CATHAY PACIFIC A321neo ECONOMY (In-town check-in, Qantas Lounge)



G’day, my name is Jayden, welcome back to my channel! This was my 61st flight in 2023; in early July, I flew Cathay Pacific Airbus A321neo in economy class from Hong Kong to Hanoi. I used my Qantas Gold (Oneworld Sapphire) status for perks such as priority check-in and lounge access. Enjoy the video & thank you so much for watching!

  1. Perhaps this is the one and only fleet (I'm talking about their A321neo in general) of CX that has a red-ish and gray-ish vibe since these were supposed to be Dragon's, right?

    Anyway, nice vid as always! Hopefully with this plane CX will reach more hidden-gem regional routes!

  2. Hi Jayden thank you for the video your meal didn't look to good but your friends looked ok. Hope had a good trip.

  3. I really do miss going on a trip to Vietnam. Lovely report on Cathay Pacific. Have a nice trip in the future with partner!!!!

  4. Thursday 3:30p…Home after Barcelona Turn Around… Enjoyed your Video… Beautiful Pre-Departure shots…Thank You !!!

  5. You sure are spending a lot of time in Nam Jayden
    As always a fun vlog
    Jayden funny u say Cathay was rated number 1 when I I got an email from Singapore airlines this am informing me they have been once again rated the number 1 airline in the world for 2023
    Jayden I think u are biased towards Cathay Pacific mate 😂
    When is the Laotian and Cambodian airlines vlogs ?
    Sieme reap is a must

  6. "Domestic helpers" is such a cute word for workers who are not legally entitled to earn anything close to the statutory minimum wage that HK citizens are entitled to.

  7. Just flew out of HKG yesterday! But on a Thai airways a350 instead of a Cathay Pacific plane… HKG airport is certainly a great place to be. Lots of shopping, great plane spotting places and easy access into the city.

  8. The design of the entertainment system is really fantastic, but the screen in A330 and B777 is very old and looks bizarre. Starlux and China airlines have a better quality of screen TV in A321neo.

  9. We've never experienced lounge access. The only time we even got close was when flying with Emirates on a return trip to The Maldives we were upgraded to Business Class from Dubai to the UK. Sadly, because we were upgraded. Emirates wouldn't let us into the lounge – Boo Hoo.

  10. Jayden’s review is top notch, fair and unbiased as always.

    One popular vlogger recently reviewed CX and complained about the lack of amenity kit on a 3 hours flight, the dirty fuselage of the plane next to his and announcements in too many languages. I had to unsubscribe him halfway through the video.

  11. Have been to Hanoi years ago & glad to see it's getting more modern now. The spring rolls on the table are the most eye-catching views & must be yummy. Want to see your partner more. He's lovely.😍

  12. 3:19 BTW that’s not a coat hock. That’s actually a volume control for the tv screen. But most of the time is lowered all the way down

  13. I was in Halong Bay 10 years ago and did a 2night/3day cruise and had a fantastic time, hope you guys enjoyed it, Jayden🤙

  14. Hi Jayden I got your parcel big thanks from me to you. Would you also mind getting me an emirates blanket and pillow from economy class though?? And I’d you could send it to the same adress thanks Jayden big big big thanks from me to you thanks 😊😊😊😊

  15. 人山人海 indeed! But lovely that CX A321neo has the Bluetooth function! That’s miles ahead of a lot of airlines! Great industry research from you for me 😂

  16. The NEO looks great under Cathay despite the Vegan meal, well thought out. Your Cheesecake moment was brilliantly funny – glad QF is back and clearly exceeding expectations. Thanks so much for sharing this flight experience…..👍

  17. Great vlog. Jayden. So glad you finally came out 😊 eventually we will know your BF has a name 😊.
    Be nice once CX come back to Adelaide. All from Burra . Sth Aust

  18. Loved your comment on your ‘vegan meal’ that you even had better meals on United. Wow that meal must have been horrible because we all know what a travesty United meals( if you even get them… 5 hours to SFO to HNL…..Prezels or a cookie!!!

  19. Love this tripreport. Great that you also included meat dish as well…missed that in your travel reports. And we finally get to see your partner…enjoy!!

  20. When is this "vegan fashion" over? 😉 Impressive entertainment system & seats. The normal food looks good!

  21. I am So Glad that CX is Not doing well… Yahoo! All Cheap food and beverage items on board… Yuk!! One of the BAD Airlines in Asia !! Don't fly CX !!

  22. Glad to see in town check in back! Its the only thing thatll make me wanna take the airport express over just catching a cab (tbh i always found the airport express overpriced – not worth it for groups of more than 2)

  23. Nice hard product on cathay 321n, as always. But am still kinda disappoonted that having a cx or sq ticket no longer guarantees you to a widebody ride
