IS CATHAY PACIFIC STILL A GOOD AIRLINE? 

Good

Hi Josh :)

Cathay Pacific is highly rated and one of the most respected airline.

go on cebu

Better than Europe

It’s crap now ….

dude, it sucks, crap, like💩 now, they sometimes skip my Meal either

Cathay Pacific has been and will be the number one airline in the world. Don't compare it to those trash US airlines.

They usually aren’t anymore though…ask their frequent flyers which included myself and most would say they suck now

I personally think they're great

That's really what Cathay is really really good for, it is their service recovery. There are many airlines that offer good onboard services, but not a lot of airline does well when things goes wrong, in fact most do very poorly when things goes wrong, like lost baggage or missed connection or inflight diversion. But Cathay are very good at handling these non-normal cases. I think that's really what sets them apart to many other carriers.

I’ve booked through Cathay from Manchester to Sydney and there is a connecting flight through Hong Kong. Will they take my bag through to the next flight? Thankyou

I recently went to the flight and it was amazing! Comfort, an actual interesting safety video( for me ), and a lot of movies and good food!

@@wowpeter spot on and that's what they were able to do to my mum on her JFK-HKG-PER flight was putting her on the next flight from JFK to PER via HKG in November 2022. Customer support wise I see it as CX > PR. They need their EWR-HKG flight back so that they can compete with EWR-MNL via SIN on SQ which can have a deal of $1100-1200 which should beat the JFK-MNL deal on PR. CX 845 from JFK EWR pre covid 899 does have a 2hr transfer time to the first HKG-MNL flight CX907

Its because there are many flights a day from hongkong to bangkok, and there is surplus seats to put delayed transfer passengers. If there are no flights that day , there is nothing Cathay can do. Sad or happy to say , i am.happy to fly Qantas, British Airways , they pilots are a different kettle of fish and I can be sure they have nerves of steel and never wil they compromise passenger safety.

Come on stop the BS, best service my ass

The Cathay crew being over paid it caused the overhead and over price ticket.

@@PaulFanMingReally? Compare what the CX crew get paid compared to the Europe, US and AUS crews…it’s peanuts….

@@PaulFanMingHow are they overpaid? They get base paid 1.2k usd when they newly join and ONLY 1.5k usd after 10years. Do u know how expensive it is to live in Hong Kong? Just because u overpaid the ticket doesn't mean it will go to the front line staffs.

Indeed, not overpaid. Crumbs from the emperor syndrome ​@@valorant846

Because HK-north America market recover much faster than the HK-North American flight capacity CX cap now like 50% pre Pandemic Only AC YVR and UA SFO returned AC YYZ UA ORD EWR SQ SFO not return yet

Written like a true airline ticketing agent!!! Couldn't help but laugh!!!

@@chungchoso6490 Also Siberia airspace. Cathay is the only carrier that flies direct from Hong Kong to the East Coast, with United only joining in October with direct to NJ (but no one wants to go to Jersey).

Back in 2018, the "soft" product (food etc) was seriously bad. Flew Cathay recently and they seem to be trying harder, which is nice to see.

lufthansa has orders in for it too!

Phillipine airlines (PAL) have plans to order -1000 too so the list gets bigger

@@userowski. maybe cebu pacific aswell

@@userowski. Yeah! I saw about the PAL plans, so hopefully we see some official confirmation come through soon. The 350-1000 is bound to become ever more popular.

Starlux have 8 on order too

congrats!

@@user-dy9ri2xe7r Thank you

I agree, crew is worse now and the food tastes like 💩

Cathay Pacific is still incredibly better than US flag carriers.

@@hommagat2587yes… they even skipped my meal

@@hommagat2587i think the crew should serve Skibidi Toilets if they skip my meal again

And finally, in 2024, CX is getting better with good food and service😮‍💨 Criticism does work and makes things better

I guess you are white? This airline is definitely the most racist airline, they discriminate against everyone except whites and Hongkongers, including blacks, Indians, Chinese, Taiwanese, Filipinos, Malaysians and Koreans

They aren’t anymore though. I fly them a lot and Josh was lucky.

I wish my CX flight had the 3-3-3 configuration. The flight I took this august from LAX to HKG was on a 3-4-3 configured 777-300ER, and it was quite cramped. On the way back, I flew on China Southern’s 777-300ER, and that had the nice and roomy 3-3-3 configuration.

You have a low bar

Your standards are way too high. Cathay's great.

CX cmi

This airline is definitely the most racist airline, they discriminate against everyone except whites and Hongkongers, including blacks, Indians, Chinese, Taiwanese, Filipinos, Malaysians and Koreans

Yeah, Donald Trump is very anti-China

What did they think would happen when the “Brits” left?

also air India is getting the a350-1000 in the next few years

doesn’t understand why the riots start…… 😅Hong Kong didn’t really change much under the administration of the Chinese government. actually, the power of autonomy in hk, as a special administrative region in china, basically means they still act individually and not so much affected by the mainland.

@@user-dy9ri2xe7r Ask the people of Hong Kong individually in the streets and you’ll understand your interpretation is completely wrong.

What happened? Were the flight attendants rude to you? If so, can you expand on it? Thank you 🙏

@@RealKingkong9888a whole year late but personally I have things to say. I did 2 long haul flights on a round trip to London. On the first one, I sat in economy. Staff hardly came by to check on us and it took them more than half an hour to respond to service calls. I had to flag them down to get service because they were straight up ignoring the lights even when they were walking by. I tried to order their complimentary noodles and egg tarts - this took basically a whole hour, and I never actually got the one I ordered. They just came by with a bunch all at once asking if anyone wanted them. Essentially, they probably didn’t want to bother serving passengers one by one but instead of just telling me they would likely just bring a batch out all at once, they just brushed me off and never came back. I mentioned it to the staff that ended up bringing the tarts around, and she just brushed it off once again. The second time around, the company was going through some staffing issues so they cancelled my flight and rescheduled me to another one. I ended up getting a free upgrade to premium economy, but I wish I didn’t because then I faced the most atrocious service ever AND had to watch them actually treat the other passengers around me with respect. I’m not sure if they could tell I didn’t belong there and only got there with an upgrade I never even asked for. I also considered that maybe it was also because I’m not white (the passengers around me were) since the airline has had controversies with their discriminatory and lowkey white supremacist staff who were caught in 4k ridiculing Chinese passengers for not speaking English. But then again, if we wanted to compare our proximity to whiteness, between me and that flight attendant, I have the better accent so maybe not lol. Also, the seats were bigger, but you’d still struggle to get out if the person if the person in front reclines like a lunatic and the person next to you is a big man who sleeps like a log for the entire 10+ hour flight, you can’t get out to go to the bathroom (speaking from experience). Attendants once again barely came by which sucked because I struggled to open my water bottle and felt dehydrated as fuck, but no one ever came by until breakfast was served so I couldn’t even get a drink for like 5 hours. Fun times. Never again. It’s not always like that. I recall the service was still passable in 2023. And in my premium economy experience, the FA on the other aisle was considerably nicer and more attentive. As I said, the company is going through major issues because of high turnover, strikes, etc. so you can’t expect it to be consistently good. I just don’t want to pay a premium for service that’s not guaranteed, but maybe that’s just me.

Well no sh*t. HK is part of the PRC

Jal will get their a350-1000s in the future. Currently, Jal only operate the -900 variant of the A350 on their domestic network.

@@hhpaviation8106 you are right the first a350-1000 is still in France looks like JAL will receive it soon

@@hhpaviation8106 JAL is getting their first one this winter or at least it’s estimated to be by then

it's only a charter for expat workers going to the middle East. I don't think anyone is purposely choosing to fly with cebu international. domesticallt they are a good airline though

Lol somehow it’s true😂😂
