About Cathay Pacific (from Wikipedia):
Cathay Pacific Airways Limited (CPA), more widely known as Cathay Pacific (Chinese: εζ³°θͺη©Ί), is the biggest airline in Hong Kong, with its head office and main hub located at Hong Kong International Airport. The airline’s operations and subsidiaries have scheduled passenger and cargo services to over 190 destinations and present in more than 60 countries worldwide including codeshares and joint ventures. Cathay Pacific operates a fleet consisting of Airbus A321, Airbus A321neo, Airbus A330, Airbus A350, and Boeing 777 aircraft. Cathay Cargo operates two models of the Boeing 747. Defunct wholly-owned subsidiary airline Cathay Dragon, which ceased operations in 2020, previously flew to 44 destinations in the Asia-Pacific region from its Hong Kong base. In 2010, Cathay Pacific and Cathay Pacific Cargo (then Cathay Cargo), together with Dragonair (then Cathay Dragon), carried nearly 27 million passengers and over 1.8 million tons of cargo and mail.
About Airbus A350 (from Wikipedia):
The A350-900 is the first A350 model; it has a MTOW of 280 tonnes (620,000 lb), typically seats 325 passengers, and has a range of 8,100 nmi (15,000 km). Airbus says that per seat, the Boeing 777-200ER should have a 16% heavier manufacturer’s empty weight, a 30% higher block fuel consumption, and 25% higher cash operating costs than the A350-900.[206] The β900 is designed to compete with the Boeing 777 and 787[207] (777-200ER/LR, and Boeing 787-10), while replacing the Airbus A340-300 and A340-500.

Hong Kong is probably the only place in the entire world where the ethnic majority are being discriminated against…by themselves. Self-hater complex prevails and rots the city from within.
Donβt think for a minute you were given a free upgrade because the Premium Economy class was fully booked. You were upgraded because your name was in their data base of many YT flight reviewers, so why not give you an upgrade which may help to sway your experience. Thanks for the review.
Some smoke shot out of the engine on a VS flight… Hopefully that is normal…. π¬
Carpet Pacific?
wage is USD1,150
Cathay added an extra seat to every row in economy but paired each flight with less flight attendants, hence the tardiness. On a fully booked flight, the economy cabin is a circus.
Do not fly Cathay, period. I will even consider flying United Polaris but will never choose Cathay.
I want carpet on my Cathey flight. FA wouldnβt give me carpet but indtead a RBF. π
7:07 lucky you. Only English speakers or people who can say "I need a blanket" in properly English deserve their blanks on a Cathay flight.
If the discrimination appears in an international company, especially towards the largest client group, that means the company is in the end.
This happens quite often, If you are Emerald/Gold One World, Cathay and BA tend to oversell their Premium (Especially on peak times), so if you are a solo booking and Gold, you will get bumped (I travel to Dubai once a month and 50% of the time this happens to me – The last time I went Hong Kong, Cathey did this as well)
Just flew Cathay Pacific from Seoul to Hong Kong yesterday lmao. Perfect legroom, good meals but again lack of manpowerβ¦. Took them an hour after take off to serve the meal, and another 30mins of waiting after everyone finished their mealsπ
I think the airlines in America are still worse than CX.
Your best choice, Cathy delight π lol
Who is Oscar? I have an idea but dont want to make a mistake saying it ??????????
Although HK has just been reopened to the world recently, HKers take this opportunity and already travelling outside of the city in droves. I am pretty certain most of your flight to HKG was filled with holidaymakers returning to Hong Kong.
Low employee morale, they laid off many people during covid, understandable, but then also cut salaries of remaining employees by some 60%. Now they are inviting former employees back, but losing seniority with starting salaries lower than waiters/waitresses in the city.
kudo for giving Oscar the upgrade…
I'm taking Cathay Pacific for my holiday to China and back (AMS-HKG-CAN and back). Curious to see the Economy class experience. I just hope the first flight leaves and arrives on time as I have a 1 hour and 50 minutes transfer. Thanks Dan for showing us around this video!
