Premium Review Possibly the worst airline ever. (1213 words)

Cathay Pacific is possibly the worst airline ever. I had YVR-HKG / HKG-HAN / SGN-HKG / HKG-YVR flights booked five months in advance. At the last moment, two days before leaving (Monday night) my mother suffered from a bad fall and broke both of her wrists/arms. I was in Emergency Room most of the day Saturday. I went to the Vancouver airport that night to try to get the ticketing counter to either cancel the flight, or at least remove HKG-HAN/SGN-HKG and change YVR-HKG to a later date - expecting it to be faster/easier than on the phone (as CX does not provide any way to change flights, or even to change the seat, online (despite the flight being booked with ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Cathay Pacific - The Friendly and Efficient Airline from Asi ... (272 words)

Cathay Pacific are one of my favourite airlines. I regularly have to fly from London to the Philippines and whenever possible I fly Cathay Pacific. There are a number of reasons for this. 1. The aircraft is more comfortable than many of the competing airlines, and they generally have a better in-flight entertainment system. This is important as the journey takes in total 17 hours flying time. 2. They have some of the best airline food I have experienced. The range of food available is excellent, and it is generally well presented. 3. The airline staff are always courteous and helpful. 4. The chance to fly through Hong Kong, ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Asia's Best Airline (497 words)

I have to visit my parents once in a while. They live in Pakistan. Though I can go from the London via too, but I love traveling with Cathay Pacific so much that I always plan my trip via Hong Kong. Though the travel time of 13 hours from SFO to Hong Kong is too long and tiring but the staff of Cathay Pacific tries its best to make your journey pleasant. Cathay Pacific doesn?t fly everywhere I expect them to, but still they fly to most part of the worlds. Food: The food is excellent. They are not prepared in traditional Asian style because of the diversity on the plane. They have a western touch to food, which I love. Every meal is accompanied with ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Cathay Pacific: IS CATHAY PACIFIC THE GOD SEND IN AIR TRAVEL? (1650 words)

I must admit, I do travel a lot as my relatives are pretty spread out in the world so I have traveled with various airline companies and multiple types of planes (apart from concorde as it costs way to much) and seeing that Cathay Pacific are an Asian airline, they usually participate in long haul flights which are usually Boeing 747's. In my opinion, I consider Cathay Pacific one of the better airlines. With the amount of times my family and I have traveled with them, we never once had any trouble with poor service or overbooking. Losing luggage almost never happens but there was this one time where the check-in assissant forgot to give us one of ...  Read the complete review
