I have been seeing the Cathay 777-300 ERs back at LAX recently. I’m glad Covid restrictions are loosening up a bit in China. It’s been a long time. Thanks for another great vlog Jayden!❤️✈️
Hi Diane! Cathay is really ramping up now! More flights and more reopening of lounges. Qantas is flying A380 to HK from next month!! Can’t wait for all that happen. Looking to book one too soon haha. Thanks Diane!
What a best way to start the day, Jayden! First of all, I hope you are feeling better now--I also got covid last week and empathize. I was glad to see you embarking again on a Cathay Pacific flight at HKG, thinking it will be me in just two small weeks. I can't wait! For a meal in Economy I thought it was very decent both in terms of quality and quantity, but how do you manage to get two main dishes? LOL. It all looked very appetizing. And then you got a nice hotel room! Ah, c'est la belle vie, Jayden! Enjoy!
Hi Eric! Oh dear, hope you're recovered from COVID!! I have fully recovered now, thank you! Remind me where you are off to again, KL? I wast travelling with mum so I filmed hers and sampled hers too haha. I went for the Japanese, she went for the Western pork :) On an empty flight like this, they would have lots of spares anyway, but I usually try to limit myself when it comes to eating onboard, don't want to get bloated 😳 passe une bonne journée!
@@JaydenWong Merci Jayden, and I am fully recovered like you, yay! I'll fly YYZ-HKG on March 1st and then HKG-BKK on March 2nd. I wanted to spend my bday in Thailand! I'll try to follow your advice not to eat too much on the plane, but in Business I might be spoiled! Anything you recommend to eat at Cathay Pacific lounge in HKG! I'll definitely have milk tea lol, but need something solid too, haha. Jayden, thx for making my day! Have a good evening :) And congrats for your French! Pleasant flights to you.
i enjoy yur trip report. vry details . keep it up. i was an aviation /airlines pioneer frm 1955. so much changes. in the 1950 all aircraft are propllers driven. took 40 hours to fly from paya lebar to europe. hardly any ife. noisy n uncomfortable. sin europe return tourist fare sgd 3000. first return sgd 4000.. flying today economy is n value for money n enioyable. good luck to you. best regards. william
Great video, Jayden! It was so nice to see HKG hustling and bustling again. Too bad you weren’t able to get into the Wing, but the Pier is nice too. I liked seeing all the features on the seat to make it easier to store and use things, but I’m sure it was pretty narrow. Glad to see travel picking up!
Thanks for watching Mike! I was at HKG last week but 'unfortunately' they've reopened the business class lounges so no more The Wing First for me unless I fly with mum haha.
Hi Jayden, I hope this finds you well. Thank you so much for this video. It looks as if you made it to Japan before I will lol. I have been looking at the Hilton Osaka, so this video is a tremendous help to me. (Did you get any cable TV channels at the Hilton Osaka.) I also opted mainly for Tokyo to spend most of the time for my upcoming trip. I can sure agree with you on the looong walk at Hong Kong Airport. I actually had a lot of time to spare, so I did actually walk all the way around the Airport before catching my Cathay Pacific flight to Tokyo on a past trip. Cathay was a great flight. So I am looking forward to Tokyo in a couple of months time. Hope to see you in Tokyo after Golden Week.
thanks for watching Ronnie! Hilton Osaka isn't in the most touristy location but it is right next to the bus stop that goes direct to ITM airport but walking distance to Osaka station if you're flying in from KIX. Not sure about the cable TV channels sorry.
Cannot really blame Cathay for bumping up prices on their popular routes, they have been in such financial difficulty they need to recover fast. As long as they provide a decent product so that nobody feels too ripped-off. Mr. Wong, I have been skipping your loo tours recently despite the endlessly fascinating coat hooks, I am getting very old so need to monitor my use of time more carefully.
haha yes they're just doing what everyone else is doing, especially on HKG-Osaka when they main competitor ANA has not reinstated the flights yet. Their Seoul flights however, very cheap at the moment despite similar flight duration. They're competing with Asiana, Korean Air (which sometimes fly the A380) and HK Airlines
@@JaydenWong HKG-KIX actually seems to have quite a lot of competition even without ANA (Hong Kong Airlines, HKExpress, Peach, etc.), but all those airlines fly single aisle aircraft, so I think that explains why the prices are so high.
Oh no....Jayden.. I`m glad to hear that you have fully recovered from COIVID. I know how it feels. COVID knocked me down for two weeks last September 😩its a pain in the neck. Thanks for the nice trip report. Have a wonderful weekend.
Hi Jayden First to comment ! LoL 😂 Those seats looked rather thin and uncomfortable , but from what you said looks are deceiving A decent size meal, too .
Guess it's still summer vacation back in Australia.. and it prob has to do with his mum's job or family business situated in many different places maybe? Need to be a very frequent flyer to earn you or maintain your one world emerald status if you are not flying business or first all the time.
haha I did Adelaide-Bali-Singapore-Hk-Osaka-Tokyo-LA-NY (via Atlanta)-LA-Tokyo-HK-Melb For holidays/catching up with friends and lunar new year in HK. Mum retired but still flies a lot to Australia to see me, and the UK to see other relatives. And usually a trip within Asia whenever I’m back in HK
Nice review of your flight from Hong Kong to Osaka. I experienced flying in the long haul of Cathay Pacific in their 777-300ER last Sunday. It was a good flight from Hong Kong to San Francisco. I was in transit from Manila, by the way. It's very sweet of your mother👩 giving you a massage💆♂️.
Jayden i am 80 years old just operated for cancer on chimo at moment i travel for a long time till covid started...i hope one day you will take to my home town venice italy
5:48 you got a 5J A330-300 bound to MNL from HKG. My most Travelled route on the Cathay Pacific network is HKG-MNL which turns out to be the first route of the airline using the DC-3 PBY Catalina that one has to use Manila bay from HKG Kai Tak airport. Another route that the B777-300/er is used on is HKG-PER or HKG-MNL to compete with the 5J & PR planes. For Pier lounge was it renovated recently or still uses the 2005-2006 set up
Always enjoy your videos, you always try to have fun, everywhere you travel, so envious! We wait for the notorious spotting of the "coat hook", so funny! Have been trying to identify your wristwatch though, looks like it could be a Swatch but can't find it on the Swatch website, so Mr. Jayden Wong, you must be famous when your fans want to know whose watch you wear lol! Happy travels!
Hello! Thanks for the informational video, much appreciated. I wondered if you knew what type of plug is used on the power-sockets beneath the seat that you highlight? It's my first time flying Cathay in a few weeks so want to make sure I have the right adapter for it if needed. Sadly their website isn't too helpful regarding this. Thank You.
Deja vu @ 0:36. Didn't you ride on a luggage cart down that airport path years ago? I found your videos years ago because I was searching for Cathay business class flight trip reports and videos on their Hong Kong lounges. Your videos stood out because they were very well made and detailed. And thank you for the Hilton Osaka room tour. I hope you'll upload videos of your walk around Osaka and the food you eat. 👍🙂
Great trip report as always. Do you film the whole flight experience using only one single phone? Did you use the wide angle lens while filming? I'm so surprised to see that Cathay's configuration is in 3-4-3 as I always thought they had the seats in 3-3-3. Hopefully to see Discovery (inflight magazine) come back in the seat pocket.
Interesting that while the economy seats were retrofitted with the same ones used on the A350, premium economy was unchanged. I'm intrigued to fly in a 3-4-3 777, to see if it's as bad as the internet makes it out to be. I'm a small-sized guy so I should be okay. Wonderful that we are able to return to Japan after so long. I'm going twice this year, can't wait to go "home"!
The older economy (still seen on their 330) wasn't that old. I recently flew Delta A330neo and that seats look as 'old' as the Cathay 330 LOL. I think they only renovated it so they could add an extra seat per row.
Hey Jayden that cabin looks tight with 3-4-3. You should watch pillow given out without plastic wrapping. I think the airline used the pillows and blankets if they are not wrapped. How much you rate this flights.
I love your trip-reports! Yeah, it's really expensive to fly to Japan. Manila to Tokyo or Osaka, is around $700+ on Philippine Airlines, ANA or Japan Airlines. During peak season, it can reach $1,000 just for economy! It's like finding a good deal or booking early on a flight to Europe via the middle east.
thanks for watching! Osaka doesn't get much competition compared to Seoul and Tokyo and I guess that's why Cathay's Seoul flights for example, very cheap at the moment despite similar flight duration. They're competing with Asiana, Korean Air (which sometimes fly the A380) and HK Airlines
@@JaydenWong yeah, I’m planning late May, Will go to Tokyo first. When rates are low, definitely try out Conrad Osaka, the lobby is breathtaking. An afternoon tea would also suffice.
I haven't flown CX in forever. However, I'll be heading to CDG in May and will be enjoying a few Cathay Delights! Until then I'll have to vicariously live through you and Ryan. Can I have your life?
Last time I was in that terminal I found myself thinking that I would be able to get a Cessna 152 airborne within it. Liked that seat-back. Good review - but you lose points for wasabi-dodging!
Great trip report as always Jayden! Btw, I’m currently a student in Year 10 (upper secondary) trying to figure out what to do in the aviation sector. May I ask what you studied and what subjects you needed?
Nice work Jayden. 👌 Very jealous … I was meant to go to Japan in 2020, and had booked again in 2022 but they didn’t open up in time. So hoping for third time lucky … later this year. Might have to hit you up for any suggestions or advice. 😁
Love your videos! Since you know a lot about Hongkong, I'm flying with Swiss from there soon and I have Star Alliance Gold. Do you know which lounge or lounges I will be invited to since most are still closed?
Tbh a 3-4-3 config in a 777 is one of those configs I hate the most lol, alongside a 3-3-3 in an A330. I'd rather see Cathay pulling a 3-3-3 instead as it gives more seat width. Or perhaps, they can revive their 2-5-2 config like what they did to their older 777s in the 1990s and 2000s? Nice vid as always!
I agree and here's the problem with 2-5-2 B777-200 economy you do not have a screen in front of you instead you must stand up did this once on CX904 MNL-HKG September 2001
wow they gave hazagen daz once cream. Which food from Japan do you recommend. I hate sushi. Where did you stay in Japan? Is cost of living higher there than in Hong zkong
Hi Jayden, im flying to London soon through cathay. Im flying economy through 777-300ER, but now im wondering if i should have booked in a350-900 instead? 🤔 in terms of seat comfort, which one’s better?
350 is newer and quieter but personally I prefer the older 777 premium. More feet space after reclining. And for noise, just put on noise cancelling headphones😝
@@JaydenWong great! Haha im not easily distracted by the noise but i would like to have the legroom and more comfortable seats. Haha i managed to get the extra legroom seats in row 40 😝
@@JaydenWong thanks. So for thr wing first class lounge also business classpaseenger can join? I will be goinh to the wing first lounge in March hope it will not be crowded😂😂😂
Uncle Roger: can't eat spicy? too weak! too weak! (I am weak). Jayden it would be really appreciated if you could make an update video on Cathay's premium economy for A350 or B777-300. I tried to search the channel but the most recent one you made was 3 years ago. Especially when you fly Cathay between HKG and MEL or SYD. Hope Cathay remains a good quality of service after Covid.
@@JaydenWong Sounds perfect. It would be great if you could just talk a bit about whether 900 and 1000 would differ a lot as both planes are serving this route. I am flying to mainland China with 2.5hr stopover in HK two months later. Your channel and videos do help a lot of people like me! Thanks and much appreciated.
If you have free time to fly one more Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong to Ho Chi Minh City, then you can try to fly Vietnam's low-cost carrier, Vietjet Air, which uses Airbus A330-300 with seats. Skyboss business class, and can fly domestically and internationally.
@@JaydenWong I heard that Vietjet Air opens a route to Australia until April, but you can experience domestic flights with Vietjet Air, which also flies Airbus A330-300 to Hanoi.
I prefer no frills airlines.u order the food u want. No waste of food.no want eat ,no have. How many food is trash on all airlines around the world in one day.So better pre order even on premium airlines
I don't really see the difference between the 350 and the 777 in economy. Almost looks the same in any aspect(well, probably others would disagree) But well, exelent video!
seatback is very similar on the 777-300ER and A350-1000 :) A350-900 is completely different. B777-300 non-ER has older screen (can’t adjust). Only A350-1000 and the older A330 have double seat back padding (more comfortable)
they haven't! They're just running out of staff so they're focusing on major cities first. If you look at their current network, they have yet to relaunch flights to non-major cities like Seattle, Adelaide, Cape Town, Christchurch, and even London Gatwick
@@JaydenWong the new legrests look as thought they were installed by somneone's mate down the road with the exposed screws etc. And the screendesperately need an upgrade.
That is not how you eat soba 😂 You’re not supposed to pour sauce all over it. Try dipping the noodles into the sauce then slurp it up next time. I’m glad your headache didn’t stop you from traveling 😊
You confused me, one video I watched you were flying from Australia to Hong Kong you were saying you were vegetarian, this one you just ate pork. Glad you made it over COVID, happy coat hook hunting. 😊
Aha I was not a vegan yet when I took this flight. Also sometimes when I travel I break my diet because the airlines either don’t feed me enough vegan food or they don’t cater for it. Thanks for watching!!
Hi Jayden! May I use your part 04:08-04:34 in my report from Dubai to Hk? My channels are on bilibili and youtube, and i will be put your channel's name in the discriptions. Thank You
Well done having flown Kai Tak Swissair DC10-30ER inbound and outbound on Cathay Pacific Boeing 747-200 classic celery stick colours had door 3 blocked port and starboard and added 12 economy seats. I noted this so much January 1986 not happy Jan. Only 8 exit 747 not original 10 doors available for exit. Is what is was at the time not happy. CX delivered a service well not as great as Swissair DC 10 or A310-200 days. Quality not as to high standards of Swissair SR loved Swissair service well I am old school. Miss carbon tickets and hand written boarding pass. Service is important to me. Keep up with your good work. Always watching. Ansett 727.
A great looking trip report, and as most of us will fly economy, it’s good to see this service.
thanks for watching Colin!
It`s good to see you flying into and out of HKG again, and also reunited with your beloved Cathay Pacific! Thanks as always for posting Jayden.

Lovely video from you as always!! Good to see CX returning to normality!!
They had a long difficult period for nearly 4 years. They'll make it back to what they were before 😁
Great video, Jayden! It was so nice to see HKG hustling and bustling again. Too bad you weren’t able to get into the Wing, but the Pier is nice too. I liked seeing all the features on the seat to make it easier to store and use things, but I’m sure it was pretty narrow. Glad to see travel picking up!

Cathay hit the 1 mil passenger per month mark for the first time since 2020! Great video mate!
good news!
Top quality as always Jayden. Wish the Pier First will be opening soon.
yep it should reopen soon!

Tbh a 3-4-3 config in a 777 is one of those configs I hate the most lol, alongside a 3-3-3 in an A330. I'd rather see Cathay pulling a 3-3-3 instead as it gives more seat width. Or perhaps, they can revive their 2-5-2 config like what they did to their older 777s in the 1990s and 2000s?
Nice vid as always!
haha don’t think they will go back to 8-abreast when their 777 flights to Australia and UK are more often than not full.
@@JaydenWong : 9-abreast. 8 is 2-4-2. 3-4-3 is 10-abreast.
That is what I don’t like when CX introduced 10 abreast in 2018, though the new Y seat is comfortable but 9 abreast could give better seat width.
I agree and here's the problem with 2-5-2 B777-200 economy you do not have a screen in front of you instead you must stand up did this once on CX904 MNL-HKG September 2001
Good video! My Dream is Flight to Asia. ✈️
thanks for watching! :)
Hi Jayden, could you try Taipei's EVA air too? I haven't seen any latest reviews about EVA air recently on TH-cam haha
hopefully soon! I do want to try them out soon
Now HKG Terminal 1's Prenetics PCR testing room has been closed permanently yesterday.
Sayonara😁😁😁
@@JaydenWong See HKG in July 3rd with CX382.
wow they gave hazagen daz once cream. Which food from Japan do you recommend. I hate sushi. Where did you stay in Japan? Is cost of living higher there than in Hong zkong
cost of living in HK is definitely higher. HK is top 5 if not number 1!
Ramen, udon, omakese ?
I really want to see your reviews on Hong Kong Express
At 7:44 you said boarding during the take off 😅
wopps!
Hi Jayden, im flying to London soon through cathay. Im flying economy through 777-300ER, but now im wondering if i should have booked in a350-900 instead? 🤔 in terms of seat comfort, which one’s better?
350 is newer and quieter but personally I prefer the older 777 premium. More feet space after reclining. And for noise, just put on noise cancelling headphones😝
@@JaydenWong great! Haha im not easily distracted by the noise but i would like to have the legroom and more comfortable seats. Haha i managed to get the extra legroom seats in row 40 😝
Whenever your experiencing a headache than you should drink alot of water with eat Tylenol or Advil should help you with expriencing headaches!.
I was probably overdosed with pills already haha. I went to a GP in Melbourne and the doc said it was some 'leftover covid' in my sinuses
iam jelous to sick to travel i miss it
nice video bro. Are mobile boading passes allow in Hongkong or is it required to collect the boarding pass at the check in counter? thx
It’s allowed as long as the airline issues them!
@@JaydenWong thanks. So for thr wing first class lounge also business classpaseenger can join? I will be goinh to the wing first lounge in March hope it will not be crowded😂😂😂
@@mattiaseghezzi3890 at the moment yes! But that could change very very soon
Uncle Roger: can't eat spicy? too weak! too weak! (I am weak). Jayden it would be really appreciated if you could make an update video on Cathay's premium economy for A350 or B777-300. I tried to search the channel but the most recent one you made was 3 years ago. Especially when you fly Cathay between HKG and MEL or SYD. Hope Cathay remains a good quality of service after Covid.
I am weak 😩I just flew HK to Mel in 350-1000 premium couple of weeks ago, a video will follow very soon!!
@@JaydenWong Sounds perfect. It would be great if you could just talk a bit about whether 900 and 1000 would differ a lot as both planes are serving this route. I am flying to mainland China with 2.5hr stopover in HK two months later. Your channel and videos do help a lot of people like me! Thanks and much appreciated.
did you get free headphone for Cathay economy class?
Yes everyone gets one but not noise cancelling
Very Cute Boy 😊
thanks!
For their price this seems like a typical low carrier airline minus the meals option .. the leg room is so small and it's too crowded
How crowded are flights nowadays? I heard that in economy some flights are super crowded, whereas others are almost empty.
it really depends when and where you are going haha. I had empty and full flights in the past week in Australia
If you get one world elite it doesn't give you upgrade or anything?
nope only works like that in america
If you have free time to fly one more Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong to Ho Chi Minh City, then you can try to fly Vietnam's low-cost carrier, Vietjet Air, which uses Airbus A330-300 with seats. Skyboss business class, and can fly domestically and internationally.
I will when Vietjet comes to Australia which is very soon!
@@JaydenWong I heard that Vietjet Air opens a route to Australia until April, but you can experience domestic flights with Vietjet Air, which also flies Airbus A330-300 to Hanoi.
I prefer no frills airlines.u order the food u want. No waste of food.no want eat ,no have. How many food is trash on all airlines around the world in one day.So better pre order even on premium airlines
sounds like a Australian Pilot
yep I think he’s an Aussie
Hey Jayden could you please do a flight review from either Perth to Dubai via Emirates or do Qatar from Adelaide to Doha
one day! I have singapore-melbourne on emirates soon.
Hey Jayden guess what I saw my house from ur takeoff lol i live really close to the hong kong airport
nice!
9:23 I'm glad Cathay Pacific offers pork.
I don't really see the difference between the 350 and the 777 in economy. Almost looks the same in any aspect(well, probably others would disagree) But well, exelent video!
seatback is very similar on the 777-300ER and A350-1000 :)
A350-900 is completely different. B777-300 non-ER has older screen (can’t adjust).
Only A350-1000 and the older A330 have double seat back padding (more comfortable)
I love Cathay Pacific but such a pity they have given up on Adelaide.
they haven't! They're just running out of staff so they're focusing on major cities first. If you look at their current network, they have yet to relaunch flights to non-major cities like Seattle, Adelaide, Cape Town, Christchurch, and even London Gatwick
Cathay economy looks better than PE, even at 3-4-3. PE on the 359/K is much better. But overall a nice looking regional experience.
haha they did not retrofit the premium on their 777 that's why. Some got new TV screens and legrest though.
PE on 359/K is much better than those old 777!
@@JaydenWong the new legrests look as thought they were installed by somneone's mate down the road with the exposed screws etc. And the screendesperately need an upgrade.
@@kaychan7046 absolutely, even though the seat is slightly narrower.
Hey! What was the plant based choice 😅…so much for veganisms 😋
HAHAHHAA wait for the videos from March onwards😂😂😂
That is not how you eat soba 😂
You’re not supposed to pour sauce all over it. Try dipping the noodles into the sauce then slurp it up next time. I’m glad your headache didn’t stop you from traveling 😊
oh no 🤣 whoopsie ain't no salad sauce I suppose.
You confused me, one video I watched you were flying from Australia to Hong Kong you were saying you were vegetarian, this one you just ate pork. Glad you made it over COVID, happy coat hook hunting. 😊
Aha I was not a vegan yet when I took this flight. Also sometimes when I travel I break my diet because the airlines either don’t feed me enough vegan food or they don’t cater for it.
Thanks for watching!!
Hi Jayden! May I use your part 04:08-04:34 in my report from Dubai to Hk? My channels are on bilibili and youtube, and i will be put your channel's name in the discriptions. Thank You
sure, thanks for asking!
7:40 Takeoff not boarding
whoopsie
Well done having flown Kai Tak Swissair DC10-30ER inbound and outbound on Cathay Pacific Boeing 747-200 classic celery stick colours had door 3 blocked port and starboard and added 12 economy seats. I noted this so much January 1986 not happy Jan. Only 8 exit 747 not original 10 doors available for exit. Is what is was at the time not happy. CX delivered a service well not as great as Swissair DC 10 or A310-200 days. Quality not as to high standards of Swissair SR loved Swissair service well I am old school. Miss carbon tickets and hand written boarding pass. Service is important to me. Keep up with your good work.
Always watching.
Ansett 727.
I didn’t ever hear celery stick before but my favourite name for that livery is lettuce sandwich 😊
The Pilot Is Australian
yep a lot of cathay pilots are Aussies
wondering jayden's millage balance
running low honestly, redeemed a lot during covid hahaha
Can you fly to myanmar i am there too do let me know when you come to myanmar
Chúc mừng rất mừng.
Did the entire cabin crew wear latex gloves during the entire flight?
not sure haha, it's their personal choice, Some crew still wear eye goggles.
日本有核辐射的哦！
hi Jayden I noticed you got your face mask inside out😀😀😅
HAHAH I actually did it purposely, it was orange on the correct side😂😂😂 I preferred white
No wonder he got covid
Lol. I caught it in Australia
Aww Jayden can't eat spicy
Sounds like an Aussie pilot
yep! Cathay has a lot of Aussie pilots
Bad weather at Hong Kong😢I’m glad you are feeling better, Covid, be careful
Hi Jayden 👋
hello!
You're actually quite handsome
hahhaha thanks!
