love how your bf has evolved from being "shy" in front of the camera in your earlier videos to being more comfortable .......and funny..... you 2 make a great couple
@@JaydenWong keep up the good work...i look forward to your weekly trip report....right now trying to decide which plane to fly to KOREA in the fall to visit family...SINGAPORE, JAPAN, KOREA, EMERATES,..etc????? will fly business as it is a long flight...maybe since flying from east coast..break it in LONDON before flying on...coming back will fly into LOS ANGELES... have fun with your mother in LONDON...
As someone who has the 2 of them as their favourite airline and as Cathay as most flown airline ever. I think Cathay has better hard products, apart from first class, but Singapore airlines have much better crew and staff. Also their lounges are both top notch! Great video as always Jayden!🎉
國泰航空 - 亞洲脈搏亞洲心。👍 The Pier, HKG, is easily the best biz class lounge in the world. 🤟 Love this old IFE interface - much easier to navigate than the new one. 🙏
How did you like the experience? by the way it's actually known to someone who would do United States to Cebu directly by avoiding Philippine Airlines Manila transfer. From CEB to EWR/JFK/LAX/SFO the following East Asian airlines offer it BR/CI via TPE🇹🇼 SIN SQ🇸🇬 CX HKG🇭🇰 ICN KE/OZ🇰🇷.
@@EpicThe112 It was pretty lovely. I was flying in economy. Despite being only a two -hour flight, it really gives off a full-service vibe. Maybe the airport experience also added to it. I actually have to go back to Manila after landing in Cebu as I'm based in Manila lol. So I still had a very bitter taste of MNL woes that day.
Great video, Jayden! I miss the HKG lounges. Hope to get back there soon. Nice to see the service levels being so good on the flight. Boy, I see why you went to that resort. What a gorgeous place! I hope you had an awesome time.
Basically CX offers more delicious food while SQ's service is pretty attentive to detail and straight from heart, so which one is better really depends on what you are looking for.
For me as a German, it´s very nice to see how your videos help me get to know Asia better and make me want to travel there. Mr. 6"4 is becoming more and more confident with the camera, very nice🙂 I really like your videos and I´m looking forward to the next ones to come😀👍
SO happy you have a great partner 🙂 Same for us, 19 years AU and TH together = ZERO arguments, not so bad! Our VERY BEST to you both, regards from Phuket 🙂
I will be taking this route in autumn, CX or Cebu Pacific... I ran to PALs site to check after your great tip, but nowadays it appears much more expensive that way (4000HKD return) 😅 For late this year, pricing is above 3000HKD, but the standard is referenced 2700HKD here. I will track and see how the fares go and guess they are just pricing ahead to maximise revenue and should decrease as season comes. Do wish CXs in town check in were more extensive! Nice Sumilon vblog, in my trip's case there will be heaps of island hopping. Then it is Cebu Pacific, and a bunch of ATRs...
Wow, lots of comments! Congrats on that! I love your candid voice over in the "city blogs" and seeing the destinations. The airline review was super thorough for such a short flight. So cool to see HK in the "cold" as you say, then in beach weather. The 5 hour taxi ride would be a bit brutal for me, but the hotel looks like it's worth it! This production seemed to cut off at the end without your usual ending. Maybe a part-2 is in the works? ;)
yep it was cut off🙄 I only just realised this when someone else told me. It wasn’t uploaded properly and I only reviewed the original file on my laptop so I missed it😭
It was still great though...kind of left us "wanting more"....I wouldn't have thought much about it except I wanted to see more of that sunshine! @@JaydenWong
Great trip report JW. Definitely an Aussie accent from the flight deck! Love Cebu went there with my Filipino husband a few years ago and what a beautiful island/resort you stayed at! CX has certainly increased their service, great to see, and good to see 6'4" enjoying himself, especially all of the food!
I always fly CX ( also a Marco Polo member ) Adelaide to HK but sadly i do not think they will ever return to service this route. Happy to change allegiance to SIA . Crew are much more friendly on SIA
I love it when airlines fly widebodies regionally since i mostly just fly regionally irl (i live in hk btw), but ngl im liking what ive seen of the cx a321neo and sq 737max.... The cx a330 and sq 787 and a350 regional are another level though fr
Fun fact: I was a passenger on B-HLT, sitting in 42A as well back in 2017 😂😂 they were the fixed shell seats instead of the ones in the video though lol
As usual a great vlog Jayden Cathay still has a co long way to go to get back on a level comparable to Singapore Airlines in my opinion. Jayden anything involving scare canada is 1000 times more expensive than it needs to be
Great review! The food looked good, I like that there is metal cutlery.. appeared to be a seamlesss, comfortable flight. The resort looked a. It dated but very clean. Was it windy the entire stay? How was the food? The scenery was beautiful. Thanks!
There was a time when Sumilon Island used to be a marine sanctuary - and just that and off the beaten path. Now, it seems to be going the way of Boracay.
Does Cathay Pacific serve hot towels? Because, I flew in economy class onboard Singapore Airlines and they served us hot towel immediately onboard before takeoff and there was free wifi onboard as well
No there’s only antiseptic wipes but Cathay serves you a proper meal with metal utensils, you’d only get a boxed meal & wooden utensils on Singapore Airlines
Economy prices are very similar between SIN-HKG. SQ tend to have lower fares from Australia to Asia/North America and CX cheaper to Europe. One thing to note, at Changi, Cathay fly out from the newer T4 (security right after/before immigration) and SQ is T3 (security at gate)
Even though the B-HLT looks very old, it is still in excellent condition. The older first generation A333s have the middle cabin with lights in the centre, but the second generation A333s have the middle cabin with no lights in the centre. But nevertheless, at least you have the HD widescreen. Personally, SQ fleet look much younger than CX in therms of average fleet.
Good Evening from the JFK/EWR area. You're correct about the SQ meals being in boxes but SIN-MNL on SQ gets a tray like CX921 HKG-CEB and the A321neo HKG-MNL CX907. Locals going to the US from Cebu usually go on Korean Air Asiana EVA Air China Airlines Cathay and Singapore Airlines Asian option. Via the Middle East Qatar Airways Turkish and Emirates. 6:22 That's the Alternative to Etravel which the Philippines does require now to enter CEB/MNL from HKG. I knew that because I did it for my mum when she entered MNL from JFK/BKK and also departure. I have a question for you and 6'4 which one of these aeroplanes will you pick to the Philippines MNL/CEB from Australia and Hong Kong these CX B-HLx like B-HLT which you flew on this video B-LBx B-LAx A330-300s B-HPx A21Ns B-LRx B-LQx B-LXx A350s B-KPx B-KQx B77Ws? PR versions of those CX planes are RP-C8760-8789 A330-300 A321neo RP-C9930-9939 RP-C7771-7782 B77W RP-C3501-3508 A359s A35Ks possibly the 3509 and up. In CEB you find those aeroplanes from PR on the domestic side. Saw this first on your Bilbili account then here. 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Sorry Jayden you had to ride 5 hours to the resort 😢 There are many more places to explore my hometown but the roads are still not for high speed travel. Thanks for visiting my home town
SQ crew used to be better but dont know now after covid things nay have changed as i heqrd the quality n standards of the crew have fallen as in needing to quickly just bring in the bodies to do the work with flights resuming expansions
Pre-covid I would say Cathay was clearly the superior product for Economy to Business. Now, Cathay is still better for Economy and Premium Economy. For Business, it depends: long haul maybe Singapore, short and medium hall probably Cathay. The Cathay lounges are vastly superior (more of them, emptier, better food, much better design) but Singapore is more consistent with service on board and their long haul business class seat is superb. I really like Cathay's food for Business but I know consensus loves Singapores more. Entertainment Cathay has a better selection but SQ is pretty good too. Airports: Changi is better as a tourist destination itself but the terminal design is awkward, the carpet is so deep making it difficult to roll your suitcase, and security is awfully placed at the Gates. Changi wins awards but it's not as pleasant to transit through. I know for non HK residents, HK Immigration can take time, whereas Changi is more efficient. Things might change though. The Aria Suite on Cathay will bring the hard product advantage squarely for Cathay for everything aside from First Class.
I think the biggest problem cathay's 330s have is the older seats, but good to know that at least u got the newer ife interface on ur flight. The meals indeed seem nicer than SQ's catering, but to be fair cathay also offers much less on teir shorter flights to taiwan, hanoi, or even manila
Might prove to be a bigger loss for business class passengers tho, they end up getting outdated recliners from the dragon days instead of the super diamond seats
Hey Jayden, wanted to ask for your opinion, so I had just booked my flight with CX then I got seat 40K do you think it’s way too close to the front, to get a good shot of both the wing & the engines? Thank You!
Hi Jack, Cathay has several types of A330 configuration, best to check here and see which one you got, it'll also show you the window position of location of the wings. www.aerolopa.com/cx
Hi Jayden enjoyed your plane flight gee there was a lot for breakfast on some of the flights I've been lucky to get a rock hard muffin for breakfast. My 2 son's are going to Cebu in September. I hope you both enjoy it.
@@JaydenWong It's actually doesn't matter where they fly, they fly to their alliance hub or not it's irrelevant, in fact many airlines fly to the destination which is not their alliance hub. Istanbul is now growing to become a major destination for tourist's & business. CX can fly there with their A350's for connecting the Asia Pacific passenger's to Istanbul since if they fly nonstop with TK it's more expensive.
@@NadifPutra787_9 it certainly does! Majority of the TK pax transit at IST hence they can fill up the plane (and make fares pricey for those starting or terminating at IST). CX won't be carrying much to/from IST alone. FRA is a good example. Not a oneworld hub but Cathay codeshares with Lufthansa to fill up the 'empty seats'. Lufthansa on the other hand, fly to HKG and pax can transit to NZ with Cathay. Indeed many airlines don't fly to their partner hubs but there must be a strong reason for them to do so. Tourism/business is one: Do HKers or Turkish people travel A LOT between the two? Any culture ties? I'm afraid not, when I was in Türkiye last month I didn't encounter a single person from HK, whereas in London they're everywhere. (2) cargo is big business for Cathay, I can't speak for CX here but if Cathay could bring a lot of goods to/from Türkiye they could make the route viable even with a passenger plane.
@@JaydenWong(1): It is uncomparable to compare between Istanbul and London for HKers, these cities are fairly different in terms of cultural & economic reasons, London and Hong Kong is one of the world largest financial hub and HK was ever been occupied by the British rule for around 150 years, while Istanbul is only for tourism & some business hub. (2): CX can create a codeshare partner with Turkish Airlines to feeding the passengers connecting in Istanbul since TK only fly once between IST and HKG.
These older CX seats on the A330...I don't find them much different comfort-wise than the newer (current) econ seats on rest of the CX fleet. Even though these older seats are slightly wider than the current CX econ seats. I don't know if thats just my strange personal opinion or if it is shared by others. As for CX vs SQ, for economy, CX has better IFE while SQ has better meals, so they are about the same. Its the business and first class that SQ has a bit of an edge over CX. We'll have to wait for CX's new business and first class seats to see how it will be like. Then there is ticket pricing. As you said it yourself, CX isn't known as a cheap airline, yet their product is only above average. SQ isn't necessarily cheap either, but if you factor in their business and first class, they do offer a (slightly) better value for what you are paying.
Hey Jayden! It looks like your bf was dying to speak in your mic 😂 so why don’t you let him speak? We would really like to hear some comments from him 😂😂😂😘😘😘
Cathay food is better Singapore food was egg and some other stuff for lunch only while cathay was rice, chicken and some other things including ice cream For in flight entertainment cathay has more movies than singapore

Glad to see you and your man enjoying some down time. The resort looks grand - love the clear water!

Another great vid, Jayden!
thank you!
I always fly CX ( also a Marco Polo member ) Adelaide to HK but sadly i do not think they will ever return to service this route. Happy to change allegiance to SIA . Crew are much more friendly on SIA
I have high hope they will. They have a shortage of Airbus pilots hence the delay. BNE and PER have 777 right now also due to the pilot shortage
Sure you are enjoying having 6"4 along for the ride!
I had been on both and they are both great.
HKG is always a delight! And Cebu is on my list too! Looks beautiful. ❤
Some handsome extras walking around in the background for some of those terminal scenes.
🤣
Cathay needs to make their order for A330 replacements soon. Good job keeping the seats so nice after 22 years
I hope they go for the 787-9/10 for the replacement
I love it when airlines fly widebodies regionally since i mostly just fly regionally irl (i live in hk btw), but ngl im liking what ive seen of the cx a321neo and sq 737max....
The cx a330 and sq 787 and a350 regional are another level though fr
haha they are not bad, do prefer wide body still, feels more like proper flying
Fun fact: I was a passenger on B-HLT, sitting in 42A as well back in 2017 😂😂 they were the fixed shell seats instead of the ones in the video though lol
oh yuck those seats hahah
curious why you prefer qantas hk lounge over cx the pier? great vid as always 🎉
big open space :) yet great privacy
hey Jayden and 6'4" I hope you had a great time in sumilon island
thank you!! We did, and loved it!
Nice one! Imo CX is still among the best in the world
Did you try singing "Baby Shark "😂😂😂😂 We are so appreciative on how your bf has grown confident on camera ❤❤
yes I did hahaha, thank you!
I definitely agree on that the SQ food box is unacceptable at this decade, CX is much nicer.

Tourism/business is one: Do HKers or Turkish people travel A LOT between the two? Any culture ties? I'm afraid not, when I was in Türkiye last month I didn't encounter a single person from HK, whereas in London they're everywhere. (2) cargo is big business for Cathay, I can't speak for CX here but if Cathay could bring a lot of goods to/from Türkiye they could make the route viable even with a passenger plane.
@@JaydenWong i think CX can create a JV partner with TK, so asian pacific passengers after flying CX can directly connected to TK flight on HKG.
@@JaydenWong(1): It is uncomparable to compare between Istanbul and London for HKers, these cities are fairly different in terms of cultural & economic reasons, London and Hong Kong is one of the world largest financial hub and HK was ever been occupied by the British rule for around 150 years, while Istanbul is only for tourism & some business hub.
(2): CX can create a codeshare partner with Turkish Airlines to feeding the passengers connecting in Istanbul since TK only fly once between IST and HKG.

Hi there. Suprised you guys didn’t get food coma before and during the flight 😂 6’ 4” is built for Buisness class. 👍 Cheers guys
15:20, Wow that's a firm and hard landing. Hope the passengers on your flight are okay.
Unfortunately it has less experience pilots and cabin crew and are recruiting from Mainland China thus losing its HK ID...😢
Finally a chest shot!!! Been waiting for 84 years!!! ❤❤❤

These older CX seats on the A330...I don't find them much different comfort-wise than the newer (current) econ seats on rest of the CX fleet. Even though these older seats are slightly wider than the current CX econ seats. I don't know if thats just my strange personal opinion or if it is shared by others. As for CX vs SQ, for economy, CX has better IFE while SQ has better meals, so they are about the same. Its the business and first class that SQ has a bit of an edge over CX. We'll have to wait for CX's new business and first class seats to see how it will be like.
Then there is ticket pricing. As you said it yourself, CX isn't known as a cheap airline, yet their product is only above average. SQ isn't necessarily cheap either, but if you factor in their business and first class, they do offer a (slightly) better value for what you are paying.
Welcome to the Philippines!! I wish you stayed longer and I invite you to visit Davao City, my home airport. 😊
