Members of Luxury Travel Diary have flown with Cathay Pacific a number of times and have reviewed their long-haul flights in First, Business Class, and most recently, Premium Economy. My trip reports can be found below. Cathay Pacific also features in the top 10 best business class airlines in the world.
Locating the most appropriate Cathay Pacific lounge within terminal 1 can be quite a challenge and somewhat confusing, as the airline operates a number of lounges at its hub (7 in total), all with different names (e.g., The Wing, The Pier, The Bridge, and The Cabin). They are spread throughout the terminal so that passengers can relax in the lounge nearest to their gate.
Cathay Pacific has a number of lounges at Hong Kong airport, but you only get access to these if you travel in Business or First. we have reviewed most of the best airline lounges at Hong Kong airport including the “paid to enter” lounges that you get access to with a Priority Pass.
Below you will find our most recent flight reviews on Cathay Pacific in Business Class, First Class, and Premium Economy. You can draw your own conclusions.
Cathay Pacific First, Business Class & Premium Economy Reviews
Flight Review: Cathay Pacific A350 Business Class HKG to ICN
At the end of September, I finally got the chance to take the business class in the Cathay Pacific A350 planes for my trip from Hong Kong to Seoul. I have previously sat in the Premium Economy seats on the Cathay A350 plane, which I also reviewed. Now, I can pen my thoughts on the Business Class seats. Cathay Pacific has slightly changed their seats on the new A350 planes. The seats are still reverse herringbone seats in a 1-2-1 arrangement, with a total of 38 seats spread out in a larger cabin of 30 seats and 8 more in a smaller cabin. The seats are 20 inches wide and 45 inches in pitch.

Review: Cathay Pacific A330 Business Class
This trip review was in Business Class on a Cathay Pacific Airbus A330-300 from Hamad International Airport (DOH) in Qatar to Hong Kong (HKG). The flight itself was okay, with a great cabin crew, excellent seats, and unimpressive food. Cathay Pacific features in our top 10 best airlines for long-haul Business Class. Cathay Pacific Business Class passengers have access to the brilliant Qatar Airways Al Mourjan Business Lounge, located on level 3 at Hamad International Airport. From the lounge, it was a ten-minute walk to gate A7 to the Cathay Pacific Airbus A330-300 flight.
Review: Cathay Pacific First Class On Boeing 747-400
I flew Cathay Pacific First Class in the Boeing 747-400 from Hong Kong to Tokyo Haneda in late 2015. Traveling in First Class gives you entry to the Cathay Pacific Pier first class lounge and The Wing business class airport lounge at Hong Kong airport.

After hanging out at the British Airways Terraces Lounge and the Qantas Lounge for dinner, I went to the gate and boarded the plane.
