Cathay Pacific Airways

My son was very sick in the airport from sitting waiting in the airport for 9 hours and I told your staff on the airport that my son has a medical condition and did not care. He has one functioning kidney and had being waiting to get our suitcade to get his medication. Someone should have made a decision earlier and not let passengers wait this long. You put my family in hotel now and miss our flight Absolutely ridiculous and miss our on our accommodation in Hong Kong. Never again. We understand that mechanical problem do arise at tine b...Read more

Recently flew return Melbourne to Barcelona. Haven't flown Cathay Pacific before and probably wont rush back to them again. There was nothing particularly bad about them, but everything just felt very average... apart from a very helpful gentleman at Melb who helped me with my self check-in, no other Cathay pacific employees seemed particularly friendly or enthusiastic.... Cabin crew certainly did not go out of their way to offer more than the bare minimum in service. I've always previously been offered drinks/snacks on more than one occasio...Read more

Flew from Perth to Vancouver via Hong Kong 21 hours. Then New York to Perth via Hong Kong 24 hours flying time. Both legs in Premium Economy which just for the comfort is worth the extra money.
Great entertainment and large selection of movies etc.
The food was pretty average with the same menu as Economy although you are served first so there is always a choice.
Staff were not to be seen until food was about to be served and were never offered more drinks after the initial service. It was possible to request more by pressing the call button or...Read more

I recently travelled Cathay Pacific out of Hong Kong to Sydney, I used points to book the flight on Cathay's business class product, and what an amazing experience it was! The aircraft was very clean and the seat, wow! I wish I could travel like this all the time! I was able to sleep part of the trip on the lie flat bed which made the journey a lot more relaxing, I decided to select a window seat 14K at check in as I was originally assigned 18D which in one of two middle seats. The seat was very private and even though the cabin looked to be fu...Read more

Being a frequent traveller domestically and internationally, I've got admit that I had never received such an impolite, appalling and abusive customer service from the Check In counter of an airline. Not to say that Japanese was famous for their superior customer service manner.

We're told that our baggages were 19 kilos over our combined baggage allowances. Well, we're over ..we're over...Nothing shall be denied about that and that's why we choose to use our Asia Miles to cover the extra weights.

But we were told that we were still about 1...Read more

Head and Leg room is an issue for tall people. As my husband is 2m tall (6ft 6in) we tried to book early to get extra leg room but were advised that it would cost a considerable amount extra. We were unsuccessful in getting a preferred seat during online early checkin. Do wheelchair passengers or people with babies have to pay more for the extra legroom seats?
He had his legs spread apart and knee between front seats (see photo) and was unable to move for many hours. When the passenger in the seat in front reclined his seat it crushed his kne...Read more

Unfortunately there is not a lot of nice things to say about Cathay Pacific but I will start with the pros:

Pros:
- Leg room was ok
- Hotel provided on missed connection was very nice (Expect missed connections!!)

Now lets get started with the cons and the reasons I will never fly with this Airline again:

Cons:
- Every single flight we had with Cathay was delayed, whilst some were due to weather and outside of their control, we can't believe that 4 delayed flights and 2 missed connections were all outside of there control and suspect over-scheduling and poor management must be at play as we were amongst many people with the same story....Read more
