The bubbles are oh so important both in the lounge and on board, love that Brietling watch btw my partner just bought me a Tag Heuer Carrera with the green face aswell its amazing, great vid as always
Glad to have another of your great reviews. A real shame about the F&B but hard product still looks great and crew seemed equally so. Fantastic to have the new Cathay magazine back as well. looking forward to your next trip!
Love it Ken and for the A350-900/-1000 they are way better than the old A340-600 which used to do New York to Hong Kong nonstop. CX844 returns to HKG as CX841 the 10am departure my mother did it on November 29th 2022
Haha... thanks for watching! While I think QR food are served nicely, I doubt if the food in BA JCL are really that good haha... But yes, CX should make some improvements in terms of their F&B offerings!
Actually changing the breakfast is because of our DM request to change. It is a good change and because if you are DM and fly a lot in long haul flight and you did not expect to have a 2 hours breakfast procedure. I think because of you are very young of a DM and you cannot experience the real DM flying a lot in long haul every month and their experience. A young DM or DM which is mile run will expected a very special DM beneift and expected your experience is better than other. But for a DM which always fly because of business need and they expected to have a good reset for the flight in order to work on arrival
Great review, appreciate the detail. In your video you said you prefer the privacy of the smaller cabin, do you find that overall it is a better experience? Also would you recommend 2 window seats or 2 seats in the middle for a couple? Going to be flying this exact layout. TIA!
Although I choose Cathay business every time I travel between HKG and JFK, I have to say that their service is really average and I feel like every flight attendant was kind of like forced to go to work lol😂 Less friendly than other 5 star Asian airlines
Cathay uses “late night departures “ as an excuse to serve “light” meal! As an airline food critic I think Cathay’s offering is cheap and unacceptable. Too obvious just an excuse to save money. Listen Cathay’s CEO (I do have a problem with this guy!): it may be a late night flight but to go with a full meal or a light meal or not is MY choice- you don’t decide for me so you should offer that choice! And my god pork chop for dinner when you are paying $70k(?) for this seat? Come on Cathay you can do better!! As I travel now mostly for leisure my top airlines are: Singapore, Japan n the 3 Middle East ones.
Well... my ticket was way cheaper than $70k haha... But indeed, it is a bad excuse and perhaps I should also write to CX regarding the service flow... Thanks for the comment!
@@MarcoPoloClubFlyer I don’t even bother to write them anything. I choose CX or HKE when I fly short distances with no expectations. If I fly longer I go to my default choices as mentioned, for quality service and food!
If I were you, I won’t take CX for long haul flight as their service, in flight meal etc are deteriorating. Another crucial point is their quality of pilots as many experienced senior pilots have been laid off during COVID. I do not have much confidence on this airline anymore. If flying to USA, I will choose to transit either in Seoul or Tokyo to break the journey and the business business class services of the Japan and Korean carriers are way much better than CX.
Great Lounge,Beautiful Air Craft,Great Trip Report
Thanks for your kind words!
Welcome back have missed you
Thank you!!!
Great video as always. I had the opportuntiy to experience the first class from JFK to HKG in 2019, very nice!
That’s really cool… I think they have recently resumed First Class on JFK flights!

Thanks for the kind words! And yes, cheers to bubbles!

Haha... yes indeed, the A350s are state-of-the-art aircrafts... But if I had a chance, I would want to fly on CX A340-600!
I don't know what it is about this guy's videos, but they are so satisfying to watch.❤❤
You like seeing him in the tub 🛀
Can you make a video about your flight log? interested about it thanks!
i had ordered the same laksa as u did. it is pretty good. i would say pretty singaporean. i love it
Agreed with you about service and food, BA and QR both provide better in J now imo - better food, and served as individual courses.
Haha... thanks for watching! While I think QR food are served nicely, I doubt if the food in BA JCL are really that good haha... But yes, CX should make some improvements in terms of their F&B offerings!
Nice video. Also what’s the name of the song you played during take off?

仲有一個星期搭CX843返香港🎉
How long is this flight?
I always like Cathay. It's a good airline.
Haha, thanks for watching! CX is also my favourite!
I have flown that flight in economy. Total nightmare! They treat you like cattle if you aren’t in 1st class!
😊😊
how i wish they will make my bed while i am relaxing after the full course dinner.
3餐入面最好食就係個laksa😅
哈哈，係啊！Laksa好似出左名好食！
How much money you spend on this flight?
If you care so much about food, you should take their day time flights, not a flight that departs in the middle of the night
What I don’t understand is you’re not showing a true business class travel experience, why are you in a first class lounge.
he is a diamond cathay member so he can access the first class lounge
