Cathay Pacific First Class X'mas to London 2022 - A Return to Form 

As expressed by other viewers of this video, you did an outstanding job of allowing us to enjoy the experience on Cathay Pacific along with you. You put considerable effort into doing this and, rest assured, it is one of the most entertaining and enjoyable inflight videos I have ever seen. I love the way you warmly responded to the friendly efforts of the crew and ground staff. Looking forward to watching your other offerings.

Flight aside, the welcoming staff at lounge and recognition of you is on another level! Very nice

A Gentleman and a Scholar .... is what comes to mind when I watch your videos. :)

Sad to see the fall in standards of the once world class airline but exciting to hear of the new CEO's plans. It will be a very difficult job for many reasons but it would be wonderful if he achieved his aim and re-established Cathay as a very top tier airline. Thank you for the report - it was lovely to see how they treat not only a first class passenger but also how they recognized and rewarded status and loyalty.

Brilliant review, glad that Hong Kong FINALLY completely open again with no COVID restrictions after a tough 3 years.... Onto more prosperous times. Great review of the first class product, looking forward to seeing Cathay bounce back (and hopefully reopen some of their lounges that were closed around the world as well as their pilot bases).

What a great job you did on this video. I loved Cathay Pacific's first class experience when I took an an around the world journey years ago. It was on a 747. The service was impeccable. I'm happy to see they are coming back. Thank you for sharing this.

I always enjoy your videos ! Having travelled recently on Cathay Pacific in business class Manila to Bangkok via Hong Kong, my experience was faultless ! As an Australian, I would normally choose Qantas, but this time I opted for a change in carrier. The crew were exceptional, and as I was traveling with my secretary, I was anxious to ensure, I kept a beady eye on them....they were faultless !!! Food was very good,the French red wine was good without matching its Australian counterpart, but then again, I am an Aussie with a little bias of course.....I will fly Cathay again, and have instructed my staff to do the same.

I just came across your channel. AMAZING videos. The commentary, the music, the edits, the footage. All first class. Thank you for putting so much effort into these videos. I truly felt like I was there

Ken, i am thoroughly biased towards Cathay and have since being 22 chosen to fly them in every class and will maintain that habit. Your video is so nicely constructed and your formal English is lovely to hear. I noted no green which is the CX colour which seems to have been deleted form what is clearly an outdated seat design and as you mention flying First Class with no door dates the product. The cabin looks lifeless-in-colour and I note - if correct -that the glassware is not crystal. I am sure all will return once the airline is back on its feet for it has been a dreadful time for Cathay and its team. The lounge touches together with the monogrammed passport wallet is a very lovely touch. You obviously love flight and I like your line that Singapore Airlnes is exciting but Cathay Pacific is home. That is partly because you are from Hong Kong but I feel the same thing having lived and worked in HK for some time. It - to be sure - remains the great carrier of the world together with Qatar and the always impressive glitzy Emirates. Keep enjoy the magic of flight and don't get fat from the pre-departure and on-board offerings. I hope your hangover was containable after the 'endless free fly of Krug' and if not then it was worth enduring. You are right that odd you were not escorted to your seat with jut 3 passengers and even if the cabin was full, an odd non-gentures. But these are tough times and to be sure they are all getting into the groove again after many years of terrific chaos. By the way, the composite shot of you in reflection in the window during the take-off is a lovely and creative touch. J

I sincerely hope that Cathay’s new CEO Godspeed in once again capturing Cathay’s reputation as being a world class airline. 😉👍🏻. Judging from your Christmas experience, it’s well underway. 😉

Cathay as a steep hill to climb given the competition if they are to reclaim being the best of any airline! Even before the pandemic Cathay was going downhill. But in all my F class on Cathay I've never had the flight crew stop by my seat, so that looked great.

Thanks for the video and I’m lucky enough to be making the same flight in 3 weeks time. I’ll make sure to try your red wine.

I Have Not Try Out Cathay Pacific First Class Yet .Great Work

i would love to see cathay return as a top tier airline once again despite the difficulties and trauma they have experienced during and after the pandemic. really happy to see the new ceo's plans. love the video, subbed!

Traveling vicariously with you. Fantastic video on every level!

Great review, thank you for posting. Michelle from Cathay certainly liked you!

Im gonna flight in business with them in September from Sydney, First time with Cathay, and first time in Hong Kong, so Im very excited

Cathay has potential to become the world's best again, it must recapture its 1990's ethos.

The problem with relaunching the airline and First Class in particular is that it cannot ignore the global economic situation. Few companies are going to pay for First in the current environment so that will limit passenger levels. Also where Hong Kong goes and its relationship with the mainland will also help or hinder Cathay’s efforts.

A useful review. It's highly subjective but I like that. Thanks for sharing the experience in such a technically proficient manner! SUBSCRIBED

an awesome DM coronation flight!

really great video !

It’s so great to see Michelle again❤

I am waiting anxiously!

as a Canto speaker born and raised in Guangzhou, I have always had a place in my heart for Cathay. however, over the years, I have witnessed Cathay service and food quality going downhill in both coach and business and I feel super disappointed. not to mention Cathay demands a premium to fly with them - their transpacific routes are consistently priced higher than both their Asian and American counterparts. in the past, that premium was somewhat justified. but not anymore because their peers are not only catching up in terms of hardware, but also in soft products, especially the other asian airlines such as ANA and EVA. I really hope that a) Cathay can once again reclaim the title of one of the best airlines in the world by improving their service and catering; and b) price their tickets appropriately. while I'm hopeful, im not sure if Lam will achieve his ambitious goals. The exchange rate is really not in Cathay's favor - which makes it hard to price their tickets competitively. meanwhile, cathay's finance is devastated because of HK government's/Beijing's overly and unnecessarily strict COVID policy. best of luck to Cathay.

2000 Lynch-Bages is quite the wine to have on a flight.

Enjoyed this review a lot, good job 👌🏽

Great video! I'm curious of what did the Captain gave you haha :D

Great video! I’m glad I found your channel. What was the gift the captain gave you?

Awesome video, one of the best review that I have ever seen

I just flew Cathay Pacific from Shanghai to San Francisco (via HK) in economy. I'm just a pleb. My experience was obviously much worse. The seat in front of me was literally 5 inches away from my face when the passenger using it reclined. I would not recommend Cathay Pacific's economy class at all.

I remember always waning to fly CX first class, but after flying SQ business class this year, I feel CX has work to do. Yes I’d love caviar and Krug, but the experience doesn’t outweigh SQ.

Thank you for sharing your trip...Looking very nice...

Past 3 years have changed my perception on this airline completely. I don’t really care if it’s “home” as you called it, my preference has gone to Singapore, Ethiad, Qatar and Emirates. Maybe Thai if I am going to Thailand.

Bruh, get a better camera.

I hope they will expand First Class offerings to North America.

Another great video Ken 👍

Got to try this airline. Nice review.

Great trip review! Cathay Pacific 👏👏👏

I like your review style

my first airline experience....CATHAY PACIFIC

I saw it well :) good vided

I thought that there was no more Krug for first class in CX?

still fully masked :)))) well done

The captain - he came back to have a word?

The lounge hasn't changed since the last time I was there January 5th 2006. Unless it was re modelled between January 2006 and December 2022. You should have passengers with you on the lounge going to JFK on CX844 which goes back to HKG as CX841 MNL connection CX902. If you are early. If you do HKG-MNL again will you try PR 🇵🇭 the oldest airline in the region predating CX by 5 years or not? Now on Fiesta Class you lose the power plugs underneath the seats as seen on B777-367/ER B-KPx B-LRx A359s and A35ks B-LXx registrations.

I saw him today he was on my flight

I think you can use a new eye glass frame. Aviator make your eye look more saggy

Question, How often you travel per year?

How do you get so many privileges. Please tell!!!

Michelle is so lovely ❤😢

Looks like there was lots of turbulence on the flight

4:30 you should have asked her out.

你坐完SQ , EK and QR就唔會記得因航喇, 相信我啊😛

I’m not a fan of CX and never will be but at least they know how to pamper their most loyal customers like yourself

Great customer service. Loved the tripreport

I like you videoclip thax…..

好奇 用勞工手套整野食？

I am so-o-o sorry you didn't get escorted to your seat. That must really sting. Have you considered asking for compensation?

CX has become so crappy over the past few years. They used to be my first choice. Now it's ANA, Japan Airlines, Korean Air.

You still have Chinese accent😅

Mask? Heck no

I dreamed of the day when I can enjoy this good life 🙏🙏🙏🙏, its on my 🪣🪣 list.

I see where Hong Kong Airport was adding a third runway....has it been finished yet?
