On this new journey we are embarking on a 16 hour flight from Chicago (ORD) - Hong Kong (HKG) on Cathay's Pacific flagship first class cabin
There are a lot of standout moments in this video and the flight product in specifically, such as trying the traditional Chinese menu that Cathay offers, it was a packed multi course meal that took my palette on a journey of its own.
The food in order is as follows; (CX first class menu)
- Caviar
- Abalone + plum chicken soup
- Braised ribs
- Cheese plate
On the next video you can watch me visit the famous Cathay first class lounge in HKG (The Wing/The Pier)
I'm just a regular dude also and, due to another airline's awards travel program, have flown Cathay Pacific 1st Class from SFO thru HKG to several SE Asian countries probably 15 times in the past. Cathay 1st and Business are fabulous experiences!! This was a great video experience reminder for me. God, how I can't wait to get back out. Hopefully next year, COVID situation permitting.
A great video of your experience on Cathay ... am looking forward to more ... 🤗🍷
400th subscriber, looking forward to another one of these cathay videos, keep up the good work
I have seen a lot of aviation videos but none like this. This was truly how would you feel like in an airplane instead of those heavily edited videos. Loved it, have to subscribe now. Keep rockin
That is one of the nicest comments I’ve received! Thank you so much
He is so chilled nd well sorted out! His attitude is infectious
First video I've watched and I love it already
It's so fun to watch a newbie.
Very cool! Look forward to your next video
Nice flight, thanks for sharing 👍
THIS is a travel video...not entitled but amazed!
I wish I could fly first class one day :)) Great video man!
10:02 thhe thing you were eating was abalone, one of the most expensive seafood in the world
Such a relaxed video and I fully rate that hoodie such a fit!! Top job boss
I remember that feeling of flying up front for the first time....champers tastes so much better .
Bro I hope you do become a major vlogger! Definitely would love to see more videos like this!
thank you ! I have lots of videos coming up from my backpacking trip of Asia, i hope you enjoy the stories I’m about to share
Pampered with Champagne, Wellcome drinks, snacks, goodies and amenities... as he arrived at his seat!! CATHAYPCIFIC THE Very Best Airline, unbeatable Great service!!! ^^°^^
The service on Cathay is so good
liked before video started
Nicely done.
I love this video..cool and funny. I enjoy...keep laughing :D so love Cathay much
Thank you so much for the nice comment !
I would have spent the whole flight eating just the cheese boards and red wine. Lunch looked amazing
You’re so cool and chill. Also, nice trousers 👍🏻
Hello Leather Tendencies..your trip report is so amazing,,,,greeting from Indonesia, happy friday morning.
Thank you for the nice comment 🤩
I have videos in Indonesia if you would like to check those out too
@@LeatherTendencies wouuu so amazing, iam check your list video now..
Como disfruto ese viaje mi niño
Definitely worth a subscribe and a like !!
United Computers Thank you for both 🙏🏻
loved your video. i felt just as excited watching you in first class and all that yummy food, as probably you was. hope your nose bleed wasnt serious. i see you was in Hong Kong may this year whilst the Covid19 was around, did you have to quaranteen soon as you arrived there? hope to see more of your fantastic vids :)
DEN ROSE thank you for watching my video, the nose bleed wasn’t too bad thankfully
I landed in Hong Kong the 20th of January earlier this year, I believe there were no reported cases in Hong Kong at the time so no procedures like there today
It seems like they revamp the service a little, a proper champagne glass and hot towel. And it's very brave of you to try abalone LOL The FA should have left you some bread for your cheese course.
It's ABALONE at 10:07 and I usually eat them at Chinese New Year with my family
Very good video 👍
Wait, no dedicated boarding at ORD? Interesting. But love the simple unvarnished style of your vlogging.
Yes, I enjoy eating abalone too, among all other seafood!
been on first class on cathay just a few times, but it was because my father had a bussiness trip
You a fine piece of leather and so well put together 😜
i recommend you include a scene for take off in timelaps and add in some vintage modern music
cool video love it
Thank you 😊
Loved your video. I have booked HK to Paris in first class for September 2022 and looking forward for this. One question about the pajamas: at what point do you change, is it right after lunch/dinner?.
I decided to change after lunch!
Hopefully the rules and regulations will have fully relaxed by then in HK! Good luck!
@@clementtong7113 Thank you. I have cancelled my booking with them and rebooked with Qatar Airways. Some day I will fly Cathay, I'm sure.
@@Lautaro_Guindulain Oh no! That's very sad! Enjoy your flight on Qatar and hopefully you will return to travelling with CX in the future!
but your on your way to success
What a great flight haha. One tip, do not wear your pajamas out of the flight, they're only meant for sleeping and then change back once you're up
If you check my next video I went to Cathay’s First Class lounge to take a shower and change right away, best feeling after 16 hours
Leather Tendencies you make good videos, definitely subscribed! Keep them coming
What software you use to stitch the video together? I love Cathay..always fly with Cathay!
I use Final Cut Pro
And agreed, Cathay is very nice !
Looks like a great experience. 🥂👏
Out of interest, is there a particular meaning / reason behind the name Leather Tendencies? 🤔
I’m into leather
Leather Tendencies Ha. Fair enough.
The soup is just a soup, the abalone is something that you can cut by knife to eat😂I just cannot resist myself to leave a comment
Awesome video! How much was that first class ticket?
Used airline miles so I only paid about $30 in taxes
bro your fit is bomb i have to subscribe
I appreciate that, I have even more fire fits on my insta @leather_tendencies
I think last time I went on first class was also on cathay
Hey cool trip, how did you pay for your first class ticket on Cathay?
E X airline miles
also did you ask the flight attendant to make your bed? you can do that and they set up a blanket and a bed sheet and becomes a bed
Clarence Chan I told the flight attendant I request turn down service later on but ended up falling asleep and sleeping for like 8 hours 😇
@@LeatherTendencies haha, wow 8 hours, good!
I was expecting better of Cathay. The food didn't look that amazing - it is just they served a lot of it. You should have shown the dessert. It looked like you were eating at PF Changs with cheese plate and caviar thrown in.
I wish the seat was a little more private and you could block the aisle out when you sleep. I see you used miles. I've never seen first class open up on Cathay when using AA miles , only business.
You shouldn't put abalone in Xueer sweet soup😂😂😂😂 10:00
Ben Wong yea haha I saw him did that then i said What! Oh no!....
Ben Wong I had no idea what I was doing
@@LeatherTendencies don't worry about, all in good humor, you obviously had a lovely time and so did I watching your video :)
Matan Cohen thank you for the nice comment !
Ah, how I miss the pre-Covid days. FA's were more welcoming and talkative.
Nowadays FA's act like zombies thinking the same thing you're thinking: "Don't touch me or breathe in my face !"
I can see why lotta folks like this vid. A very spontaneous feel to it. And you're a brave man making the right choice ordering the local cuisine, Asian carriers do it best ! But the soup ain't for dipping 😄
Good job, bro !
Abalone goes into the soup bro! It’s not like chicken nuggets....🤣🤣🤣
You walked off the plane in your pjs, didn’t you? 😂
yes 😅 went straight to the lounge to shower and put on comfy clothes
that airport is based
What happened to social distancing?
This was filmed prior to Hong Kong having any cases
Was this a priority boarding? If it was not the caviar, I would say it was a business class.
Good review but I am really weary of EVERY flight reviewer having to sit in seat 1A. It would be nice to see some other perspectives of the cabin once in awhile, but none of you seem willing to provide it.
Hahaha originally I wanted 2A, but unfortunately that was the only seat that was taken
Then I spent 30 minutes deciding on which seat I should pick
At 08:47, that does not look like seafood…….
Good job for starting a vlog. Really successful start. Keep it up, just talk to the viewers/camera a bit more. Interact. that's it!
Way better than Sam Chui
First time travelling on a plane. Wen u can’t use chopsticks why not use proper cutlery......
This must have been pre Covid don't see anyone wearing masks 😷 Time machine please 🥺
Indeed it was, good times 😞
UA-camr nobody.....1st class fish out of water.......
Lounge entrance is ugly...looks like a hospital door!!!! Just saying its not a review...just observing...
Lounge in Chicago share with different airlines, first class lounge in Hong Kong is fabulous, first class lounge in Hong Kong does not co-mingle with business class lounge, however, every lounge in Chicago is below averages. Only US Polaris is most upgraded, the international lounges in Chicago international airport is not the same as most foreign countries.
Tired of seeing all flight reviewers ALWAYS having to sit in seat 1A. As soon as I see this I click off the video.
Thankfully I’m not a flight reviewer 😊
