I've flown many airlines, including many American carriers, as well as Asian ones, big names included. But my top choice is Cathay Pacific (CP) if going to the Asia. Service is very good and they are more easy going with luggage weight, especially the carry-on, if you flew Business class. In-flight meals are good for the premium class. Not sure about coach though. Only thing is, CP does not allow free WiFi on their flights, even Business class. It's not so much of a problem for me, as I usually go to sleep after the plane takes off so I don't really need it. :) I've been on SA, KA. Thai Airways, AA, UA, EA, and China Southern Airlines, etc., the last few years, but still prefer CP since I've had good experience with them on my last few trips. The flights also always arrived earlier than scheduled and smooth take-off, smooth landing. read more

I surpringliy enjoyed my flight with Cathay from LAX to HK. The 14-hr flight with assigned seat almost towards the back of the plane really made me questioned why I never thought to treat myself with more comfort with larger leg room or better class tickets..but it was hard to ditch my frugality..so I attacked through with the ticket and boarded the plane...ready to be tortured through an arduous flight. But..to my surprise, the flight was not full at all amd I got the whole roll of 3 seats to myself! So..I really enjoyed my comfort tp be able to lay flat and move around so easily on my flight! The staff were kind. They were happy to help with anything. I would say...it was a great flight and traveling with Cathay for the first time from LAX through Hong Kong was a good experience for me! read more

All was good, from booking to checking in on app. Since I got the international card, I no longer need to check in person. But they do check your id at the gate. Plane is good, I got the emergency exit and the seat is small,I fitted perfectly, therefore I couldn't move much for 12hrs flight. But at least I go the spaces in front...but I'm nearby the bathroom so during the bathroom rush hrs (3X) there are ALOT of people infront of me and one time, I woke up and there is a butt right here. Also it's an exercise area for seniors, quite interesting and abit odd at times. But learned something for the futures. Can't have them all. I skipped all the meals so can't say much but my kid said it was okey. read more

Cathay Pacific is a joke airline. Their customer service can basically do nothing. I just wanted to change my number because i cancelled my old one. Cant reset thru email. Have to wait 7 days for backend team to reset. read more

When considering the best airlines in the world, Cathay Pacific comes in at number three. In my opinion it is undoubtedly, one of the two best Asian Airlines in the world. While there are numerous airlines that fly to Southeast Asia from LAX, Cathay is one my two favorite options that I travel on, when visiting that region. I never travel on American carriers. They cannot even come close. There's a reason why they never make the most revered Sky Trax best airlines lists. In the case of Cathay, you have to go via Hong Kong (HKG), when traveling to most destinations from LAX. In a span of one year, I have done the LAX to HKG route twice, both in the Business cabin. What surprised me, was that while the service was still stellar, warm and very hospitable, the on board dining menu was almost exactly the same. The choices to order the main dish before hand, are still very limited and lack luster. And important to note, you're not getting something unique, because most of the dishes are on the general menu. Only here, you are guaranteed your choice when you order in advance. The competition approaches this important food avenue differently. Imagine traveling this route for work monthly or several times in a year with Cathay, with no variety. Having said that, I chose the same dishes as before, for the two hot meals on the almost 14-hour LAX to HKG flight . Spicy prawns with choy sum for supper and the western choice of scrambled eggs for breakfast. Both dishes did not disappoint and were spectacular. I have to say the scrambled eggs were even better than the last time. Soft, fluffy, silky and melting in your mouth. The small tomatoes still on the vine (see my pictures), burst with flavor in your mouth. Accompanying smashed avocado was fantastic. A splendid touch, to a beautiful meal finale, before landing in Hong Kong. read more

Flight from Hkng to Toronto today. I've asked for bottled water three times from three stewardess in a span of 2 hours. All said they would look and come back to confirm. Crickets! (nobody came back). A male steward even have the audacity to throw tantrum when I refused tap water. Who offers tap water in a plane? Meal was also served 1.5 hours before landing. 20 minutes before landing, they are still collecting trays, by hand, from passengers. Very unsafe. Not your best performance to date. Also, not coming back to passengers after confirming to look into it is unprofessional. read more

Worst customer service ever!!!! Specially their frequent fryer program asia miles . Sent them my passport copy to make name correction on my membership, I can see the correct name on my profile but still they issued my redemption ticket with the wrong name. Called and emailed them so many times , refused to correct the ticket unless paid the change fees read more

This airline was good maybe 10-15 years ago. It's only gotten worse and worse since then. Our flight was delayed 2 hours, making people with connecting flights miss their transfer and us late to my fiance's surprise engagement party. So people were waiting for us to arrive for over 2 hours!!! Never flying Cathay again! read more

It is a lousy service. They booked me on 4/19 time .030 flight. I thought to check in at 8:30 on 4/19 and fly at 12:30 am. They did not explained to me to check in 4/18 midnight. So I missed the flight. I booked another flight a week later and had to pay $258 for penalty. The receptionist is a Filipino with a thick accent. Then the line got disconnected three times. I never want to fly Cathay Pacific Airlines anymore. read more

Have had 10 plus long haul fights in Asia Pacific from LAX and this round-trip was the worst. Poor service after meals with passengers having to remove their meal remnants to the galley before cabin crew finally began retrieving them. Inability for pilots to avoid constant and sometimes moderate air turbulence. Infotainment system malfunctioned on the way to Hong Kong so 14 hours nada. Multiple security screenings at HKI for connecting flights after screening at origin (at security transfer and at gate). Multiple passengers talking loudly at 2am onwards while most of us trying to sleep. read more

This is one of the 3 dishes I had on my flight from Manila to Hong Kong and then to Los Angeles. They have a great menu, and the servings are ample. From a perspective of comfort, I'd say their planes are nice, though the flight attendants are 50-50. Some passengers may tend to over recline their seats, but thnis is not the airlines fault. They provide blankets and pillows, which is good cos other airlines like Cebu Pac fail to do this. Overall, I would recommend them especially if you prefer an airline with good after sales support for adjusting or canceling one legs of your flight, too. read more

100% Great service and schedule. Loved it and highly recommend it over any American airliners

Bk to lax cx882 on 12/24/25, business class,the worst service you can expect, food is mediocre at best, no taste, no presentation and no quality ,soup looks like a vomitus in a plate! Thank you I'd rather stay hungry! Slow staff, they don't care! Save your money and book with a different reputable airline, Never, never again ! read more

So far the online experience has been awful. The website is terrible and the online help is nonexistent. I have booked my tickets, one of the flights got changed, but there was no email or text, I found out when it was a red sign next to the flight (saying cancelled!) when I logged on just to check something else. This is my first experience on this airline. One hears about the glamour of Hong Kong! ..... what happened to the airline? read more

Last month we traveled from Los Angeles to Tokyo via Hongkong with this airline. we were in the Premium Economy Class. Cathay Pacific is not the same at it was some twenty years back. The service was the issue I noticed. The cabin crew in all the four flight we took was not passenger friendly. Mo smile, no interaction, no acknowledgement. They were just pre occupied with their duties. The seats were old and not comfortable. The food was okay but not the best. I will not travel on this airline anymore. There are better choices out there. read more

I flew from Los Angeles to Mumbai with layover in Hong Kong. Good: The flight was on schedule. Food was fine. Bad: 3 items from my check-in bag were stolen. And the bag was locked with a TSA lock. :( When I got home and opened my bag, I found that the box for my new iPhone was stolen. Thankfully, I was carrying the iPhone with me. And a bottle of Biotin and Refresh Eye-drops were stolen. Speculation: Did they see the iPhone box thru the scanner and opened the bag to steal it. Then grabbed whatever items were conveniently located at the top of the bag. We may never know. read more

I used to be a fan of Cathay Pacific for its nice services, clean and decent foods , but too bad it was long ago, I just want to try again in Nov 2023 and it really upside down, i have to say the rating should be the worst!!! Old air plane, seat was flat that I can feel the bottom, small, bad and bad foods, service really from the third world country the airport in HK with a bunch of un professional services with plenty of agents who stop to people at the boarding gate with very stupid questions and behaviors..... never again ! read more

Diverted from HK to TPE, only to sit on tarmac for 3hrs while a crew from HK flys to get us and fly us back to HK. Can't make this up. Rookie airline, with horrible inflight service, and crew. Airline has no concept of customer care and support. No longer flying this amateur airline. read more

It's convenient flying with Cathay Pacific to Asia, however, the check-in attendants are rude and inefficient to help you get through the boarding process. There's no clear sign for boarding groups in front of the gate, all classes are mixed up and such a chaotic mess, pretty terrible start for a long flight. read more

The flight had all guests board, but we waited two hours inside CX 883 waiting for the plane to be fixed. This completely made our entire family's connection via Cathay Pacific to Taipei to be missed, and ruined our entire planned visit. We feel very traumatized. It felt extremely frustrating and destroy our trip itinerary. Barely any announcements or time availability to keep us occur read more

We purchased two 4th class roundtrip tickets to SEA via Hongkong and received 5th class service. Nevermind the tickets costs in excess of $1200 each. The worst was the 1-2 punch of 1: every single seat was filled on all flights while 2: seats spacing could be measured in mm's. The food was surely unrankable as any non packaged part (aka the "meal") was wholly disposed upon serving. Why do they bother and add to their costs? No AC outlets, the USB power didn't work, and any internet access costs $10 for one hour on a 14-hour flight. The reading lights were aimed at random places. One poor passenger next to me (in the 4-seat middle section) had two lights all the way from the 3-seat window section directly aimed at her face, which required waking up six people to reach the lights to adjust, post two hours of suffering . My own light as aiming to 1.5 seats over from me. Even after getting all the in-between people up, the seats are so close it was not possible to stand up straight to reach the lights. pray for long arms to reach then sitting down! I give them is one star for actually completing the trip on the junk that passes for airplanes made by Boeing and the attendants were polite and efficient. We made the same trip about five years ago on the same airline, which provided actually good service for the same class seats. I suppose this is what happens when communism takes over anything. Avoid the thrills-n-spills of riding death traps made by Boeing and not least, avoid enriching the CCP and go for Singapore Air, since United was about as bad in 2023, but somehow that wasn't too surprising. read more

The service and attitude of the staff is the absolute worst. They speak in a condescending tone and act like they hate their jobs. I know they are being paid poorly but that is not the customer's fault. They wouldn't even get me water and said wait until meal time. Do not fly this airline... overpriced with budget service. Not the same airline any more... the best people there are all gone. read more

I'm now travel with friends from Shanghai to Hong Kong. And at the service counter In PVG the girl name "Teresa" serves us. And she is had a bad attitude and service which giving a lots of hard time. No friendly expressions on her face. We feel insulated and not welcome. First here and our last time with Cathy Pacific. We are going home with worse experience that we ever had. We would strongly recommend Cathay Corp, should have a training on your staff. We come with in exciting feelings and we are leaving with bad, sad and disappointed. read more

In my 20 years+ experience flying with Cathay Pacific Airways has been both bitter and sweet, bitter for the most part... they used to be good, really good! And unfortunately, in the recent years, due to their poor investment decision in the fuels industry, they have been losing big money since, cutting costs and staffs, making the seats smaller and cramping more PAX into the plane were inevitable. Thus CX's reputation has been free falling from a luxury brand to an incompetent overpriced budgeted airliner. When your comfort goes down, their share price goes up. Economy Class: Cathay Pacific has the worse seat configuration among all the long haul flights in the whole wide world, their seats are really narrow and small, Urban legend says only Asians can fit in there, but in reality, only small children and midgets could fit into the seat comfortably. The back slide design is the root of all evils, very un-ergonomic, especially after a 12+ hours long haul flight, it's certain that one should seek a chiropractor for adjustment right after the flight, so your lower body doesn't become permanently damaged and paralyze due to bad sitting postures. From LA TO HK, cost of a round trip ticket is around USD $700 to $1200. Premium Economy Class: Many people find Premium Economy class very excited when it first rolled out a few years ago, yet, their size and width of the seats were just considered the standard and exactly how a regular Economy seat should be sized in the other part of the world. From LA TO HK, cost of a round trip ticket is around USD $1,500 to $2,500 Business Class: So, the only good thing I am able to talk about Cathay Pacific Airways is their Business Class, I am sure their first class is just as good if not better, but I can't confirm that, becoz I havn't got an offer to fly first class on CX yet, maybe one of these days, CX can invite me to fly their first class for free, i'll then reconsider changing their rating... The Business class seats are arranged in fish bone configuration fashion, definitely have a lot more personal space and private area compare to the economy class. Seats are adjustable where they can be set to sitting position ,completely flat like a bed and everything in between. I really appreciate their pillows and comforters, they are very soft and comfy. The foods were more than edible, their quality surpassed my in-fiight meal expectation. From LA TO HK, cost of a round trip ticket is around USD $6,500 to $12,000 read more

I didn't have a good experience with Cathay Pacific, on my flight from Hong Kong to JFK (CX830) Sept 29th, a flight attendant (Keith) made me feel really uncomfortable. The flight is a 16 hour flight, where meals are provided and passengers can get snacks in between meals. When I asked Keith for a snack he refused to give me anything stating meal time will be on 30 minutes, however everyone around me was provided with a snack upon their request. When I called again to see if there was a misunderstanding, he continued to pass my seat and ignored all my calls. This made me feel very uncomfortable. I dont wish this on anyone. read more

I flew Cathay Pacific business class from LA to HK to TPE. The Good: The seat was comfortable with plenty of space where you can lay down flat. Service was great with very attentive flight stewardesses. A good selection of beverages with vintage champagne and wines, and nice liquor. The Not So Good: The food in business class was just ok for me. Nothing was that delicious or memorable. Unlike other airlines, the way the entree was served was on a cart and you get to choose what you want. This just doesn't feel as nice and some entrees were cold for having been on the cart for some time. A five and a half minute commercial reel in the beginning of every movie and TV show you watch. For a 14-hour flight, I watched 5 movies and had to go through the same commercial reel in the beginning of every single movie. Had to fast-forward every time to get to the movie. That's a bit excessive in my opinion. Overall, I'm giving CP business class 3 stars. It's not bad but just ok. read more

I'm kind of mixed on this review. I admit to having higher expectations from Cathay Pacific, an airline I used years ago and loved. My most recent experience was a flight from LAX to Thailand through Hong Kong and back in premium economy. I chose to spend about $1000 over what regular economy cost (which was higher priced than other airlines). I definitely appreciated the larger seats, deeper incline and more leg room. The designated bathroom was a plus too. But beyond that, I felt the overall service lacked. Last year I flew with Eva in economy. The staff was nicer and proactive, the food was more plentiful and better, the bathroom amenities were better (complimetary face spray, wash moisturizer, hand lotion, toothbrushes/paste and mouth wash) and all flight legs had wifi available. My Cathay Pacific flights had no wifi, the attendants were nice but weren't actively available without ringing that call button, and the food served was fairly mediocre. So, for me, the cost of premium economy on Cathay Pacific was money well spent on the merits of comfort only. But the next time I fly to Asia, I'll spend a little more purchasing business class tickets on Eva and get a lot more. read more

THEY DO NOT CARE! Cathay cancelled my mom's flight and I have been calling them everyday for more than a week now and has been promised something a lot of times. NOTHING!!! I have been very patient with each call. I've ask for a supervisor on the 3rd call and they promised they'll call me back in 2 hours, Nothing!!! Final call..I was promised to get a confirmation email of approval in 24 hours, 3 days later, no emails, nothing! They have to get an approval to replace a shorter flight they canceled even if the replacement was way longer for a Senior. Now calling again for the approval because the flight is in 2 days and the replacement flight they offered is denied. I have to buy another flight for my mom and cancel part of the flight. Cathay disappointed me a few times already! Enough is enough! read more

NEGATIVE 100 STARS, if it were only possible... Cathay Pacific used to be one of my favorite airlines because their service all throughout was always great. GONE ARE THOSE DAYS. I handle all of my parents' travel plans. Sometime ago, they were booked to go to the Philippines for a few months' retreat. I get an email around 8pm the night before their flight stating their flight from LAX to HKG the next day was cancelled. Followed by "Sorry for the inconvenience." No other explanations, no recourse. I went online to secure a phone number and the only thing I got is that customer service isn't available until 6am the next day. What worried me is that this cancellation would only mean they would miss their connecting flight to MNL. Their suggested rescheduled flight would also mean they will be stuck at the HKG airport for 12 hours because no connecting flights to MNL are scheduled until then. BUT! I also learned there was a flight to HKG 4 hours after I got that initial email and that a connecting flight to MNL was scheduled only 2 hours after landing HKG. It's a good thing my parents were packed and that we live less than 30 minutes from the airport. So, we took the chance and loaded the car with all their luggage and rushed to the airport. Airport staff put them on standby. As one can imagine, we were anxious the WHOLE time. In the meanwhile, this lady (who clearly works with the airline since she knew all the counter people) was getting her mother a free/buddy pass to the same flights I was trying to get my parents on. No problem, she was upgraded to business class. (Huh, must be nice.) And here are my parents - PAYING CUSTOMERS, MIND YOU - who were basically getting screwed by their decision to cancel their flight (with NO explanations) anxiously waiting the fate of their travel plans. Anyway: I overheard them saying there were plenty of seats available on business class. So, I went up to the same counter person and asked - would it be easier for my parents to get on this flight if I upgraded them to business class? I was more than willing to spend the $. She responds by saying they are not allowed to be upgraded because we bought the tickets online. (WHAT?! So?!?!) She just basically refused to go through the trouble. My parents got on that flight anyway. Separate seats, no biggie. They were also booked on the connecting flight from HKG to MNL. Of course the story doesn't end there! What fun would that be?! SO! Like that wasn't enough garbage to deal with, right?! FAST FORWARD A FEW MONTHS LATER!!!! Parents were on their way back. They made their flight from MNL to HKG with no problems. Their connecting flight to LAX was not for another four hours. Then all of a sudden, that flight was cancelled. Their flight was just all of a sudden gone from the screen. No notification or announcement was made, so my mother wasn't aware of it until I contacted her via messenger. I informed her I got an email saying they were rescheduled for the next available flight in about 2 hours. I also advised her to keep an eye out for any more possible changes. 2 hours after I got that initial notification, I got another email stating the rescheduled flight was cancelled again and that they were rescheduled for the flight about 2 hours after that. I advised my Mom to speak to someone at the airline counter (or their office) and inquire. Long story short, the response she got from the manager is, "Cathay always cancels these flights..." walked away without further information. His assistant was so embarrassed by his attitude that she tried to compensate with food vouchers, seeing my parents were gonna be stuck there for awhile. So, two senior citizens patiently waited for their twice rescheduled flight. An hour before scheduled boarding for the flight, I got another email saying the 2nd rescheduled flight has been cancelled AGAIN. There was only one flight left for the day, and was told they were booked for THAT flight. They ended up hanging out at the HKG airport for a total of 12 hours. They had scheduled gigs in Los Angeles which they ended up missing due to these delays. I tried contacting their customer service to inform them of these horrendous experiences. A part of the online form states: "Would you like a response?" Why bother having this when it won't even allow me to click on "YES"?! For me to say this airline sucks is a flattering compliment. They are a bunch of wicked minions to deal with. I used them A LOT for me and many family members whenever we travelled to Asia. I recommended them to many friends and colleagues. NEVER EVER EVER EVER AGAIN. They make it clear their best interest is to look out for themselves (as proven by the employer who got her Mom - a non-paying customer - free business class tickets) vs. looking out for paying customers. They just simply don't care. AVOID THIS AIRLINE AT ALL COSTS! read more

There's a fella there named Meng (I hope I spelled this right). This airport gig must be a disguise for his real job: Super Hero. See... my dad just died. The past couple days have been a blur. I get to the airport and it, too, is a blur. Long story short, if it weren't for him I would have missed my dad's memorial service. I don't know how to repay his kindness, but I'm going to figure something out when I get back. I am profoundly grateful that people like him still exist in this world. I thought my was the last of them. Thank you. read more

Let me start with 5 stars to Amanda and meng. Great people! They helped tremendously, made our trip easier. Best customer service. read more

First experience just awful. They promoted 500,000 free tickets, but the fine print says there were actually only 2890 for the United States! This is the classic definition of a scam. I spent time in advance researching flights and details in the terms and conditions. But when the "free tickets" supposedly became available, it was endless frustration. They wanted over US$5200. The promised discount code was never provided. I have received no response to several inquiries. I have been to Hong Kong and China repeatedly, but will never fly Cathay Pacific. read more

These days, my motto for a good international flying experience: Just put me on anything better than United, please. So it was my first time flying Cathay but heard a lot of good things from family and friends. A flight from LA to HK would take 15 hours. Check-in at LAX was pretty smooth and uneventful. Boarding was relatively orderly and timely. The flight attendants throughout were friendly and accommodating, unlike the crews of a lot of US air carriers. Okay, okay, fine, I'll admit: the Cathay flight attendants were aesthetically pleasing as well. The food wasn't too bad but not excellent. I think Korean Air is a bit better, but Cathay's offerings were pretty good. However, I did find mold in my roll, which I reported to the flight attendant. She apologized and noted the mistake. Both breakfast and dinner had Western and Chinese offerings and generally the latter was better. I enjoyed the braised pork with pickled vegetables the most. Having Haggen-Daz ice cream for dessert can't be a bad thing, too. The galleys had snacks throughout the flight, such as dried fruit, chips, crackers, and chocolate. I loaded up on the Toblerone like a pig for sustenance. The seating areas and the lavatories were generally clean. Definitely much cleaner than United or Air Canada. Plus the lavatories worked too, unlike said airlines. I know, the little things... The entertainment system, overall, was sufficient. I did see a few movies and a few television shows on the flight over. It was nice having a mix of Asian and Western entertainment. Unfortunately, the crew didn't have nearly enough landing cards so I had to fill out mine on the ground. I mean, I know a lot of the passengers will be transiting elsewhere, but don't you think some of them would actually be staying at your most major hub??? read more

Booked my roundtrip business flight to Hong Kong on Cathay. It was a international red eye flight that left around 11:50 sunday night and landing around 6 am on Tuesday. Almost 15 hrs going and 13 hrs back is freaking long but Im used to it as its long as flight going home to Japan. I picked this flight as I got to fly in business class and was looking forward to taking advantage of the fully flat beds. Im not a good flyer and barely get any sleep and thought maybe if I got to really lay down I would finally get some Zzzz's. I was hoping it would be on the newly designed business class seats but I ended up on the older business class cabin. The seats are setup more diagnally so you have total privacy from the person next to you and in front of you. Its a pretty comfortable ride. The flight attendants were all very attentive and friendly. They fed you like there was no tomorrow and the food was really good. I mean good for airplane food. See some of the pic. They are part of OneWorld so I will get mileage points for AA so Im happy about that. I wouldnt think twice flying Cathay again. Of course I would like to fly business class everywhere I go but im good with going coach...shit I aint got much of a choice LOL! It was a smooth flying goodness!! read more

Sorry to rain on your parade, but I absolutely despise CX. In the past, CX was the only carrier to fly to certain cities, but not anymore. These days, there IS a thing called choice. I remember flying CX (not by choice) because a company invited me on a trip and they paid for a business class ticket, so I had to fly them. Not only was the service CRAP, but the waitresses (oh I mean air hostesses -- oops did I say that? I meant flight attendants) would only attend to cute males and ignore the rest of the people. One extremely rude waitress (oops, I did it again) even told me to hold on when I motioned for her and pointed a finger in my face when she did it. Pissed me the hell off. SHIT, I mean how much does she make to get off telling paid customers (ok, I didn't technically pay) like that? Imagine, this is in business class. In coach, they are even worse, openly flirting with caucasian men who are noticeably single (yes looking for a husband no doubt) and ignoring the rest of the cabin. So no thanks. I do not fly CX. Not even if they have a really great deal going. There is an acronym for CX flight attendants ya know? read more

When people ask which airline I use to go overseas and I tell them Cathay Pacific, they always have this dreamy "OOooOO" moment. They're probably visualizing their business class seats that recline ALL THE WAY. Regardless of the "OOooOO" factor, the are quite surprised to hear the details of what Cathay Pacific offers! If you're flying internationally from LAX to Asia, Cathy Pacific is the airline to fly with. The seats in coach are pretty spacious and surprisingly comfortable for that agonizingly long flight of yours. Before you are seated, there's already a small pillow and a blanket placed on your seat for you. They offer FREE snacks between meals throughout the ENTIRE flight! Not to mention FREE adult beverages for those who are of drinking age! If you question whether their airline food is good, you will be pleasantly surprised. It's so good that they actually supply food for other airlines! There have been upgrades to their media systems that are in front of each seat; we're talking movies, radio, games, etc. for each passenger!!! Some airlines charge you for movie watching, but not Cathay Pacific! Yes their flights might cost you a little more than other airlines, but if factor in the comfort of flying nonstop, the great service, and the free of charge perks, Cathay Pacific is an obvious choice! (Btw, if you're flying from LAX to Hong Kong... Cathay Pacific is the only airline to fly nonstop!) read more

Service really went down. So unfortunate. I've been flying with Cathay every year, since 1999 for business. But it seems the past 3 years or so I noticed a significant drop in service. The quality of food is another story (the whole airline industry should reconsider how to improve the food they serve in general cause it's CRAP). Back to Cathay....the stewardesses are "fake" friendly with glazed smiles, focused too much on protocal not customer needs, and downright annoying. I'm a pretty compliant traveler and easy maintenance....but at times I feel like they're my mother. Don't use the bathroom, put your chair back up, put this away, can't use your iPhone...blah, blah, blah. The same message can be said in a different way instead of undermining the travelers or annoying the hell outta them. CHILL OUT! I understand safety is the top priority. But the flights I take are usually 12 hours long (it's very brutal) therefore service is really the dealbreaker here. There were also several instances where my needs were overlooked or my requests for certain things were simply forgotten. The moment they saw I was agitated, they'd jump right away to fix the "damage." I also noticed special attention is placed on Chinese speaking passengers (Cathay is based off of Hong Kong and most stewardesses are Chinese). Sad but true...something I observed. I used to take pride in Cathay and really valued the whole flight experience as something memorable. I'm really disappointed and I hope Cathay will make some drastic changes for improvement. read more
