The past year has been incredibly difficult for Hong Kong, and unfortunately, with what’s happening now with the Coronavirus, the city is really feeling the effects. For those who aren’t familiar, the city has been overrun with protests which started on the 15th of March last year, and they haven’t stopped. The goal of the […]
On my recent trip to Europe I was especially excited, not only was I going to be visiting my favourite city (Amsterdam) but I also finally got the chance to fly on an Airbus A350-1000. I’ve already flown Cathay’s -900, so I was already familiar with the product but was more so just excited to […]
I’ve flown Cathay Pacific several times now, but all of those flights have been in either business or first. This is mainly due to them being very generous with availability. On my recent trip to Europe, I decided I’d swap out a business redemption and see how their premium economy stacks up. For this flight, […]
It’s time for another premium fare deal and I’m sure this one is going to be quite popular. South Africa is a place I’ve wanted to visit for a long time and hopefully, I’ll be able to do so in the future. Like every morning I wake up, I was browsing online and came across […]
In this post, I’ll be reviewing my experience onboard one of Cathay’s A350-900’s from Bangkok to Hong Kong. This flight was taken on my trip back home from Thailand a while ago.

In Australia, we’re very lucky to have many of the world’s top carriers operate services to our major airports. Especially the Asian carriers who are always increasing services to Australia and bringing new aircraft with them. The other night I was planning a trip over to Hong Kong and I thought to myself, ”why doesn’t […]
A few months ago I wrote about Cathay Pacific’s dine on demand trial. Surprisingly, Cathay Pacific haven’t ever offered dine on demand in Business Class but they have been planning to introduce it into service for quite some time. Well, It looks like Cathay haven’t been wasting too much time in rolling it out: The test […]
