is still one of the best. It didn't get higher because some airlines paid to be high on the Skytrax ranking.
