Following the news and updates around the COVID-19 pandemic, many airlines were forced to suspend or reduce their daily operations. We have the latest information from airlines and hotels all around the world. As the pandemic started to slow down, especially in Europe, airlines are slowly rebuilding their schedules, putting out promotions, and most importantly […]
Cathay Pacific has been my ‘go-to airline for trans-pacific crossings for some time. I like the ‘hard product’ with the mini-suites a lot – especially for a redye. The airline has well-deserved reputation for being on-time and rarely disappoints. Staff is highly effective though not overly friendly. My biggest grip is usually the catering with […]
I have had my share of Economy Business and First Class experiences on Cathay Pacific. Most of them have been very positive. I was curious what would have changed for this trip from Johannesburg to San Francisco. Cathay Pacific uses one of (the many) Priority Pass lounges at Johannesburg airport. These lounges all have the […]
Cathay Pacific runs a number of Business Class lounges at Hong Kong International Airport – The Wing, The Deck, The bridge and The Pier. Courtesy of a 20 hour layover I decided to give The Pier Business Class lounge a try. The lounge is typically the farthest away for most US departures at the other […]
I had just flown over the Pacific a few days before this trip and was looking forward to enjoying one of my favorite business class products (especially for sleeping) again. Unfortunately, the inbound flight from Hong Kong had to make an emergency medical stop in Taipei on the way to San Francisco and that would […]
Cathay Pacific has been my go-to airline to get to Asia for a long time. I love the Cathay Pacific Business Class mini-suites (more so than Cathay Pacific First Class) and the airline goes to almost anywhere I want. Cathay Pacific Economy Class Cebu (CEB) to Hong Kong (HKG) on the A330, including the Plaza […]
Garuda Indonesia uses the international configuration for a number of flights between the busiest airports in Indonesia Jakarta and Denpasar. Terminal 3 at Jakarta airport was just inaugurated a few weeks ago and everything is still shiny. It looks more than Singapore Changi Airport than what you are used to from Jakarta airport. Garuda is […]
Cathay Pacific has had a long-standing service to and from South African’s largest city and I was curious to try out the long flight over the Indian Ocean to Hong Kong. The flight does not feature a first class anymore, but is run in a three-cabin configuration (economy, premium economy and business). It now features the new […]
After my 10-day ‘layover’ in Hong Kong (and after exploring Phnom Penh and Hanoi), I was curious to see how much I’d like the A330 configuration for Cathay Pacific Business Class. I decided to use the Terminal 1 lounge across from Gate 4 – ‘The Wing’ – and to my surprise it was rather empty that […]
Let’s spill the beans right away – this was an awesome flight with the well-oiled Cathay Pacific machine. I had arrived early to check in after a bit of exploring in LA. It was open four hours before departure (there was also an earlier flight to Hong Kong) and check-in took all of a few […]
I had been on the westbound flight (my Etihad Business Class Review) just 5 weeks earlier – this time I took the day time flight from the US to the UAE. Etihad uses Empire CLS in San Francisco for their complimentary chauffeur service (also on award tickets such as mine). The driver picked me up […]
Last week I flew Cathay Pacific Business Class from Bali (DPS) to San Francisco (SFO) via Hong Kong (HKG). I was quite a bit unwell so I did not collect enough memories to write a full review. The first leg from Denpasar to Hong Kong (which is almost 5 hours in flying time) was run […]
I had been on Cathay Pacific Business Class a few times but never on the Vancouver route. As I made my way on. AAdvantage award from Alaska to Rio de Janeiro for 50,000 miles I added the route to my itinerary. Now Cathay stops in Vancouver and continues to New York and has passenger rights […]
For my Cathay Pacific First Class flight two weeks ago from Singapore to Hong Kong and on to San Francisco I had a 4 hour layover in Hong Kong. Since I had been to The Wing First Class lounge near Gate 4 several times I wanted to try something new. Since May 2015 Cathay Pacific […]
Cathay Pacific First Class isn’t easy to book these days using AAdvantage miles – availability is just a few seats per month now but it is much easier just a few days before your trip. I had booked my return from Singapore via Hong Kong to San Francisco. After my flight from Singapore to Hong […]

Book your flight on Cathay Pacific here. Believe it or not, but I can't remember to have ever missed a flight, especially not when I'm at the airport on time. I watch the boarding announcements on the screen and usually add some extra time to get to faraway gates. Now, Hong Kong airport is big […]
