Cathay Pacific’s New 777 Economy Class: Surprisingly Delightful
After flying from London to Hong Kong in Cathay Pacific’s A350 economy class, I flew down to Sydney in Cathay Pacific’s new 777 economy class. We could’ve flown an earlier flight down to Sydney, though I decided to brute force a longer layover in Hong Kong. Why? Mainly, my family had newly adopted some kittens, so J and I went landside and introduced ourselves to them. The secondary motive was so that I could review Cathay Pacific’s “new” 777 economy class. In September I flew Cathay Pacific’s flagship 777 Aria Suite, as well as their new premium economy class.
