One of <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2020\/06\/15\/best-airlines-first-class\/\">my favorite longhaul First Class products in the world<\/a> is offered by Hong Kong&#8217;s flag carrier <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cathaypacific.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cathay Pacific<\/a>. Not only is the airline&#8217;s First Class product incredibly consistent, but it&#8217;s also one of the few airlines that scores nearly perfect in all premium inflight categories (think plush bedding and pillows, fine dining options and sublime new amenity kits). Here are 10 reasons why I love flying onboard Cathay Pacific&#8217;s exclusive First Class cabin.<\/p>\n<p>I made a YouTube clip of my recent First Class flight with Cathay Pacific, which you can watch below (or you can read my detailed trip report <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2020\/06\/24\/review-cathay-pacific-first-class\/\">here<\/a>).

EXCLUSIVE CABIN ONBOARD THE BOEING 777-300ER<\/h5>\n<p>As of today, Cathay Pacific\u2019s aircraft fleet comprises 28 Airbus A330s, 36 Airbus A350s, and 68 Boeing 777s, making it the world&#8217;s 3rd largest operator of the Boeing 777 (behind Emirates and United Airlines). The carrier&#8217;s intimate First Class cabin, which features 6 seats in a private 1-1-1 layout, is only installed on a select number of Boeing 777-300ER aircraft (31 in total). The Boeing 777, one of my favorite aircraft types, is the largest twin-egine aircraft and has received more orders than any other wide-body airliner. In the 1990s, Cathay Pacific was one of a handful of airlines to provide input for the 777 at the design stage, which gave Hong Kong\u2019s home airline a unique opportunity to refine the aircraft\u2019s features to suit its needs. Among the requests were a cabin cross-section similar to the 747 Jumbo Jet, a modern \u2018glass\u2019 cockpit, fly-by-wire system, and, crucially, lower operating costs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/EXCLUSIVE-BOEING-777-300ER-FIRST-CLASS-CABIN.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"245862\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2020\/06\/22\/top-10-reasons-why-i-love-flying-cathay-pacific-first-class\/exclusive-boeing-777-300er-first-class-cabin\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/EXCLUSIVE-BOEING-777-300ER-FIRST-CLASS-CABIN.jpg?fit=970%2C546&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"970,546\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"EXCLUSIVE CABIN ONBOARD THE BOEING 777-300ER\u00a0\u00a0\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;EXCLUSIVE CABIN ONBOARD THE BOEING 777-300ER\u00a0\u00a0&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;EXCLUSIVE CABIN ONBOARD THE BOEING 777-300ER\u00a0\u00a0&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/EXCLUSIVE-BOEING-777-300ER-FIRST-CLASS-CABIN.jpg?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/EXCLUSIVE-BOEING-777-300ER-FIRST-CLASS-CABIN.jpg?fit=970%2C546&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-245862 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/EXCLUSIVE-BOEING-777-300ER-FIRST-CLASS-CABIN.jpg?resize=678%2C382&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"cathay pacific first class\" width=\"678\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/EXCLUSIVE-BOEING-777-300ER-FIRST-CLASS-CABIN.jpg?w=970&amp;ssl=1 970w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/EXCLUSIVE-BOEING-777-300ER-FIRST-CLASS-CABIN.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/EXCLUSIVE-BOEING-777-300ER-FIRST-CLASS-CABIN.jpg?resize=200%2C113&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/EXCLUSIVE-BOEING-777-300ER-FIRST-CLASS-CABIN.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/EXCLUSIVE-BOEING-777-300ER-FIRST-CLASS-CABIN.jpg?resize=678%2C381&amp;ssl=1 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h5><strong>9.

Other member airlines include American Airlines, British Airways, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, LATAM Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Qantas, Qatar Airlines, Royal Jordanian, S7 Airlines and SriLankan Airlines. That means it is quite easy to book a complimentary Cathay Pacific First Class award ticket using miles you collect with one of the Oneworld airline&#8217;s frequent flyer programs, although some methods represent a far better use of miles than others (best options are <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2018\/01\/19\/review-aadvantage\/\">AAdvantage<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2019\/05\/24\/review-british-airways-executive-club\/\">Excutive Club<\/a>, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2018\/03\/16\/review-mileage-plan-alaska-airline\/\">Mileage Plan<\/a>). While Cathay Pacific isn\u2019t quite as generous about releasing First Class award space as in the past, the carrier&#8217;s award availability is still really good, especially for last minute tickets (typically about two weeks prior to departure, Cathay Pacific will open all but three First Class seats for awards).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/FREE-FIRST-CLASS-TICKET-WITH-ONEWORLD-MILES.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"245863\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2020\/06\/22\/top-10-reasons-why-i-love-flying-cathay-pacific-first-class\/free-first-class-ticket-with-oneworld-miles\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/FREE-FIRST-CLASS-TICKET-WITH-ONEWORLD-MILES.jpg?fit=970%2C546&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"970,546\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1583086446&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;19.131&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.05&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"FREE FIRST CLASS TICKET WITH ONEWORLD MILES\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;FREE FIRST CLASS TICKET WITH ONEWORLD MILES&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;FREE FIRST CLASS TICKET WITH ONEWORLD MILES&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/FREE-FIRST-CLASS-TICKET-WITH-ONEWORLD-MILES.jpg?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/FREE-FIRST-CLASS-TICKET-WITH-ONEWORLD-MILES.jpg?fit=970%2C546&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-245863 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/FREE-FIRST-CLASS-TICKET-WITH-ONEWORLD-MILES.jpg?resize=678%2C382&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"cathay pacific first class\" width=\"678\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/FREE-FIRST-CLASS-TICKET-WITH-ONEWORLD-MILES.jpg?w=970&amp;ssl=1 970w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/FREE-FIRST-CLASS-TICKET-WITH-ONEWORLD-MILES.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/FREE-FIRST-CLASS-TICKET-WITH-ONEWORLD-MILES.jpg?resize=200%2C113&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/FREE-FIRST-CLASS-TICKET-WITH-ONEWORLD-MILES.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/FREE-FIRST-CLASS-TICKET-WITH-ONEWORLD-MILES.jpg?resize=678%2C381&amp;ssl=1 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h5><strong>8.

To stay productive and connected throughout the flight, passengers can take advantage of complimentary WiFi in First Class, which is being progressively rolled out across the carrier&#8217;s Boeing 777 and Airbus A330 aircraft (Cathay Pacific&#8217;s A350s are already equipped with WiFi). First class passengers are given a voucher for the free WiFi upon boarding on eligible flights. Cathay Pacific&#8217;s WiFi is of excellent quality and reasonably fast, as the airline adopts Gogo\u2019s 2Ku satellite-based broadband inflight connectivity technology.

HONG KONG AIRPORT<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Cathay Pacific uses Hong Kong Airport as its base, one of <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2017\/09\/11\/top-10-best-airports-world\/\">my favorite airports in the world<\/a>. Built on an artificial island just off Lantau Island in the west of Hong Kong and designed by the acclaimed British architect Sir Norman Foster, the airport is located within five hours flying time from half the world\u2019s population. With its soaring spaces, bathed in daylight, the terminal building forms a spectacular gateway to the city. Whether arriving or departing, routes are legible and orientation is simple: you are aware of the land on one side and the water on the other and you can see the aircraft. Similarly, the vaulted roof provides a constant reference point as you move to or from your aircraft. Besides advanced infrastructure, the airport also offers world-class entertainment, such as an IMAX theatre, a state-of-the-art virtual golf simulator, and an impressive selection of restaurants.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/HONG-KONG-AIRPORT.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"245866\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2020\/06\/22\/top-10-reasons-why-i-love-flying-cathay-pacific-first-class\/hong-kong-airport\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/HONG-KONG-AIRPORT.jpg?fit=970%2C546&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"970,546\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"HONG KONG AIRPORT\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;HONG KONG AIRPORT&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;HONG KONG AIRPORT&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/HONG-KONG-AIRPORT.jpg?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/HONG-KONG-AIRPORT.jpg?fit=970%2C546&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-245866 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/HONG-KONG-AIRPORT.jpg?resize=678%2C382&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"cathay pacific first class\" width=\"678\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/HONG-KONG-AIRPORT.jpg?w=970&amp;ssl=1 970w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/HONG-KONG-AIRPORT.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/HONG-KONG-AIRPORT.jpg?resize=200%2C113&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/HONG-KONG-AIRPORT.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/HONG-KONG-AIRPORT.jpg?resize=678%2C381&amp;ssl=1 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h5><strong>6.

STOP-OVER IN HONG KONG<\/h5>\n<p>Hong Kong, the hub of Cathay Pacific, is a pleasant stopover spot on any trip with the airline. Comprising pristine countryside and mountains, and with a metropolitan epicenter featuring the world\u2019s largest number of skyscrapers, Hong Kong\u2019s fusion of urban and natural landscape has the kind of visual appeal that hooks you from the get-go. From shopping to bar-hopping, Hong Kong\u2019s pleasures are world-class and plentiful \u2013 not least for the famous breadth of cuisine, ranging from local classics like dim sum<i>,<\/i> wonton noodles and pineapple buns, to Michelin-star offerings. But this is not all. Hong Kong also offers abundant opportunities for hiking, cycling, surfing, camping, and dragon boat racing, often not more than an hour away from busy downtown areas. Trips to beaches, mountains, and outlying islands are rendered seamless by efficient transport links, from an excellent metro system to buses, ferries, minibuses, and a 110-year-old tram service nicknamed \u2018Ding Ding\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/STOP-OVER-IN-HONG-KONG.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"245869\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2020\/06\/22\/top-10-reasons-why-i-love-flying-cathay-pacific-first-class\/stop-over-in-hong-kong\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/STOP-OVER-IN-HONG-KONG.jpg?fit=970%2C545&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"970,545\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"STOP-OVER IN HONG KONG\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;STOP-OVER IN HONG KONG&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;STOP-OVER IN HONG KONG&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/STOP-OVER-IN-HONG-KONG.jpg?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/STOP-OVER-IN-HONG-KONG.jpg?fit=970%2C545&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-245869 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/STOP-OVER-IN-HONG-KONG.jpg?resize=678%2C381&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"678\" height=\"381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/STOP-OVER-IN-HONG-KONG.jpg?w=970&amp;ssl=1 970w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/STOP-OVER-IN-HONG-KONG.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/STOP-OVER-IN-HONG-KONG.jpg?resize=200%2C112&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/STOP-OVER-IN-HONG-KONG.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/STOP-OVER-IN-HONG-KONG.jpg?resize=678%2C381&amp;ssl=1 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h5><strong>4.

There&#8217;s always a selection of international favorites, contemporary wellness options, and Hong Kong classics. Passengers can enjoy in-flight meals at whatever time suits them best \u2013 when they&#8217;re ready to dine, they simply place an order with the cabin crew. The carrier also regularly partners with Michelin-starred chefs from renowned restaurants around the world (such as <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">Tosca, the Italian restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">) to develop First Class menus. Cathay Pacific has also filled its award-winning onboard cellar with a selection of top Champagne cuve\u00e9s, prestigious vintages, spirits and Betsy beer. To round off any dining experience, gourmet desserts, fine cheeses, freshly brewed coffee, and handmade pralines are served.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DELICIOUS-ONBOARD-CATERING-INCLUDING-CAVIAR-SERVICE.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"245860\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2020\/06\/22\/top-10-reasons-why-i-love-flying-cathay-pacific-first-class\/usage-all-media-worldwideexpiry-date-16-jul-24\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DELICIOUS-ONBOARD-CATERING-INCLUDING-CAVIAR-SERVICE.jpg?fit=970%2C546&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"970,546\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 5D Mark III&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Usage: All media worldwide\\n\\nExpiry date: 16 Jul 24&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1563294772&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;2000&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.004&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Usage: All media worldwide\\n\\nExpiry date: 16 Jul 24&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DELICIOUS ONBOARD CATERING, INCLUDING CAVIAR SERVICE\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;DELICIOUS ONBOARD CATERING, INCLUDING CAVIAR SERVICE&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;DELICIOUS ONBOARD CATERING, INCLUDING CAVIAR SERVICE&lt;br \/&gt;\nExpiry date: 16 Jul 24&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DELICIOUS-ONBOARD-CATERING-INCLUDING-CAVIAR-SERVICE.jpg?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DELICIOUS-ONBOARD-CATERING-INCLUDING-CAVIAR-SERVICE.jpg?fit=970%2C546&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-245860 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DELICIOUS-ONBOARD-CATERING-INCLUDING-CAVIAR-SERVICE.jpg?resize=678%2C382&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"cathay pacific first class\" width=\"678\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DELICIOUS-ONBOARD-CATERING-INCLUDING-CAVIAR-SERVICE.jpg?w=970&amp;ssl=1 970w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DELICIOUS-ONBOARD-CATERING-INCLUDING-CAVIAR-SERVICE.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DELICIOUS-ONBOARD-CATERING-INCLUDING-CAVIAR-SERVICE.jpg?resize=200%2C113&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DELICIOUS-ONBOARD-CATERING-INCLUDING-CAVIAR-SERVICE.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DELICIOUS-ONBOARD-CATERING-INCLUDING-CAVIAR-SERVICE.jpg?resize=678%2C381&amp;ssl=1 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h5><strong>2. THE WIDEST FIRST-CLASS SEAT IN THE INDUSTRY<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Once onboard, passengers can experience the tasteful luxury of Cathay Pacific&#8217;s First Class suite, which is padded with soft leather and comfortable fabrics. At first sight, the spacious suite may seem a little underwhelming and visually less impressive when compared to some of Cathay Pacific&#8217;s competitors: the cabin has an open layout (there are no sliding doors, like on <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2018\/12\/19\/review-emirates-b777-first-class\/\">Emirates<\/a>) and the suites don&#8217;t feature a separate bed &amp; seat configuration (like on <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2020\/04\/29\/review-etihad-airways-a380-first-class\/\">Etihad Airways<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2018\/09\/12\/review-singapore-airlines-a380-first-class\/\">Singapore Airlines<\/a>). However, although it isn&#8217;t one of the industry&#8217;s newest or most flashy First Class seats, I count Cathay Pacific&#8217;s double-wide seat still as the best designed First Class seat in the sky: it is plush, luxurious and very comfortable upright, semi-reclined, or in lie-flat mode. The seat can be easily adjusted by a\u00a0 touchscreen controller, and passengers can even enjoy in-chair massages.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/THE-WIDEST-FIRST-CLASS-SEAT-IN-THE-INDUSTRY-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"245897\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2020\/06\/22\/top-10-reasons-why-i-love-flying-cathay-pacific-first-class\/the-widest-first-class-seat-in-the-industry-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/THE-WIDEST-FIRST-CLASS-SEAT-IN-THE-INDUSTRY-1.jpg?fit=970%2C546&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"970,546\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;11&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 5D Mark II&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1374723264&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;17&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"THE WIDEST FIRST-CLASS SEAT IN THE INDUSTRY\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/THE-WIDEST-FIRST-CLASS-SEAT-IN-THE-INDUSTRY-1.jpg?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/THE-WIDEST-FIRST-CLASS-SEAT-IN-THE-INDUSTRY-1.jpg?fit=970%2C546&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-245897\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/THE-WIDEST-FIRST-CLASS-SEAT-IN-THE-INDUSTRY-1.jpg?resize=678%2C382&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"678\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/THE-WIDEST-FIRST-CLASS-SEAT-IN-THE-INDUSTRY-1.jpg?w=970&amp;ssl=1 970w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/THE-WIDEST-FIRST-CLASS-SEAT-IN-THE-INDUSTRY-1.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/THE-WIDEST-FIRST-CLASS-SEAT-IN-THE-INDUSTRY-1.jpg?resize=200%2C113&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/THE-WIDEST-FIRST-CLASS-SEAT-IN-THE-INDUSTRY-1.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/turkeyalwan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/THE-WIDEST-FIRST-CLASS-SEAT-IN-THE-INDUSTRY-1.jpg?resize=678%2C381&amp;ssl=1 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h5><strong>1.
