Marco Polo Club Flyer – Relishing the Air Travel Experience.
This is Ken and thank you for watching my Flight Review.

Welcome to my special flight review that relishes two air travel experiences with Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines. It’s time for a battle between the two Asian top-tier five-star airlines that are based in the two Asian Financial Centres, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
In today’s flight review, we would be savoring the 3.5-hour air travel experience onboard Cathay Pacific’s A350-900 Business Class and Singapore Airlines’ B777-300ER Business Class. You will see the difference in the experience of the two airlines from check in to arrival.
Hope that my video has fulfilled your “taste buds”, and if it did, I would be happy if you could follow me on my Instagram – cxka_ken for traveling shots. Also, make sure you have left me a like and commented on this video. Share this video with your loved ones and it means a lot to me if you subscribe to my channel.

Awesome comparrisson, I love how they arent two separate tripreports and a conclusion but rather tripreport in itself. Cathay really needs to do something to stand out, maybe refresh their business class or so, these cabins are beginning to look bland and outdated although being on a brand new aircraft (something that highlights the diverse culture of HK would be great)/
I have flown a lot of business class over the years and have transited through Hong Kong and Singapore on more occasions than I care to remember. A decade ago Cathay along with Emirates were the best business class in the sky. About 2016 to 2018 Cathay's entire offering, particularly their service capitulated. At the same time Singapore up until then, a podium placegetter in the best business class in the world upted their game. Singapore an easy winner!
I think they are both great airlines. Singapore Airlines business class is a better product though and more modern! I love this comparison video. Btw Ken your haircut is fire 🥰. Keep up the great content.
To me SQ no doubt . Simply cause CX is going backwards whereas SQ, if not moving ahead is at least consistent. And I’m never a lounge person , I always get to the airport last minute so it’s a no brainer for me.
I commute between SG and HK monthly, if not bi-monthly. Despite physically SG being my hub, I fly CX much more than SQ. Terminal 4 is easier to navigate if you are riding a cab. Cathay has a neat lounge there, compared to the crowded and bland Silverkris and having to do gate security: which is often slow and inefficient. SQ has a better cabin product besides the footwell, but I find CX's food consistently good. I also enjoyed CX's ground service (despite being cold, they are professional), but SQ can suck big time even in Changi (40 min queue for J counters, anyone?). Both airlines are really cutting costs, and I somehow miss the good old time…
Thank you very much, Ken, for the excellent review!
No there is another Krisflyer lounge at terminal 2
Lol i always choose the same seat on sq. 29A on a350. The very last seat on the left / port side.
Flying in regional Asia, Cathay we found was the better airline, crew, and food
hkg – cgk still used a330-300 with cathay ==
There are SQ lounges in SIN T2 too, not only in T3
And you forgot one important thing: the chance to get a full flat bed on SQ is about 95+ percent, cause they only have a few ex Silk Air birds left. On CX you can end up on a recliner on many regional flights. For me thats a major issue.
不如你努力啲成為SQ嘅PPS member，到時先再比較丫，眼界要闊啲
Singapore airline all the way!!!
Awesome video! Very thorough and detailed review of both airlines. Appreciate your effort in filming and editing👏🏻
Singapore airlines is world class 🙌🏻 number 1 like there airport 💯❤️
Both highly overpriced, mostly used by businesses and people with free sky miles.
Cathay's comfort is more important …its food is not that bad anyway.
This was a great review, Ken! I liked how much effort you put into making sure the conditions were the same as possible. You highlighted the strong and weak points for each airline. I agree that passengers may have stronger preferences for certain attributes over others, so your guide will help each person make a decision for themselves what is the best airline to pick. I hope you enjoyed both of your flights!
Lovely editing. I think you done a lot of work for doing these videos.
Cathay Pacific is a sleazy criminal airline. They discriminate against passengers based on race.
Neither of these products can claim to be among the leaders. Qatar Airways is far superior, particularly in terms of the privacy of their Q-Suites. The revamped Qantas business product from 2025 will also be superior to both these Asian carriers.
great job great review Ken, thanks so much!
Can you also do the same review but for first class?
Cathay left a bad taste in my mouth when I didn’t get the 15% miles transfer bonus for some reason when I clearly did it within the promotion period (says I need to sign up some form first which I had done previously!). No such issue when doing it for Singapore Airlines transfer promotion. The Cathay support is really really bad, I started contacting them and one year later it still wasn’t concluded properly and their support always keep disconnecting for “some reason” 😂 Complain emails goes unanswered. I’m going to use my remaining miles and it’s then permanently in my blacklistq for me
Cathay all the way
