Cathay Pacific Was Just Named The Best Business Class Airline In The World - Here's Why
Many travelers start at the Hong Kong International Airport, a Cathay Pacific hub. Here, business class passengers get access to the airline's exclusive lounge.
The lounge offers plenty of space to spread out and relax before a long flight.
There are also several options if you want to grab a bite to eat.
Enjoy a breakfast of fried short rice noodles with vegetables, preserved egg and pork porridge, Chinese doughnuts, and fresh fruit.
For lunch, try stir-fried rice noodles with meat sauce, barbecued pork noodle soup, and white wine with soda water.
There's also a made-to-order noodle bar.
It's time to take off!
Most business class cabins on Cathay planes are arranged in a herringbone shape, which allows each seat to fully recline.
In planes without the herringbone layout, there's a retractable divider between adjacent seats. Passengers can open it to chat with their neighbor or close it if they want some privacy.
Every business class seat comes with ample leg room, a footrest, and a shelf to hold food and drinks.
There's plenty of space to stretch out.
Each seat comes with a personal TV that has dozens of movies, TV shows, games, music, and more entertainment on demand. There's also an in-seat phone and outlets to charge your own devices.
Business class passengers also get a pair of noise-canceling headphones.
Every seat converts into a fully flat bed, with extra knee space for those who prefer to sleep on their side.
Flight attendants also give passengers a duvet and large pillow.
Cathay Pacific flights feature multi-course, restaurant-quality meals.
For breakfast, passengers might start with some fresh fruit and bread with butter and jam.
Or opt for a more traditional Chinese breakfast of congee, a Chinese rice pudding.
Lunch is heartier. Passengers might eat steak, potatoes, and cheesecake and fruit for dessert. Notice that meals come with real silverware and glasses, too.
Other meals might include chicken, rice, and vegetables in a curry sauce, with wine to wash it down—in a real glass.
