AMAZING 14 Hour Economy Experience! | Cathay Pacific Airbus A350-1000 | Trip Report | HKG - ORD

Brilliant flight review mate.Cathay is a great airline for sure.

Haven't seen your content in a while. Glad to see vids

Polished editing and clear, pleasant narration! I would for sure choose an aisle seat for any flight longer than 5 hours, though I realize you wouldn't have gotten the great wing view and aerial footage had you done that.

Man, you just missed the signature cup noodle and egg tart snack. Passenger all loving it so much.

Really great video, I'm nervous about my next flights with Cathay, 14 hours duration. In the next month. Wish me luck

unfortunately lav cleanliness really depends on when you enter. Lucky if the crew just did their routine cleaning. Bad luck if someone ahead of you mess up the entire place. Overall really nice video with really high res especially during the plane spotting at the airport. Cathay Pacific definitely is one of the top airlines rivalling the Middle East carriers & Singapore Airlines. Definitely one of my top 5.

Thanks for the analysis! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

How is the bus system in HK? I heard that it’s very easy to pay for them with any card right? Very intuitive system it seems.

The seats are horrible if you are over 6ft... I flew to Boston to Hong Kong and the only reason I got thru it was because I wasn't alone. If someone leans back you are screwed.

Thoughts on flying thru Russian airspace? All CX flights from the North America east coast will fly through the eastern side of Russia. *I realize that you went the transpacific route (Hk -> ORD).

Typical Asian airlines standard. Try more Asian Airline next time
