I already find they have one of the best, if not the best, Economy products. So the former glory was restored quick. Whatever comes next is just show off!
And I cut the announcement short otherwise it wouldn’t fit! But yes, love it! My best one was on a Spanish airline called Iberoworld between Madrid and Cancun. The pilot even when turning would give us explanations about the forest, or tree type and such. A detailed tour of the Cancun area 😊
It's nice to see Cathay become more active again in the skies. I hope that they'll be able to catch up with the gulf carriers. It's also nice to see another Asian carrier in your review catalogue. Glad to see after a long while.
I am so glad I flew Cathay. They’re a very affordable alternative from Dubai vs the big Gulf carriers. I avoided them during Covid but I should fly them more often! More Asian airlines coming up, such as Malaysian 😉
Wow! The best thing that can happen to me.. Came back home from school and my favorite TH-camr has a new video! 😊 I think, I will take Cathay Pacific to HKG next year, thanks for the idea friend!😊 And I can confirm.. From 10pm is a big chaos with Emirates traffic and also Cathay is better then Singapore...😊 Amazing video again my friend, thanks for sharing and see you soon! 😊
I hope school went well! Now time to enjoy the weekend. Yes, CX is a must consider so you definitely should. Sadly they don’t fly to Czech and they’re quite expensive from Europe. I recommend taking them from BKK or DXB, great fares from there! Take care, see you around!
Awesome as per usual mate, absolutely love this I feel Cathay doesn’t get the recognition it deserves and has always had such a reputation. A350 too now that’s a treat😍😍, food looks great would love to see what they serve Vegans I’d be intrigued. Awesome stuff
Thanks buddy! I fully agree with your words. But Cathay was gone for some years but slowly coming back big so I’m sure they’ll get the recognition soon. And about the vegans, I’ll try to do an entire vegan episode soon!! Maybe January.
@@TheLayoverAviation Hi mate, oh I will look forward to seeing that, I would be intrigued to see what airlines and longes are sharing us there plant based options. Yes not surprised with your review to Cathay. Excellent stuff 😊✈️
I’m glad to see what you wanted to! I access most First Class lounges in the world at Oneworld hubs thanks to my Oneworld Emerald status. It’s the highest tier of frequent flyer. I hold similar status with other airlines too so it’s a nice perk 😃 The more you fly the better it becomes!
I had the same experience last week.Cathay Pacific really pampered their top tier guests & definitely one of the best First Class lounges in the world.Manage to book their most coveted Cabanas on both my transit in HKG.But imho The Pier First Class Lounge near gate 63 much much better in terms of services offered.Very personalised services & trust me it was 100% different ambience for this both first class lounge.Btw i love all your trip reports & keep on posting the best one!
Great video just as usual! I'm really looking forward to the time I'll be able to fly on the widebodies of the legacy carriers, it's so much different than those boring A320 short haul flights.
Great video! Cathay Pacific seems to be like a hidden gem. Their IFE was recently given the recognition of the best one by Skytrax, instead of Emirates. What are we getting for the next video?
Is that so? I had no idea they won the best IFE. That means that it was no surprise that I loved it so much! Poor Emirates, first time in many years they don’t win. likely they’ll step it up! Next video Emirates A380 Business to India.
Brilliant as usual. I only ever flew CP once and thought they were excellent (HKG to LAX). Your triple seat bed reminded me of red-eye US flights Mid-West to West or vice-versa, where the AA crew often insisted I go towards the back of the plane where there were empty rows and basically made me a bed. Some AA crew were fantastic and others........well, no comment. Thanks for the memories 👍
That is nice of the AA crew to say. And it’s really hard to find empty flights these days, so you were lucky! Nothing better then a full flat bed on a long flight. Thanks for writing!
Well, approaches from runway 30RL might get interesting after you realize that there are some people stuck on the road in the hustle and bustle of this city. I was just stuck in a traffic jam yesterday while going to Sharjah with E311, trust me it was amazing to see International planes land like an A330 from Aeroflot!
Aeroflot is back big during the winter season! I want to fly them but it is so hard to get the visa and I’ll have a lot of explaining to do in various countries, so don’t know if it is worth the risk.. And yeah, the good old 311 😂 But I never get stuck as I live on the opposite side so during rush hours I go the other way!
Good afternoon ! I wanted to tell you that you always make beautiful videos!! I'm not lucky enough to travel because I have a job where I ship cargo goods, but I don't leave only once a year, however I collect the boarding gates, paper cups and food boxes like that one. that you took before landing. and then you live in a beautiful city
Ciao Paola! Thank you very much for the kind words! i did all I could since I was young to ensure that each job that I do requires me to travel. I’ve worked in an office but I slowly start getting sad if I don’t fly enough so I ensured it won’t happen again. It’s important to be happy. I collect toiletry bags and business/first class airline branded glasses. So nice you collect too! I use to collect boarding passes but the ink fades away quick. I wish you happy flights!!
I had an unpleasant experience flying with CX when we went to London using a B777 due to a system glitch that they won't take accountability. Thanks for this video because it gave me an idea that A350 must be the better plane when choosing a flight with CX. I love the detailed information you put in the different segments of the video!
Glad you see it as motivating. Because anyone can do this. I watched that movie called “Up in the Air” when George Clooney is a frequent flyer and wanted to be like him some day. Now I fly even more then him!
Wss just wondering an hour back..not seen any new video from u...n there u are..thnks bro CX brings lots of memories from the 90s...regular flight from Dxb....thnks.. ....being nostalgic...
Cathay is one of the ones with longest history in Dubai..! Flights to Mumbai, also Bahrain if I remember well.. And all the flights that used it as a fuel stop. Enjoy the nostalgia and see you around my friend!
Welcome back! I didn’t change the font, the editor did it by itself and I couldn’t bother to change them one by one back. I’ll check if I can get it fixed ahead for the next video!
I flew it's A350-900 B-LRB twice from HKG-CDG/CDG-HKG on 2019 , personally I didn't like the seat because it was too hard for me, but so far the IFE, meal, service was awesome.
@@TheLayoverAviation Do you always have to have the nicest words.Which makes it harder for me.Here i am am dealing with deep passion .Then my first love so now you know how hard it is for me.
@@TheLayoverAviation And yes i do mjss your video. They say your thoughts reaches a person faster than words. Maybetrue never wonder were my thkughfs are.They are more powerful your way .
So yeah i since 2023 to early 2024 i have flying London to Hong Kong return , where i am there for a few weeks then Hong Kong to Singapore return again for a few weeks and yeah i have to say i really enjoy their services.
The Wing lounge is really good, but I suggest if you have more time you can go to gate 62/64 area to the pier first class lounge. Personally I feel like that lounge is superior in terms of food and decor compared to the Wing. However the only problem is that HK airport only has one directional people movers. So if you decide to go the the Pier and you gate is 1-15 ish would be a trek back.
I later realized that my gate was right next to the Pier, I think I departed from either one of those gates. Silly me! But a reason to return next time!
Hi! I'll be flying via Cathay pacific next year. It'll be my first time to fly with them.Do they allow personal bag like a tote bag with a hand carry luggage?
I found your video in the recommendations, I really love the detail you put into your videos about what the other aircraft are and their locations, I often think about that when watching other TH-camrs, really nice touch, subbed!
Nice vid, I was looking at aviation when I came across this video. And I’ve rode Cathay Pacific countless times. And I can confirm that it’s true that the pay give detailed announcements, but in some airlines of the a330, they don’t do menu’s sadly 18:42 you flew over my home Lol
I've got tickets booked end of year with airbus 350-900, seats 46. Wondering if the wing will block all the view? I believe on the seat map, I'm near the end of the wing
One of my flight Hong Kong to Sydney, pilot announced that due to rain loading of cargo delayed and flight also delayed, finally took off after 2.30 hrs delay
Ik ben al een tijdje aan het genieten van jouw mooie content, dank daarvoor! Zou ik je mogen vragen wat dat mooie Chinese muziekje aan de start van de video is? Goed uitgekozen! 👍🏻😁
To me no airline is going catch up to emirates they are # 1 what do you think ? I am a new suscriber l did enjoyed your video looking forward to see more of them cheers jerry
Hey there and welcome to the club! I do think Emirates is spectacular.. Lots of airlines are great but Emirates is just special. I trust that when they retrofit the older B777’s and receive the A350’s they’ll officially be the worlds best again!
Good video.. Haven't flown Cathay in 20 years. How do you get the empty row? Do you book a seat with empty row or just change seats in the end when you board ?
The empty row the purser saved for me, how nice! She told me to go there. But there were a few. Usually I ask ground staff before boarding if there are any empty seats left.
Wow that was some lounge experience, how long were you there for. Cathay looks like they are bringing back the golden age of aviation with amenity bags for frequent fliers and printed menus in economy.
Do you know how IFE controls work when sitting in bulkhead seats? The screen is too far away for touch controls. I've read that the seats are so thin, you feel everything put into the seat pocket from the person behind you, is this true?
A very nice video indeed reminds me of the stories my father used to tell about the DXB-BOM-HKK route he used to fly from DXB-BOM though at that time this was a pinnacle of luxury the economy class in Cathay Pacific
Thanks for sharing that. Lots of people have told me the same. I would be so cool if they brought it back but I doubt it. The competition is fiercer then ever. Glad he got to enjoy the good times!
I've always thought the demise of CX's on-board quality has been overstated. Yes they were financially bleeding but it has hardly been evident on the passenger side, aside from flight reductions.
You should do a review on Southwest Airlines they are the best US LCC I’m not going to spoil it for u but try them they’re amazing.😅 Also do a review of JetBlue😜
What makes Cathay Pacific unique among the 5 star Skytrax East Asian carriers is their fleet, almost the same as Asia's first airline Philippine Airlines Main Line fleet. In traditional Chinese netizens, talk its seen as this 🇹🇼🇭🇰 Cathay Pacific (國泰航空公司) > Philippine Airlines🇵🇭 (菲律賓航空). Yet hard to determine a winner between GA SQ🇸🇬BR🇹🇼 KE/OZ🇰🇷 JL/NH🇯🇵 vs CX🇭🇰 in the East Asian five star Skytrax rated Airlines belonging to an Airline alliance
@odzergaming you are correct on that and if you asked Taiwanese and Hong kongers about 國泰航空🇭🇰 vs 菲律賓航空🇵🇭 A359s/A35K it comes down to this you want a wider seat great food CX B-LRx B-LQx B-LXx if you want something like Filipino cuisine at the cost of cramped seats PR RP-C3501-RP-C3508 and future 3509 fleets.
Strongly recommend trying out China Airlines. I think currently they are the best in Asia including their lounge. Cathay is great but I feel they have yet to reach their pre Covid glory.
The extra legroom I can select for free as a Oneworld Emerald member, and she invited me to the other row because it was empty and I would be able to lay down and sleep. So it’s a nice gesture!
On a flight to Toronto I stupidly left my Kindle in the seat pocket, I never had it returned to me. On another flight to the UK from Canada I left a bottle of perfume in the overhead locker, again I never got that back. On both occasions I contacted the airlines but nothing ever came of my enquires about my losses.
Have travelled in Cathay from Vancouver to HKG. It was a very bad experience mainly due to the cabin crew. Cathays standard has dropped a lot. The same with the previous Dragon Air.
They went through a very hard time in the past years and the crew suffered a lot, I was told some tough stories. But yes, no need to pay that with customers. I hope it was a one off experience. I found everyone beyond great to me and loved it. I hope it’s the same for you next time!
@TheLayoverAviation The crew dropped hot food on me and not a one word of apology. Instead, he very rudely gave me some paper towel to clean up and began laughing about it.

Brilliant, looking forward to Cathay Pacific restoring its former glory after having such a rough few years...
I already find they have one of the best, if not the best, Economy products. So the former glory was restored quick. Whatever comes next is just show off!
These are some of the only Pilots who give the most detailed Passenger announcements!😀Which are interesting for us avgeeks and boring for others!
Is interesting for me too, I can't understand giving announcement,in a way that passenger s can't understand.
And I cut the announcement short otherwise it wouldn’t fit! But yes, love it!
My best one was on a Spanish airline called Iberoworld between Madrid and Cancun. The pilot even when turning would give us explanations about the forest, or tree type and such. A detailed tour of the Cancun area 😊
But I know a few pilots from Cathay and they’re quite underpaid
I travelled in Malaysia Airlines a few days back. Their pilots happened to be the most detailed I’ve ever heard on the PA
Cathay Pacific is so classy and beautiful. The a350 is so awesome too.
Way more then I expected! Loved the experience, great plane.
Cathay Pacific has always been one of my favorite airlines, and Hong Kong one of my favorite airports. Great to see Cathay back in the game!
Both of them are such a good combination, just like SQ and SIN and EK with DXB, perfect!
Great video, Alex! Cathay Pacific has great potential, and they've shown that with their great service to you!
They recovered so well after their terrible covid performance, so i’m really glad they focused on the customer.
Thanks for writing buddy!

It's nice to see Cathay become more active again in the skies. I hope that they'll be able to catch up with the gulf carriers.

Yes, CX is a must consider so you definitely should. Sadly they don’t fly to Czech and they’re quite expensive from Europe. I recommend taking them from BKK or DXB, great fares from there!
Take care, see you around!
Your videos make me happy and remove me from the stress of daily life, thanks

I Love The Out Doors Cameras On The A350,Great Trip Report
Not only were they awesome, but also in HD!
ah back to another beautiful trip report video, just what i wanted to watch 💝
btw i was wondering how did you access the first class lounge
I’m glad to see what you wanted to!
I access most First Class lounges in the world at Oneworld hubs thanks to my Oneworld Emerald status. It’s the highest tier of frequent flyer.
I hold similar status with other airlines too so it’s a nice perk 😃
The more you fly the better it becomes!
@@TheLayoverAviation QR is the Gulf carrier that has Oneworld membership beside CX.

Amazing video woohoo ❤
One of my flight Hong Kong to Sydney, pilot announced that due to rain loading of cargo delayed and flight also delayed, finally took off after 2.30 hrs delay
That’s quite some adventure.. But it happens a lot!
Delays due to rain in Dubai are rare 😂

Can you please Cathay Pacific from Hong Kong to Delhi in Business Class?
I was actually going to do that until I changed my itinerary to Dubai directly. I hope to try in the future.
@@TheLayoverAviation Wen will you try it?
Wow that was some lounge experience, how long were you there for. Cathay looks like they are bringing back the golden age of aviation with amenity bags for frequent fliers and printed menus in economy.
05:11 Qantas logo on the menu?
See, I’m getting closer 😃
my best 3 ASPAC was Cathay, ANA and EVA Air, even SQ doesn't count
I’ll listen to you and try them all! And yes, SQ is out of Cathay’s league (in economy that is)
please review the other Southeast Asian counterparts like VN and GA they offer greatest service and price at biz class@@TheLayoverAviation
Not quite like 007. You stirred it....😅
Ah yes.. But the waitress shook it first!

I've read that the seats are so thin, you feel everything put into the seat pocket from the person behind you, is this true?
The ife of bulkhead seats are stored in the armrest
I hope that Cathay will fly to Istanbul since Turkiye is now become a favorite tourist destination.
Probably won’t happen because there arent any transit demand for someone from Istanbul because Turkish airlines is so big
A very nice video indeed reminds me of the stories my father used to tell about the DXB-BOM-HKK route he used to fly from DXB-BOM though at that time this was a pinnacle of luxury the economy class in Cathay Pacific
Thanks for sharing that. Lots of people have told me the same. I would be so cool if they brought it back but I doubt it. The competition is fiercer then ever.
Glad he got to enjoy the good times!
Can you fly Delhi to Amsterdam KLM
Nice video. Can you please try Vistara from India to Europe?
I hope to do so!
I've always thought the demise of CX's on-board quality has been overstated. Yes they were financially bleeding but it has hardly been evident on the passenger side, aside from flight reductions.
You should do a review on Southwest Airlines they are the best US LCC I’m not going to spoil it for u but try them they’re amazing.😅 Also do a review of JetBlue😜
I’ll try but it’s a lot of work to edit those video’s and people don’t really watch normal airlines on short flights 😔.
Bud I did try and liked them!
Nice trip, do you prefer Airbus or Boeing??
Airbus by a mile! Far wider seats in economy, always. Specially on the A350 and A380. It makes a big difference.
I always fel safer in a airbus, dont know why.
Cathay as always❤
Can’t wait to fly them again!
What makes Cathay Pacific unique among the 5 star Skytrax East Asian carriers is their fleet, almost the same as Asia's first airline Philippine Airlines Main Line fleet. In traditional Chinese netizens, talk its seen as this 🇹🇼🇭🇰 Cathay Pacific (國泰航空公司) > Philippine Airlines🇵🇭 (菲律賓航空). Yet hard to determine a winner between GA SQ🇸🇬BR🇹🇼 KE/OZ🇰🇷 JL/NH🇯🇵 vs CX🇭🇰 in the East Asian five star Skytrax rated Airlines belonging to an Airline alliance
Philippine airlines is 3x smaller than Cathay and is pretty bad unless your flying on one of their two A350s
@odzergaming you are correct on that and if you asked Taiwanese and Hong kongers about 國泰航空🇭🇰 vs 菲律賓航空🇵🇭 A359s/A35K it comes down to this you want a wider seat great food CX B-LRx B-LQx B-LXx if you want something like Filipino cuisine at the cost of cramped seats PR RP-C3501-RP-C3508 and future 3509 fleets.
Strongly recommend trying out China Airlines. I think currently they are the best in Asia including their lounge. Cathay is great but I feel they have yet to reach their pre Covid glory.
I will for sure! Looking forward to China Airlines. I was close to flying them from Manila but changed itinerary.
Thanks for watching!
What tools do you use to know destination (or origination city) of aircraft? Flightradar? Foreflight?
Flightradar!
Cathay Pacific was once the World leader. Will it rise again to regain that spot?
Yes I completely believe so! But I’ll have to check out the business class first before I can proclaim anything.. But Economy is top 3!
TheLayoverAviation, what app are you using for editing?
It’s called VN editor but I might swap it soon as the latest update is a bit counterproductive.
@@TheLayoverAviation wow, im also editing in VN, but im getting a much worse video quality than you..
U chose 60 extra leg space (best! is it free or charged fee?)
then FA asked you to move to 61? Whys that happened? ;-/
The extra legroom I can select for free as a Oneworld Emerald member, and she invited me to the other row because it was empty and I would be able to lay down and sleep. So it’s a nice gesture!
Hi , can we please get a video of international travel from Hyderabad
awesome Vlog...very detailed as usual..keep rocking....
Thanks a ton!!
On a flight to Toronto I stupidly left my Kindle in the seat pocket, I never had it returned to me. On another flight to the UK from Canada I left a bottle of perfume in the overhead locker, again I never got that back. On both occasions I contacted the airlines but nothing ever came of my enquires about my losses.
Waiting for Air India 777 (ex-delta) ULH trip report.
I can assure you it won’t be this year as I’m fully booked! 2024 😉
@@TheLayoverAviation No worries.
But I'm waiting for that video.
Have travelled in Cathay from Vancouver to HKG. It was a very bad experience mainly due to the cabin crew. Cathays standard has dropped a lot. The same with the previous Dragon Air.
They went through a very hard time in the past years and the crew suffered a lot, I was told some tough stories. But yes, no need to pay that with customers. I hope it was a one off experience.
I found everyone beyond great to me and loved it. I hope it’s the same for you next time!
@TheLayoverAviation The crew dropped hot food on me and not a one word of apology. Instead, he very rudely gave me some paper towel to clean up and began laughing about it.
Can you do a long haul flight with Cathay Pacific
Wasn’t this long haul enough? It’s 8 hours long!
@@TheLayoverAviationno I meant ultra long haul like from Hong Kong to New York
