How Cathay Pacific makes flying business class a true luxury experience

Long-haul flights often get a bad rap for being uncomfortable, boring, and well… long. From cramped leg space to not-so-tasty meals, these long flights have a (long) history of unenjoyable experiences.

But not with Cathay Pacific. The premier, five-star airline from Hong Kong has reinvented the long-haul flight with the utmost luxury, even with its Business Class options.

Now, Business Class reaches new heights, delivering spacious cabins, smart design, and world-class service on long-haul, direct flights to Hong Kong. Here’s how it stacks up.

The pre-flight experience

Before stepping on the plane, Cathay’s exclusive Business Class experience arrives at two premium Hong Kong Business Class Lounges. Its largest lounge, Hong Kong’s The Pier at Terminal 1, features an authentic tea house where seasonal blends are served by tea specialists, on top of Cathay’s premium amenities like 14 shower suites, deli-style Food Hall, and workstations.The Wing on Level 6 of Terminal 1 boasts a coffee loft for frothy cappuccinos, sweets, and sandwiches while the famed Noodle Bar is where Hong Kong specialties like dan dan noodles are always fresh and flavourful.

Full luxury on flight

Cathay Pacific

If the lounges were gorgeous, the flight is the real show stopper. Sink into luxurious Business Class cabins, expertly designed for the utmost comfort whether you’re relaxing or working. Take advantage of adjustable lighting, expansive tables, power outlets, customizable sitting and sleeping settings, and (most importantly) a lie-back bed!

Meals worth savouring

Cathay Pacific

The elevated experience continues with indulgent Hong Kong flavours on the exclusive dining menu, which features plant-forward dishes crafted in partnership with Michelin-starred restaurants.

You’ve never had airplane food quite like this! Plan out all the details and pick your meal ahead of time with the Choose My Meal service.

Cap off your meal with Cathay Pacific’s award-winning Business Cellar picks and enjoy fine wines, champagne, spirits, and beers — I recommend the Betsy beer, a pale ale specially designed to taste even better at 35,000 feet.

Entertainment

Cathay Pacific

For the entertainment portion of your flight, look no further than Cathay Pacific’s biggest-ever collection of movies, shows, and music, spanning from Hollywood new releases, Asia cinema classics, and award-winning TV.

And when you want to stay up-to-date with the world below or send a few emails, live sports, news, and superb Wi-Fi connectivity are at your fingertips — at all times.

Rest and relax
