Cathay Pacific Business Class

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ส.ค. 2018
- A couple of years ago I flew (and reviewed) Cathay Pacific's business class. I wasn't impressed. Whilst seats were great I was left cold by the service and disappointed by the meals. On a recent trip to Europe I decided to give them another go - this video shows how it went.
I must say, in my opinion, Cathay Pacific have really turned it around. Their crew were friendly, happy and engaging - they were eager to please and their service was top notch. The meals too were a vast improvement on Cathay's previous offerings.
On this Cathay business class review I also cover the lounge at Adelaide Airport, boarding, take off, the Cathay Pacific business class seat, the Cathay inflight entertainment system, amenities kit and landing in Hong Kong. Join me and we'll indulge in the luxury of Cathay Pacific.

I'm flying business class with Cathay tonight so this has been very informative - thanks!
I physically feel the dopamine happiness kick in every time I get a new video notification
You have the happiest opening music on TH-cam.
Thanks for the video, they always make my day!
yeah I like his into music too
“Cloud juice” 😂 love it! That was a super early departure as it was still dark, I hate those early morning / red eye flights... I always choose day flights where possible, no need to set the alarm, great views outside and traditionally safer flights for the pilots flying.
Whenever I get a notification of an upload from Dennis, I just start watching it even if I’m at work
Dennis, I really appreciate your matter of fact, on point reviews you take the time to share with us. It gives reviews a heap of credibility when emotion is left out. Well done...as always.
One dedicated fan here... it’s 4am in Syd and I just had to watch straight away.
Another great review.
Flew Cathay business class HK - SYD a couple of weeks ago in J over night and was really disappointed. Great seat but
No bedding and food was very bland.
The seat design was very comfortable and private.
Sounds like you hit the jackpot with this flight. Keep up the great work.
Ahh a dennis bunnick upload. Day made!!
Edit: thank u soo much for liking dennis another day made
If you're like me, you'll be whistling the intro tune at random times over the next few hours
you're not the only one that does that. sometimes i will wake up in the middle of the night and whistle it
Respect the self-control for not indulging in some pre-departure bubbly there
Nothing makes me happier than getting the notification that you’ve uploaded a new video. THANK YOU !!
Another comprehensive review Dennis, you never fail to deliver. I'm always excited to see the notification pop up when you upload!
I really enjoy your reviews Dennis. Thanks for putting them together
As an Adelaidean myself, I have always considered the night views of the lights of Adelaide to be the best I have ever experienced in many years of flying....and a great video, old son !
Hi Dennis! Love your videos and always look forward to watching them! Keep up the great work 👍
Looks like a product with class. Thanks for sharing Dennis. I look forward to your videos!
Dennis you make the best flight review videos. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks for this video Dennis! I’m glad you enjoyed your flight with Cathay!
Wow, just wow on the food. They have certainly made some serious upgrades there. Thanks for another excellent video.
Love The Office as well. Also loved "The Games", my first Australian TV show.
Another informative video- always a pleasure to watch & learn!
I really enjoy your videos! I’ve had a couple of crappy days at work but your videos do cheer me up - nothing like an affable Aussie flying around in fancy seats!
Whoop whoop! Been yearning for another Bunnik upload and it didn't disappoint.
Always enjoy getting home from work to find a new Dennis video 🙌🏻
Once again, Dennis gives us a well-constructed, credible, informative, well-informed airline review. Thanks mate!
Dennis ive been researching your videos from all airlines especially bussiness class. Always non bias, but very informative..
I actually love when new ones appear.
I truely am greatful as my partner is scared of flying, and your videos help reduce the stress of when we are about too fly her for the first time..
Thank you again.
Hi Paul, thanks for your support and lovely message. All the best for a great trip together. Cheers D
Thanks Dennis, your reviews are my most favourite, sooo brilliant, love Cathay Pacific business class
Thanks mate, really appreciate it.
Finally another Cathay review... was waiting for that!!
Fingers crossed I get to fly Cathay Pacific's business class or even first some day! As always; a great review, can't wait for the next upload! Cheers from Norway
Wonderful review Dennis, it’s nice to know that CX has listened to reviews such as yours, I’m flying them again soon New York to HKG then BKK, enjoy the UK, Cathay gives PJ’s in First Class, something they should extend to business class pax. too !
Good job denniss. u always present very kind and great videos...thank u
Really enjoyed this, Dennis. Thanks for the detail!
Omg great video as always I’m so happy cause I’m about to go to school and seeing a trip report by you gives me joy
that view at 4:32 is stunning 😍
Your reviews are really genuine and original. Keep it up 👏
I enjoy your work, it is nuanced and your self-effacing manner serves you well.
Dennis thanks for another really helpful review!
Love your videos Dennis. You have such a great, relaxed style both in terms of how you narrate and also how you edit your footage, which makes for a really pleasant watch. You and Paul Stewart are the ones to ‘watch’, pun intended. Keep it up!
I like your videos because they are not too long - straight to the point. Well done! On Cathay, I'm happy they've improved but just read they suffered big loss last quarter!
Great review, Dennis. I stumbled across your channel while ‘wishful thinking’ about Business Class travel! My wife and I had a short experience of it from Dubai to Bologna earlier in the year after a economy trip from Auckland to Dubai! I don’t think I can do economy for long haul ever again (and after all your great videos too)! Keep up the great work.
A great and detailed review as ever Dennis, thank you!
Dennis, your reviews are some of the best on YT..keep up the great work...From New Zealand
Thanks mate, really appreciate it
lovely post. I love hong kong and cathay. looking for more videos!
Amazing video as always😍.Love your videos
Your shot of flying in to Hong Kong was stunning. What a gorgeous city!
I really like your vids they make me feel relaxed
Thanks Dennis. Looking at a similar flight and always good to check your reviews for the flight/aircraft pros and cons.
Excellent as always.. Huge improvement putting the menu choice to the rear! Saves me skipping ahead as I had done on dozens of previous videos! Great change mate.
I always enjoy your videos, Dennis. I found you last year when I was looking for good reviews of business class options from London to Tokyo. Now I just enjoy watching your videos for your great presenting style! It's very easy going. Keep it up :)
Thanks mate, really appreciate it. Hope the trip to Tokyo as a good one. cheers D
Back it again with a great video:) Keep it up!
Really enjoy watching your reviews Dennis, I am trying to review more flights in economy for those interested, and I really look at your reviews for inspiration. Thanks again from a Kiwi living in Brisbane!
It's good that you've changed your mind on Cathay. I always thought you were a little harsh on them. Great video as usual I look forward to your next video. Keep it up!😀
Thank You. This video helped me decide what seat I will choose on my flight from Toronto to Hong Kong
I must admit, I view your vlogs before I book my flights
I agree . I’m keenly watching this as I will have a toss up between Qatar and Cathy
Jim Murphy
Qatar all the way, especially with their new business class
Hi Dennis. I have only just discovered your channel. Impressive.
Now that I have seen this one, I am going to have to look at more of them.
Good work.
I like your careful attention to details in your flight .. That was lovely and enjoyable vlog ..
Thanks for another great review Dennis.
Another excellent, informative DB travel episode from the silver fox!
Another great video, Dennis. What a lot of your international respondents may not necessarily realise is the fact that for Australians to get anywhere they face long hours in a plane. Short hops to say Singapore, KL or Manila are still a minimum of 8 hours, so to get to any European destination, we face a minimum of an additional 12 hours. So a focus by Australian aviation reviewers on business class travel makes sense if you consider a minimum of 20 hours in your clothes and as you rightly point out the genuine need for pajamas....after a meal midway and a shower! Looking forward to your next episodes.
Loved the video Dennis keep up the great work
I like all your video's about airlines. This was also a very good one about Cathay Pasific. Next month I will fly with Cathay Pasific from Brussels to Hongkong and Hongkong to Bangkok. Now I know how the flight will be. Thanks a lot Dennis. Looking forward to see more of your video's.
Surprised this didn't come up earlier on my notifications . No matter, it was worth the delay. Another great review from DB. 👍
great video again. i am going to fly in this business class soon. thx for all the info.
Great Video!!! My firm recently told me that from now on I use business class. Cathay Pacific will be my 1st flight with my new title.
Watching this from a stopover in Doha, great content as always Dennis!
Excellent as always. Thank you 👍😁
Love your work Dennis
Love this video! Cheers Dennis!
Thank you for this, flying business coming March to Thailand but wanted to get a heads up..perfect information 😊
Good to hear we are flying with Cathay for the first time (business class) Melb to Milan in a few months, had my doubts as we normally fly Etihad, but your review is very pleasing. Thanks for sharing.
I went to Europe with them in 2012 and once before, many years ago. I have always been happy with them. Shattering to leave so early that it means missing out on the bubbles! I would have made a point of asking for a glass with lunch! LOL! Thank you for the video!
I’ll be taking Cathay from HK to New York in a week time. I look very forward to see what they have improved on their business class services, especially for the meals. Great review! I love this video!
Another GREAT flight review dennis!
Thanks mate, really appreciate it.
Always a great day when you see a new Dennis video!
Excellent Review Thank You
Another throughly comprehensive and enjoyable video! Thanks Dennis! Between you and Paul’s Trip Reports, you are my favourite Trip Reviewers with your own styles!
You posted this video when i was waiting for my flight in larnaca airport
Great video as usual!
Busy airport at that time of day! That's definitely early. Thanks for the detailed report. 👏🏻 I have to say that even though the seats are not that new, the design doesn't look old, and it's still very functional. I have to say, it looks a great cabin to spend 8 hours in. Enjoy your next flight, Dennis. Cheers.
Since Cathay is a Hong Kong based airline, me being from Hong Kong myself. I’m glad you enjoyed the flight!
Can't wait to give it a go. We're flying in September Premium Economy to Milan, then returning to Melbourne via Business. You have whetted our appetite.
Great timing Dennis, I'm flying Cathay business out of Manchester next month. I'm looking forward to the flight even more now!
Excellent review that tells you everything you need to know about CX without any waffling. Straight to the point as always Dennis . I think that CX are very good but so much depends on the Crew .Recently flew on their 350 and I preferred that to their 330
Great video.Yes indeed Cathay seems to finally got it rite.Love the footage of the decent into Hongkers.
"Happy Landings"
Great video again, as allways. Greetings from Holland
Always a good day when there's a new upload! Doesn't really help keep the travel bug at bay...haha
Great video once again!
My Home Airline ❤️❤️ GREAT REVIEW!
OMGosh! You are one handsome dude Dennis! Great videos. Your good looks and affable style help too. :)
An afternoon editing my next review and just as I finish, up pops a new Dennis Bunnik review to show how its done! Really enjoyable and good to see you had a better flight this time. Great selection for your in-flight entertainment by the way.
Great video Dennis!
Nice one! Good to see their product improving :)
Great to see that CX is improving in terms of customer service. Nice video, Dennis :)
Great video mate ! Safe travels :)
Great Dennis you covered everything I wanted to know x
You even watch the Office! Legend!
The correct version.
Another great review Dennis! In general I'm not a fan of "in your face" flight reviews, but your professionalism, insightful commentary, and intriguing Aussie accent set the standard! Your style in fact inspired me to start doing my own TH-cam flight reviews on the other side of the world. Question for you or anyone in the comments: I have the option of 2 flights in Cathay J long haul or on JAL supposedly in their sky suite III. Which should I take?
Thank you for that - excellent video. Doing the same trip ex-Auckland later this month. Will be interested to compare it with the trip we did with Qatar to Doha, That was outstanding.
Excellent video as usual Dennis. I'll be flying with them on there A330 in Business class from Hong Kong to Mumbai soon. Heard that their Premium Economy is not too bad either. Keep up the good work
Too early for champagne mate? Not like you Dennis. You must be getting old!! Another good review and pleased to hear their cabin service and meals have improved as I totally agreed with your previous assessment. Cheers!
Lovely flight.
