Air Pacific

Advantages: many
Disadvantages: none

...My first flight with Cathay Pacific is dated back to 1979. I was in Hong Kong looking to fly to Seoul, South Korea but all flights with Korean Air were sold-out for the next 10 days. So, I decided to give a try to Cathay Pacific. I went to one of Cathay Pacific office and I bought an one way First class ticket to Seoul. The next day I checked-in at Kai-Tak airport (the old and much missed airport of Hong Kong) in a couple of minutes and I was to my way to First class lounge. The flight was good. Perfect service. Superb foods and drinks. But at the end I felt not fully satisfied. I missed something that only Singapore Airlines and the Singapore Girls were able to give away.

Advantages: Great customer service
Disadvantages: None

...Cathay Pacific in short is one of the best airline companies in the world, and that concludes my opinion. NOT, I could go on all day about how excellent Cathay Pacific is. Cathay Pacific is an Asian airline company based in Hong Kong where they have a vast headquarter site where they research and run the company.

There check in staff are very helpful and can sort out any... Read review

Advantages: Great service, excellent on-board entertainment, and very efficient in all ways!.
Disadvantages: Maybe slightly overpriced but competes well against British Airways long haul flights!.

...I have travelled frequently on Cathay Pacific airlines between the London-Hong Kong route. The times I have travelled on CPA, I have never been late and sometimes have reached my destination upto 1 hour hour early!. The on-board service is excellent with air-hostesses from all over the world not just from Hong Kong alone, although this is where the flight's are originating or heading from. The flight entertainment is brilliant with a choice of 14 radio stations to choose whilst the best is left til last. Have you ever been onto a flight where you can't see the TV screen?. CPA has the answer to this, there are small televison screens situated all round the plane and a large screen placed at the front of the section of each seating area. Films shown on flights are sometimes not yet released in England, and with programmes shown during... Read review
