"very friendly staff"

(Australia)

Flew Cathay Pacific from Melbourne to Amsterdam via Hong Kong. Great airline, very friendly staff. Meals were nice but would be nice to pre-order like other arlines offer. The only area for improvement is the lack of visibility or attention once the meal service is over. No water, juice or any snacks were available or offered. It would be nice to see the attendants during the flight. I found the seat to be quite comfortable as it reclines into many positions. It's a shame you can't tilt the screen to be able to view when fully flat. I would definitely fly them again.

"pleasant trip with good IFE"

(Saudi Arabia)

Recently took Cathay Pacific from Bahrain to Cebu via Hong Kong. Pleasant trip with good IFE on demand. Food was pretty average and needs improvement in this area. Crew were very helpful and surprisingly attentive, asking if you needed a drink. The flat bed was comfortable but is a bit cramped when you want to turn over but was manageable.

"quality of food seemed to have improved"

(Switzerland)

Verified Review | Hong Kong to Dusseldorf my first time on a new Cathay Pacific A350. The flight was full up to the last seat. Although the crew was struggling with a broken bathroom light, a slow coffee-machine and a new layout in the galley, dinner was served shortly after take-off. I had the chicken and vegetables "Mott 32" signature dish and was not disappointed at all. Actually it has been one of the best inflight-meals since a long time. In general the quality of food out of Hong Kong seemed to have improved. The aircraft itself is very quiet, I hardly noticed it taking off from the runway. My seat was just next to the toilet and behind the galley but thanks to the noise-surpressing headphones I could not hear a thing and managed to sleep through the night just before breakfast service started. But the highlight on the A350 is its inflight-entertainment system, especially the various flight tracking maps (with view into the cockpit, side-views etc.) and the possibilty to switch on the two cameras (front and on top of the aircraft) simultanousely. I wished that flight had lasted a little bit longer.

"cabin crew very kind and helpful"

(Spain)

Verified Review | Hong Kong to Seoul Incheon. Check in staff was proper but nothing special to mention. The Boeing 777-200 business class seat in this route was quite uncomfortable. Specially the leg rest. The cabin crew in my side was very kind and helpful. Onboard breakfast service I think is a little bit mess - the service was with fruit service with hot drinks (fruit was dislikes), second service was cereal, croisants and breads, and in the third place the main meal. The quality of the food was not really good. The entertaiment system is good, tv screen and the headphone. The Boeing 777 aircraft is a little bit noisy but for the 3 hours route is ok.

"business class was amazing"

(Spain)

Verified Review | Seoul Incheon to Hong Kong. The ground staff in Seoul was not the usual standard, not very good attitude. But this time the business class was amazing! Like the long haul business class flat bed seat and really nice food service on board for a 3 hours flight. Cabin crew very helpful, and kind.

"good for service and facilities"

(China)

Verified Review | London to Hong Kong. Good flight. For long haul I think the 5pm departure is less tiring. On time arrival. Flight is good for both service and facilities. I normally fly BA on this route as they are priced better, but now Cathay Pacific matches it with a similar fare. Cathay Pacific seats are much better, fishbone 4 across against British Airways 8 seats across which results in narrow seats. But departure at T3 is less good. The lounge at Heathrow called No 1 is probably No 1 from last, and crowded. No match for the standard of Cathay, a 5-star Airline.

"but food not among best"

(China)

Verified Review | Hong Kong to Beijing, the 5pm flight departs on time. Service is adequate but food not among best. Dragonair flight at 6pm has much better Business class food, as I fly both serveral times a year. Flight due to arrive at 8pm, dinner starts served at 5:45, probably for the convenience of crew but inconvenient for passengers eating so early. 4 crew member serves 24 passengers in business class is adequate and need not be so 'hurried'. Will fly Dragonair next time and avoid this Cathay Pacific flight by comparison.

"the food quite delicious"

(France)

Verified Review | Flight in December 2015 from Paris to Sydney via Hong Kong with Cathay Pacific. Flight is around 23 hours long, so I was a bit stressed prior to the journey. However, everything was flawless. Cabin crew was professional and pilots very informative in their announcements. The airplanes were clean and spacious, and the food quite delicious; they served ice cream after the main course. You get to see Hong Kong airport from above on approach, and the surrounding landscape is very beautiful.

"extremely clean and well presented"

(New Zealand)

Auckland to Seoul via Hong Kong. Aircraft on both legs dated but extremely clean and well presented. Excellent service from staff, tasty meals, snacks and drink offerings. Limited range of options on AVOD and the touch screen not that responsive at times. Good experience overall and would fly this leg with Cathay again Pacific.

"quite disappointed by experience"

(Germany)

Verified Review | Hong Kong to Dusseldorf. I usually enjoy flying with Cathay Pacific. Last flight was on their new A350 and was looking forward to it. I was disappointed by narrowness of seat (20A), lack of space versus Boeing 777-300 and only 3 toilets in Business class. The crew seemed to struggle with new aircraft. Only good thing on A350 is the quietness. Quite disappointed by experience and service was not at its usual best.
