CATHAY PACIFIC A350 PREMIUM ECONOMY: Improvement Needed ⚠️

G’day, my name is Jayden, welcome back to my channel! This was my 14th flight in 2023; in late January, I flew Cathay Pacific’s Airbus A350-1000 in premium economy class from Hong Kong to Melbourne. I used my Qantas Gold (Oneworld Sapphire) status for perks such as priority check-in and lounge access. Enjoy the video & thank you so much for watching!

Considering your flight originated in Hong Kong it is disappointing that the catering was so inadequate. I could understand lack of meal options if you were far back but not Row 2.

Glad Cathay have improved the presentation of premium economy meals - they used to be served with economy-style containers

[BudiandLeo]

You're like the only Youtuber who actually reviewed this seat class properly. Thank you lmfao. Out of 5 videos, no one did it correct but you.

Right now Im inlove with ur vids❤ some of the previous videos I missed I watched it. And I did subscribe and share your vids to my friends😊

[WayneKline]

Another very good video Jayden, well done. Although you crop the best parts! 🙂 Very disappointing about the food and water shortages, especially in a Premium Cabin in a full service airline. I do not think Australia will ever get rid of the Arrival Card, or maybe hopefully replace with an electronic version like Singapore and now Malaysia for eGate access.

The flight report was excellent, as yours always are! I loved the vlog. Hong Kong is a magnificent city! Thank you for the video! Have an amazing weekend!

I love Cathay, but as someone who can't eat seafood that would have ticked me off substantially, particularly if I'm paying premium economy prices!

Thanks for all your great reports. Cathay lounge and flights are great as usual. 🎉

Nice video 📸
It's hard to believe they ran out of meal choices both times for you.
Glad you took it well.
This coming from a world class airline.
I don't know about CP, it seems management needs to tighten their screws more.

I will be doing CX LHR-HKG-LHR in a couple of weeks time. Out on the B777-300ER and return on A350-1000 both in PE. Watched your other previous CX PE videos on both aircraft for comparison and expectations. Have reserved 32A on the A350 too.

Nice job on the video. Yup Jayden, it's good to give Cathay Pacific a wake-up call.

[skypony]

Yo, cool, One world flyer, i m glad that you are back !! !

[ruedigerwedi]

Good Morning from Germany 🇩🇪. Always a pleasure to see ur smiling face and hear ur really nice Voice. Perfect Explain!👍👏👍. Stay Safe and HEALTHY 🙏💛💛💛💛🙏🍾😉😄

[francisgo]

Hi Jayden, thanks for your great video on PEY of Cathay, Cathay has not yet reopened all HKG lounges . One is still missing from the list i.e. The Bridge.

[walkwithjonas]

Love that you show the ppl some shots of beautiful HK

[ryansofly]

They should've rotated the meal served by starting from the rear for the 2nd meal. Suppose to ensure everyone gets their fair share. Great video, love CX. The arrival announcement reminded me of my MNL-MEL flight! 😅😂

We used to have those ancestral homes in Singapore as well. But they're so rare these days.

[kim-travels]

will be flying hkg-syd on cx this month as well so curious to see if the food situation would improve by then!

[theisgilbert]

Hppe to see u on the inaugural flight DXB to DPS on June 1. Airbus A380. Good job Jayden

[johnkim]

Hi Jayden, as usual, nice video, your the man❤️so nice you and your mom seems like BEST FRIENDS ❤️❤️

Great video, Jayden! I really want to get back to HKG and try out the cabanas! I miss the lounges there so much. I was surprised they kept running out of a food option after the first row. As someone who doesn't like seafood, I wouldn't have been happy to pay to sit in PE and not have a non-seafood option to eat the whole flight. Glad to hear the service is great as usual. Congratulations to your mom on her new house!
