Cathay is a real good and save airline -we had already several flights from Frankfurt to Hongkong -years before with the 747 back to Frankfurt-i would recommend for it 💖
Hey there, Winfried! Thanks for watching! The 747 is a truly wonderful aircraft - I really enjoy seeing the Cathay Cargo 747 when flying from Hong Kong. The newer Cathay A350s are pretty awesome too though! Safe travels 😊✈️
Been flying Cathay from London to Hong Kong as well as Hong Kong to Singapore a few times since early 2023 and early 2024(just got back 2 weeks) and i have to say its been a really great service. Skytrax ranked Cathay number 8 in 2023 which was a high jump considering it was ranked 16th in 2022. In terms of Airport yeah Hong Kong airport is pretty good. I do prefer to eat at Tsui Wah restaurant near the check in area and not so much inside, but as airport goes i would say T3 Changi Airport in Singapore. Cathay from HK to SG arrives at T4 Changi which is not so bad. when that first opened in Singapore it use to be called "Budget Terminal" then rebranded as T4. LOL But i have to say HK airport transport into city is so great!! if its not the fast train to central but i tend to take it to Tsing Yi then MTR to Prince Edward which there is direct bus as well. So Hong Kong beats Singapore in terms of airport transportation this is based on looking a the Changi's MRT and public buses Versus HK express/MTR and the Hong Kong KMB "airport" bus's
Hey there, David! Both are truly great airports - I wish European airports were as good and efficient. Although, to be fair, some airports like ZRH and HEL are pretty good to but are not comparable in terms of passenger throughput. I love the Airport Express in HK too! You probably know already, but you can buy discounted tickets on Klook. Thanks for watching! 😊✈️
@@comfytravels Oh I agree ZRH and HEL are very impressive airports Amsterdam not too bad but in Europe I do really like Munich especially transiting on a Lufthansa flight. Mind you I last did that in 2018 era LDN to Munich to Singapore and I think it was T2 Munich which is very well known of the Airport Alpine brewery called "Airbräu" I never knew of Klook!! thanks for the tip!!

I flew this route (LHR - HK) in Nov 2023... and the service was awful. After dinner the most of the crew disappeared and the only one flight attendant couldn't offer than bottle refill with water...
Great comprehensive review, looking forward to their come back! Looks like (although I'm not certain) you were on an ex-Cathay Dragon aircraft, which utilises a regional config with less legroom than the full fledge Cathay Pacific product. These are usually used for routes to China.
Thanks for visiting HK - 1:10 HK Security and Immigration is super fast - most of the time you are through both security and immigration in 5 minutes even if the queue was as long as the one shown. I am fortunate enough to fly 10+ times return trips to PEK (Beijing) on KA (Dragon Air) - most of which on the 330 - definitely wish they updated the seats on the 330 (but please keep the 32 inches of legroom) - unfortunately I don't think they are bothered enough to do this / will make the pitch =
Hey there, Clement! I wish airports in Europe were as efficient as HK airport. It would save me so much time and energy lol. Agreed - A330 is super comfy for regional flights within Asia despite the old seats. Let’s see what they replace these A330s with! Can’t wait for the 777-9 although Boeing isn’t getting a lot of love at the moment. Thanks a lot for watching! 😊✈️
Just for the reference:The regular cup noodles are only for the long haul flights . Your vegan noodles should be for the vegetarian pax just as a back up in case their meal mis-loaded and that’s only have 2 loaded for the whole aircraft and for both ex-HKG and return sectors. So , don’t be surprised if the crew cannot offer you 😅
@@comfytravelsfair, i think the lack legroom in cathay's 321n really turns off a lot of people. It's the sort of product that you'd want to try at least once, but the 330 feels like a more comforable seat & plane
Really great review. Love your style. Just subscribed hopefully see more!
Thanks a lot for watching and welcome onboard! 😊✈️

@852twm This is a full fledge Cathay aircraft because if you go to 3:04 you can see the long haul business class seat here

When I went to the US last year, I took Cathay Pacific.
Manila-Hong Kong
Hong Kong-San Francisco
San Francisco-Hong Kong
Hong Kong-Manila
Hey there Carlo! That’s really cool - how did you find Cathay? Thanks for watching! ✈️
Cathay Pacific is really a 5-star airline on long haul flights.
Which number was your seat?
My favorite airports are Hong Kong International Airport 🇭🇰, Changi Airport 🇸🇬, & Incheon Airport 🇰🇷
Those are truly amazing airports! I’m a big fan of Haneda too 😊🇯🇵
Haneda🇯🇵 is where I entered when I went to Tokyo. I also like Kansai Airport🇯🇵 in Osaka.
Cathay A330s still have a rather old cabin and old entertainment system, I recommend flying on the A350s or B777s to have a better experience!
Hey there! Absolutely! A330s only operate on Asian routes though - A350s and B777s do all long haul flying thankfully. Thanks for watching! ☺️✈️
Can I charge my apple devices?
So we can ask for cup noodles? 😮
Hey there Jessica! Yes, you can! Thanks for watching 😊✈️

So , don’t be surprised if the crew cannot offer you 😅
Wonder what people would prefer to take between the 330 and the 321n for these relatively short flights
Hey there! Wide-body aircraft always offer a superior experience even on shorter flights, in my view 😃
@@comfytravelsfair, i think the lack legroom in cathay's 321n really turns off a lot of people. It's the sort of product that you'd want to try at least once, but the 330 feels like a more comforable seat & plane
Well, at the very least, i think cathay's 321n has the best seats you can get on a narrowbody
@@sean_king I'll have to give it a go then! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Sean! ✈
Where is the port for the headphones?
Hey there! It’s on the left armrest. Thanks for watching! ✈️😊
