Editorial Summary

The creator provides a trip report of a Cathay Pacific business class flight from Hong Kong to Taipei using an A321neo aircraft. The journey begins with a visit to the Wing Business Class lounge, which the creator describes as nice with comfortable seats and decent food, though he notes the noodle bar does not surpass the offerings at the China Airlines lounge in Taipei. After providing historical context regarding Cathay Pacific and the Hong Kong international airport, the creator reviews the new narrowbody business class seats. He observes that the new interior colors are smart and refined, though he finds the overall aesthetic somewhat sedate. While he appreciates the storage cubbies and the large tray table, he concludes that the seat design is poorly suited for taller passengers. Specifically, he notes that the low armrests and tray table caused back discomfort during the flight. Despite the seating issues, the creator praises the diverse entertainment selection and describes the onboard service as fantastic and attentive. He concludes that while the flight was pleasant for a short duration, the aircraft might not be ideal for longer routes.

Creator's Key Takeaways

I always film without the company's knowledge and I self-und my trips to be sure I get a true experience.

Don't get me wrong, it's a nice lounge. There were comfortable seats. There was decent food. The noodle bar was okay.

The arms of the chair and the tray table were both just way too low.

As for service, I am happy to report that it was fantastic on board this time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check the description for exact flight fares and upcoming videos.
Avoid the A321neo on longer routes if you are tall, due to low seat arms and tray table.
