From wikipedia: The name Cathay originates from the term _Khitan_ - para-Mongolic nomadic people who ruled the Liao dynasty in northern China from 916 to 1125, and who later migrated west after they were overthrown by the Jin dynasty to form the Qara Khitai (Western Liao dynasty) for another century thereafter. Originally, this name was the name applied by Central and Western Asians and Europeans to northern China; the name was also used in Marco Polo's book on his travels in Yuan dynasty China (he referred to southern China as Mangi). Odoric of Pordenone (d. 1331) also writes about Cathay and the Khan in his travelbooks from his journey before 1331, perhaps 1321-1330.
As a hongkonger which have moved to the UK, I can give you some more details about Cathay Pacific. In Hong Kong we call it國泰航空. And it is basically one of the two only running local airlines in Hong Kong (the other one is Hong Kong airlines. The last time I have been on a Cathay is when I moved to UK 2 years ago which I fled in a Cathay B777. The economy seat is pretty good. I have been on first class be4 on Cathay when I travelled to Taiwan on an Airbus A350. It is absolutely fabulous. Seats are one of the biggest I have seen in my life. And you get free Wi-Fi with some resent speed, food tastes amazing as well.
very enjoyable reports Eric.I have flown with Cathay a couple of times in economy and I have to say that they were really great flights.cheers from Athens
flew cathay from singapore to hong kong, somehow cheaper than the budget airline that also flew to hong kong, and was a better experience, pretty good airline
I’m born in HK, I flew with them almost every time I travel, and every flight is amazing and no problems at all. They are literally the best airline I have ever flown in my entire life Fun fact you might don’t know: Cathay Pacific serves ice cream on every flight
@@ericstruk I once flown Cathay Pacific but my parents say that something happened onboard when the plane suddenly flown too fast. When we landed, almost everyone missed the inbound flight as in order to get to our destination, we have to take two flights. Thankfully, the airline managed to get another flight.
I actually am flying spirit to Texas from ny tomorrow but I flew to ny Friday, it was pretty smooth. Idk y ppl hate on spirit. You should do an Africa’s best airlines.
I love your videos you have done amazing again❤ Please could you do some British ones that I fly on like tui vs jet2 holidays? I would appreciate this if you do.
Great Video! Really enjoyed learning about Cathey Pacific. (Suggestion. If you can, you should try the Airline Frenchbee, and it's sister airline Air Caraibes. I flew Frenhbee, and I thought it was great, but I would love to see your opinion on it. Also, i've never flown Air Caraibes, so it would be cool learning about them. IF you can, please take this suggestion in consideration.) Agian, great video.
Cathay opened flights to my city after 5 years and I. Flew them in November from Hong Kong to chennai and its was and since it only recently opened it was kind of empty and I got 2 seat for my self and for a five hour flight it was pretty comfortable
Pls do JetBlue vs Delta I decide before my vacation with of those 2 airlines to chose? Can you help me with that? By the way I love your vids out of all the airline reviewers your my favorite keep up the good work!
Dare: Fly on every type of plane that SAS flies, They are the A330, A350, A321, CRJ900, A319, A220 and the E195, If possible try to fly on the A319 with the retro SAS livery, registration is OY-KBO
We are tired of seeing prices go up every year while quality goes down. Add to that the sweatshop controversy and it's easy to go to other more affordable brands. As you said, kislux really popular
Yeah, I had my first experience with facial recognition when I was leaving Thailand because they no longer put an exit stamp in your passport, kinda sketchy.
OOOHLALALALALALALALALALALALALA under an hour? Niceeee! I think a GREAT video would be flying Flysafair! It’s named the best budget airline in Africa and one of the most punctual airlines in the WORLD. It would be a great video since you’ve never done an African video!
Hey Eric your content is amazing quick request in some time in the enar future can you do a Easyjet ve Ryanair please I know your getting a lot of requests so its fine if you cant :)
Cathay is a mind blowing airline, my grandparents flew them and they said is was a crazy experience, we love you Cathay!!
