Woah first time in front of camera in your channel!!!!! Looking good!!! And thanks for making video again. We thought u quit.. Looking forward to all ur upcoming videos
I'm 6'4 and I pick them simply because of the bed. Other airlines are horrible because I'm essentially in a coffin style bed as far as my legs go, no ability to term or lift my knees etc. and honestly the service on Cathay is still great, the lounges are fantastic etc.
I just want to agree that with most airlines you almost have coffin style bed. I can never sleep with the walls direct next to my head and my feet in that little area. I always sleep in a mix of lounge position and bed position. Funny enough the only positive about was (the old) Lufthansa Business Class. Top experience. I had an empty seat next to me though, so i might felt a bit more free than with someone next to me in that 2-2-2 configuration.
1:22 TBH, I quite enjoy these Regional J for short haul like 2-3 hours. Of course the long haul J has more privacy but I am OK with it. I dont particular to choose long haul plane for a short haul trip.
Your presentation is highly interesting to watch. Thank you very much. I flew to Hong Kong from Madrid 4 months ago,by Cathy Pacific Business Class.The for was very good, but on return flight the food on the plane was below standard. However in Hong Kong before boarding my flight I enjoyed a First Class meal in the Business Lounge. 😊
Just took the business class from Jfk to Hkg and Yes you are right the foods and the crews service are not as good as before pandemic. I cannot believe the it gave me sandwich in business class instead beef burger. 😅
when I booked my Fukuoka flight, it was in the Herringbone configuration. Unfortunately, I received their notice - they changed it to the 777-77P config. I'm considering canceling my business class booking and switching to economy, as it's not worth paying the premium fare for just a slightly wider seat. Cathay's service and product quality have been declining, mainly due to their shift in focus from international standards to a more local approach, prioritizing China over global passengers. As long as they stay slightly ahead of Chinese airlines, they'll retain customers. Anyway, this will be my last flight with Cathay; from now on, I'll stick with ANA or Singapore Airlines.
I flew ANA on business class a few years ago from Vancouver to Haneda. When meal order was taken, I opted for Japanese cuisine. Just before the meal was served, the flight attendant told me that only western cuisine was available for me because there were many Japanese passengers in this flight. When the meal order was taken for the second meal, i opted for Japanese cuisine again. Well, unfortunately I was served western cuisine again. Even worse, the flight attendant forgot to take meal order for dad who sat behind me. When I was having my meal, I went to his seat to see what he was eating. Surprisingly, he told me nobody came to take meal order from him. So I looked for the flight attendant to place the order. But she did not make apology to us. She just took the order and walked away. Maybe we are not Japanese. Can you believe it is a five-star airlines?
3:32 I flew Air Canada business class once and I'll never do it again. That tray table was so annoying. Your legs and feet are basically trapped in the lie-flat position with absolute no room to move around. I would rather fly premium economy than that business class seat. Looks like I need to avoid Japan Airlines and Etihad as well.
Qatar is kinda disappointing to me. Flew PE and J class to Europe from HK stopping in Doha, their multinational crews are hit and miss. Some are quite friendly and professional, most of them work with their blanked face and mind. Some even with black face all along the flights. I got the same issue with EK too. QR business lounge @ Doha is nowhere near CX. A la carte is really average and the place gets very crowded. For some reason, I always get shuffled in the shuttle bus to board the plane 100 miles down the terminal, never once I get to board the plane via the bridge. Feels like I'm flying with a budget airline when walking up those staircases along with other pax plus their duty free, suitcases and hand carry.
You pay a fortune to fly business and they have no salt and pepper. The seat foams are too hard and the matress they supply is shit. Food quality is nothig compared to ten years ago and the attitude of the flight crew is frankly shit.

Awesome video
I can’t wait to see Cathay coming back
Dallas to Hong Kong
I recently flew their new Aria suite, i'll make a video of that soon-ish
Qatared is so true, they changed the aircraft 5 h before my flight and instead of qsuite, I got to try their oldest business class seats 😅
I actually loved this seat on my recent flight to Beijing in may. Perfect for a 2 hour flight. I wouldn’t like it on a long haul though.

Starlux is definitely my favourite business class airline (from the lounge, staff to the amazing Taiwanese elegant and young food.)

Yea their lounge food is always good. Glad u enjoyed

I've heard that's been a common complaint since the pandemic. I wonder if they’re trying to cut costs and serve something more basic.

If you are paying cash then yes go with Ana or sq. But if u r using points then you gotta take what’s available.

Excellent video.
Thank you. Appreciate that

Future new Cathay business seats will become like that also 😅
I realised all airbus a321neo on cathay and the non er 777s (777-300) don't have flat bed business class seats
Yea so be careful. But even if u flew in these angled seats, for short haul, it’s fine.
The food
Why does this seat look identical to the Qatar Airways 777-300er business class seat?
Cathay leased some of their planes to Qatar during the pandemic. Once the contract is over, They will eventually be returned back to Cathay.

which airline are you talking about?😢
They have. You have to ask for them, not ideal but they have them
Is it because people steal them, sorry take them as souvenirs.
