Cathay Pacific Airways Boeing 777 Economy Class seat review  - 3 July 2010 by  Brendan Maughan   (Australia)

New economy seat. Absolute torture. I'm 6'4" Doesn't recline, only slouches, so you slump down and your neck is bent at a torturous angle. No support, no legroom, luckily I was in an aisle seat and could stick one leg out in the aisle. Very disappointing as the Cathay inflight service is very good. Never again.

I used to love flying on Cathay Pacific but their new "shell" economy seat is absolute torture. These seats don't recline at all but only slouch forward. Unless you are 5'8" or shorter, you should plan on spending the whole trip bolt upright, because the "slouch" position bangs your knees into the seat in front of you, and provides no back or neck support. On one leg of the flight there were empty seats next to me but I could not use them to recline because the armrests only fold up partially. One can only hope that the airline quickly realizes what a big mistake they made with these seats and replaces them soon! I'm certainly not going to fly this airline again until they do so.




Cathay Pacific Airways A330 Economy Class seat review  - 15 April 2010 by  P Chung   (Australia)

My seat was 30A, this is the best seat in the new A330 on flights from Australia to Hong Kong. This seat is the first row of the economy cabin, although this cost around AUD$100 (HK$700) extra, but worth it on those 10hr long haul flights. The best thing is that you can get out of the seat without disturbing the person next to you. The con is that you cannot place any carry on in front of you.

MNL-HKG. Old seats again. Legroom alright for 2 hour flight however when seat in front reclined there was no room and no way to see the PTV. Width was mediocre at best. Okay for 2hours however if was flying back to Australia would suffer.

HKG-MNL. Old style seats. Had 30abc at the bulkhead and wow. 30c had more legroom than any other seat in the world as the bulkhead ends at 30b. Even 30a and b had the most legroom I have ever seen outside an exit seat. Seat width although was hampered by having a the tray table in the armrest and PTV being pull out. Overall a comfortable flight.

Having travelled on the new and the old economy class seats, the new seat offers a superior overall experience. While the recline may not be the same, the ability to control your own space is superior. Only concern would be the 'airbag' on the seatbelt - takes up room.

We have just returned from Europe and spent a sleepless night on the Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong to Sydney. I am of average height and am usually quite comfortable on a flight but in this case the the lack of seat recline put an intolerable stress on my lumbar spine which was left unsupported (literally in mid air) when I tried to stretch to a sleeping position. My advice to passengers who are already booked on Cathay Pacific economy is to take a good sized travel pillow for lumbar support.

I flew MNE-HKG and return in A330s with the shell seats. They are not suitable for taller people. I am 186cm and my son is 194cm and we both found it impossible to get comfortable unless we sat bolt upright and then our heads would tend to sag forward because of the pitch of the seat. We flew in an A330 with the older type seat from Tokyo to Hong Kong and found the seats to be better.
