Cathay Pacific Airways

✅ Trip Verified | The seats are cozy and it can recline to a full flat bed, bedding and pillow are soft. The business class has a 1x2x1 configuration and my seat was assigned on the right hand of middle section. It has ample personal space and storage. It has decent privacy as there is a divider in the middle which separates me from the passenger on the left hand side. It would be nice if they can add sliding door in each business class seat like other airlines.

Not Verified | Seats are definitely on the cramped and tight side on a 3x3x3 configuration in the economy class. If you want a comfortable seating position to rest and even take a nap, recommend picking the window seats, it has slightly more space. On the good side, aisles are slightly wider than the 3x4x3 configuration in some other aircraft types, so passengers should be able to walk down the aisle comfortably. The in-flight entertainment screen is awesome and every seat houses a USB charging port, which is somewhat rare in economy class despite more airlines begin to offer that.

✅ Trip Verified | Not the most comfortable seats in the class. The legroom is on the tight side, the seats are padded and soft. Cabin crew also gave us pillow and blanket to max out comfort for a short nap. Overall, there was nothing I can complain about. If you want extra comfort, go for some of the Middle East airlines.

✅ Trip Verified | Overall Cathay Pacific economy class seat is not top in the class but overall it's fine. Their seats have similar comfort than the competitors. Legroom is alright but I won't say it's top notch. Cathay Pacific offers pillow and blanket for each seat. I managed to have a decent 2 hour sleep. Cathay Pacific could certainly do better on the comfort of economy class seats.

✅ Trip Verified | The seats are alright, about the same as other airlines, head rest and shoulder rest comfort are acceptable but nothing surprising. The entertainment was great with one USB charging port available. There is 2 aisles in economy class cabin on the A330.

✅ Trip Verified | Sitting in those seats was the worst 16 hours of my life! I'm a tiny 5'3 frame and my shoulders were touching the two people next to me. One of them had their leg touching mine the entire time. I could not move my feet either because I had a bag stowed under the seat in front of me and there was no legroom left. The screen felt like it was right up in my face and there was hardly any reclining in the seats. The best part about the flight was going into the bathroom where I did not have to touch the person next to me or hear them breathe. I've been on many flights before including international ones with Cathay Pacific and never complained about the seats in economy. I heard they had condensed the seats a few years ago which is why the space was so small. I could tolerate a few hours flying like this, but 16 hours was well past my limit. Thankfully, I upgraded to Premium Economy flying back. The difference was day and night. I wasn't touching anyone and had plenty of legroom. Even as a budget traveler, it was worth every penny. Never again, Cathay Pacific.

✅ Trip Verified | The seats are dreadful in this aircraft and for sure a dealbreaker. Hard, don't recline properly and cramped! Nothing more to say, really. I won't be using their Boeing 777s again, and I'm sceptical about using any of their other planes if that's how they treat customers.

Not Verified | Seats are too small for comfort. I am only 5'10" and my legs were hard pressed to the seat is front. Aisles are very narrow meaning lot of knocking into people. Food not very nice but in flight entertainment is great

Not Verified | Boeing 777-300ER, I was sat at 63C around midway at the back, I am 6 foot 2 and not the lightest of people - but I haven't had any issues as severe as Cathay Pacific with any other airline. The seat width and seat comfort is shockingly bad, I was travelling with my two elder parents who are considerably smaller than I, yet they too found the seats incredibly uncomfortable as the seat width was quite bad for them too. The legroom is the worst I have ever experienced with any airline. I frequently felt claustrophobic throughout the 12 hour flight and had 'very' and I emphasise very as the space really is that bad! Cathay Pacific recently changed the configuration in economy from 182 seats in economy to 201 - the 19 extra seats really change the comfort of the cabin! On the way to Hong Kong I had the pleasure of flying the A350-900, the seat width, pitch and legroom was good and I was expecting such on the 777-300ER but sadly didn't. I could barely manage 12 hours in the seat, I couldn't imagine spending 14 to 15 hours in the seat, there needs to be some sort of comfort for long haul. the crew on this flight were exceptional, they were very attentive, friendly and made the flight as comfortable as possible.

✅ Trip Verified | In a word, torture. I am 5’8” and my husband is 6’. We weigh 127 and 188 respectively, so we’re not huge people. My husband was equally miserable but he was more stoic and worried about me. I was in the window seat and my husband in the middle seat, simply because I got in first so he could stow our bags overhead and it was difficult to exchange seats at that point. To get out to use the restroom we had to climb over the seats after the kind gentleman on the aisle got up. We could not step out in any other way because of the reclined seats in front of us, even though slightly reclined. Because we couldn’t easily get out we could not stretch and walk as is advised - as a result, we both had badly swollen ankles upon landing. There’s no excuse for this. Our flight to Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific’s Airbus was just fine, also coach. We will never fly in this airplane again.
