Comfort Score :  4/10

2 Star  Legroom space

Mediocre to bad seat space. Avoid 32D as there is a shoe box size compartment under the seat in front making foot rest space extremely small.

I was fortunate enough to have a window seat on a Melbourne to Hong Kong flight however being 188cm (& not overweight) the seats were too small and close together, with the whole IFE system not working at the mid and back economy section and the place more than half empty, I asked to move to a vacant seat towards the front, the response i got was not only rude but offensive, this not only happened to me but to my fellow passengers as well!

Seat 54C extra legroom thanks to the bulkhead but can be a little cold due to the draught coming through the galley.

Flight from Hong Kong Melbourne. I am 6'3" but not heavy. I could not see half of the screen on the IFE when the seat was reclined. The foot rest also rubbed against my shin the whole trip. The temperature of the cabin was also unbearably hot as we and others had to ask 3 times for them to lower it.

2 Star  Legroom space

Although I'm 200 cm I was surprised I could cope with these seats. Plus is the fact that there are only 2 seaters on the side, so when you're travelling with your partner you can stretch a bit. When the seat in front of you is reclined it's difficult not to become claustrophobic.

  Legroom space

The only comfortable plane amongst Cathay's fleet that offers decent seat pitch and semi-modern seats. Blocked the bulkhead seat during online check-in. A must especially if you're flying long haul.

3 Star rating  Legroom space

I began my journey in one of the smallest airplane seats I have ever encountered, right at the back of the economy cabin. It was so narrow I could barely sit in it. When my IFE wasn't working and I complained, I was moved further towards the front of the economy cabin in to a much more spacious seat. No idea why they have this narrow row or two at the back of the A330 economy cabin - it must be to do with the shape of the aircraft. However, it was deeply uncomfortable on the regional 5 hour flight from Tokyo to Hong Kong. The seats further forward were much better and were fairly comfortable. Cathay has excellent IFE when it works!

The very last aisle seat, made recline limited, with almost no legroom especially for people my height (6'3) plus personal TV screen impossible to see when the person in front reclines.

Impossible to rest; you have to defend your "teritory" against the person sitting next to you. Footrest only usable for very short people, and obstructive for anyone taller.
