Cathay Pacific (CX) is the flag carrier of Hong Kong. It is
one of the best airlines in the world with a massive list of destinations
available. Their service is very much comparable to Singapore Airlines. I
really can’t decide which of the two are the best but every penny spent is
definitely worth it for Cathay Pacific.
I have tried Cathay Pacific twice. The first one when I was
a kid (1st Plane ride). I can still remember that even if I was so
young I know I was very happy with my experience. The 2nd one was a
sudden trip early 2016 when we were able to get cheap tickets to Hong Kong (7k
Php all in with tax). Both of my Cathay Pacific segment this year were
cancelled but it was one of the best experience ever. Cathay is indeed one of
the best airlines to experience delays. I don’t like delayed flights but Cathay
Pacific pampered us so much that instead of getting mad it made me love them. I’ll
discuss our delayed experience in a separate post.
Why I love Cathay Pacific
1.) Price – Like other full service airline, Cathay Pacific
can be a bit more expensive than low cost carrier but you will really get what
you paid for. It can go really low to the point that it’s even cheaper than low
cost carrier. I got mine for a little over 7,000 Php for a round trip ticket to
Hong Kong. This already includes the travel tax (1,620) and the Airport Fee
(550).
2.) Comfort – Luckily for me I was able to experience the
Economy, Premium Economy and Business Class. The economy is very much
comfortable with ample leg room. I can survive a long haul flight with their
economy seat specs. Their Premium Economy is almost the same with their economy
seats but it has more leg room and it has a leg rest. The business class is
obviously the best of the three class types I’ve tried. If you have the budget,
you should definitely go for it.
3.) Service – Cathay Pacific’s service is superb. It
exceeded my expectation. Their flight attendants were so nice and even their
lounge attendant were very attentive to my needs. I have no bad feedback
regarding their service. They have a lot of options to give you in case your
flight gets delayed.
4.) Food – In-Flight and lounge food were so good I’m glad I
didn’t eat before my flight. Even way back in 1996/1997, I can still remember
how much I love their food. For a short haul flights, the pie they provided can
definitely fill your stomach. Their lounge
serve good dimsum and noodles.
5.) Entertainment – InFlight entertainment was really good.
It will definitely keep you busy during long haul flights.
6.) Destinations – They have a good network.
My rating 9.83/10.00
