WELCOME back to my another TRIP REPORT :)
This trip report recorded my another premium economy class flight experience on Cathay Pacific, from Manchester to Hong Kong, onboard one of their Airbus A350-900. Since this is a westbound flight, the overall flight time will be a bit shorter by comparing with the opposite direction.
Cathay Pacific's Premium Economy Class seat is one of the best offerings among all airlines with such class. The seat is absolutely comfortable and have a generous recline space. The hot towel and welcoming drink are also nice gestures before the flight departs.
Yet, the catering itself and its timing for service may hinder the overall experience. In my opinion, the food itself are a too salty but it depends on different people's preferences, so not much to be blamed with. Other than that, the timing for presenting the second meal was a bit awkward. I am not sure whether it is the approach to maximize crew's rest time or not, the second meal service started at the middle of the flight, in which the first meal service just finished around 2-3hours before.
To sum up, the overall experience is nice, the inflight service level is quite consistent by comparing with my flight to Dubai, with the same product. If there is another chance, I would definitely fly on Cathay A350's Premium Economy class again ^^

Have you ever flown on Cathay Pacific's A350 Premium Economy class? Or any other similar products? Let me know by leaving a comment below!
I tried Cathay Pacific premium economy class on 77W in 2017 to from Hong Kong to Vancouver. Recently, I watched several videos on TH-cam and found that the catering services improved a lot. Back in 2017, the entree of the first meal was from the business in economy container while the second meal was economy. But now, it seems that the entrees of the 2 meals were from business. Some videos showed that Cathay served egg tarts as snacks.
Hi Gus~ Thanks for leaving a comment!
With more airlines improved their inflight offerings (for both soft and hard product), I believe Cathay should also elevate their service standard to retain their customer, especially for the premium passengers (since most of the economy passengers are more price-sensitive). As heard from you, indeed their offerings improved a lot! I also saw them using egg tarts as advertisement contents at major cross harbour tunnels in Hong Kong!
What A Beautiful Air Craft Are I Like The Product Premium Economy.Great Trip Report
Thanks for watching！ Glad that you like my video！
thanks for sharing
I just booked on Cathay Pacific in premium economy for a trip to Hong Kong this coming September. It will be my first time in Asia.
Hello! Welcome to Asia! Wish you would have a great trip in HK! Thanks for watching!
cant believe there is a children's playground that close to the runway in manchester. did u wave back to those kids. so sweet.
I do say hi to them when taxiing too!
It is the official aviation viewing park and you get lots of families going there.
this is amazing. i should fly there to check it out. it must be fun to be that close to view planes taking off.@@Andrew-rd9pf
Great video, add oil!
Thanks for your support!
the front seat rows have good and bads at same time,there isn't people infront of you that recline,extra leg room but the tv might be a bit too far
indeed
but for me, I am fine to watch the tv at a farther distance, considering better legroom!
Thanks for watching!
@@EdinTse and also on some flights,the tv are either on the wall and maybe like pulls out that have like slower react speed or requires remote.Traveling with a partner in prem econ would be really worth on a day flight as more legroom,leg rest and also 2-4-2 seating plan
At ur seat, was the TV screen too far away to watch clearly?
Hi! For me, I can watch the contents in the TV screen clearly, even though it's not close to me. Thanks for watching!
❤
getting so homesick after watching your video. may i ask if u are allowed to use the business class washroom or u can only use the washroom in economy class?
Hi Andy, thanks for watching my video!
I can only use the washroom in economy class instead of business ^^
does they provide lounge access with premium economy?
Hi Raghavs
Lounge access does not provide to premium economy passengers on Cathay's flights. However, if you hold a OneWorld Frequent Flyer Status that is equivalent to Sapphire or above, you are eligible to access the lounge.
Hope this clarifies :)
Is 30 A a good seat to sit in premium economy ? I always sit in 31 H but good legroom but sometimes person reclines tv too close to my face . Wondering if 30 A any good even though tv insanity too far away but more legroom.
hi Edward
I would say 30A should be a better seat in my perspective as legroom is more important to me. I do not mind the TV would be a bit farther than other seats, as long as I can watch the movies clearly.
Thanks for watching!
Hello there, was this the 10:25am flight?
hey there
my flight departs at 1210 noon time
probably the departure time varies, depending on summer or winters time
Thanks for watching!
They have now changed flight time in winter at 10.25 am departure and arrive at 7am HK time . Summer time departure time is 11.25 am arrival to Hong Kong 6.45 am HK time.
Tiny TV?
