The best seats on Cathay Pacific CX140, operated on a Boeing 777-300ER, are the premium economy bulkhead seats, particularly row 11, which offers extra legroom and a larger footwell.
Premium Economy Seats
- Row 11 (bulkhead) provides the most legroom and a wider sleeping surface, ideal for long-haul comfort.
- The seat configuration is 2-4-2, with 48 seats in total, offering more personal space than standard economy.
- The seats feature grey and beige faux leather finishes, with a sleek, understated design.
Business Class Seats
- The forward business class cabin has 12 seats in a 1-2-1 layout (rows 11–14), offering greater privacy and less foot traffic.
- Bulkhead seats (rows 11 and 15) are preferred for extra space, but row 11 is better as it’s not near the lavatories. 🔗
- The seat includes a full lie-flat bed, personal IFE screen, universal outlet, USB ports, and a privacy divider.🔗
First Class Seats
- First class is only available on select 777-300ERs, with six 1-1-1 configured seats.
- These seats are angled away from the aisle, offering a spacious, non-claustrophobic feel. 🔗
- The bed is wide and well-padded, with high-end bedding and a full meal service.🔗

Review: Cathay Pacific New 777 Premium Economy (HKG-LHR)
| THE ALVIATOR'S VERDICT Cathay Pacific has an industry-leading premium economy seat with good tech and storage, though the soft product wasn't as polished as I was expecting for a premium economy product, and had some missed opportunities | 4.5 | In September 2025, I flew Cathay Pacific’s new 777 premium economy class from Hong Kong to London Heathrow. Cathay Pacific introduced new business class and premium economy seats in 2024, and they started flying longhaul on select routes earlier this year. I’ve always seen Cathay Pacific’s current A350 seat as one of the best in the industry, so

Review: Singapore Airlines Business Class 777 Frankfurt to Singapore
You may have read my last post on the flight from New York (JFK) to Frankfurt (FRA). This was the second leg of the journey. I flew from New York (JFK) to Singapore (SIN) via Frankfurt. Singapore Airlines offers a flight that stops in Frankfurt, picks up some passengers, and the same aircraft continues on to Singapore. My review is a bit delayed, as this was from my May 2025 trip. But, better late than never! As mentioned in the last post, I booked this flight with Air Canada Aeroplan Points. I reserved my flight about 355 in advance

Review: Singapore Airlines Business Class Airbus A350 (KUL-SIN)
For the next segment of my Iceland to The Residence via Cambodia trip, it was time to fly Singapore Airlines’ Airbus A350-900 business class on the 50-minute flight from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to Singapore (SIN). At 184 miles, this is Singapore Airlines’ shortest route, and it’s always impressive to see what a high service standard the airline offers even on short hops like this. As you’d expect, this was an excellent flight, with flat beds, great entertainment and Wi-Fi, friendly service, and pretty good food. There’s not an airline that’s more consistent when it comes to service than Singapore

Review: Air France Business Class for 60k points – 777 Long-Haul and A320 Intra-EU
My return journey from Vatican City and Rome (FCO) was booked in Air France Business Class via Paris (CDG), costing 60,000 Flying Blue miles. By leveraging a 25% transfer bonus from U.S. Amex Membership Rewards, the effective cost came down to 48,000 MR points, plus approximately $400 CAD in taxes and fees, which I offset with my Scotiabank Gold American Express Card. This redemption stood out particularly when compared to Air Canada’s dynamic pricing, which had direct flights priced well north of 200k Aeroplan points. With Canadian Amex Membership Rewards now also transferring to Flying Blue at a 1:1.25 ratio,

American Airlines 777 Tokyo-DFW Business Class Review (2018)
My American Airlines 777 Tokyo-DFW business class review was part of my work trip to Japan. Traveling with coworkers is always interesting, especially if they are not frequent travelers. After three days in Japan for client meetings and some touristy activities, we flew back in business class via DFW. After my coworkers’ first business class flight on our way to Japan, I wondered what they would think on their second one. My team and I had spent the better part of the day touristing around Tokyo. I decided to spend some time near Ginza and visit the statute of

Review: Aircalin Business Class Airbus A330neo (CDG-BKK)
For the next segment of my exotic journey to Bangkok via Paris, I flew Aircalin’s Airbus A330-900neo business class (often branded as Business Hibiscus) on the 11hr5min flight from Paris (CDG) to Bangkok (BKK). I was ridiculously excited about this flight, which is something that only fellow aviation geeks may appreciate. I’ve been wanting to fly with Aircalin, the flag carrier of New Caledonia (a French overseas territory) for as long as I can remember. Currently the airline operates a route from Noumea (NOU) to Paris (CDG) via Bangkok (BKK), and the airline can transport passengers exclusively between
