There was a time when Cathay Pacific were heading toward extinction like Pan Am to deliver a viable product, but they have upped their game in the last decade to compete with the likes of SIA, Emirates, Thai and Qatar Airways in the lucrative Europe/America to Asia market and now deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as those airlines.
I have been a worldwide first class frequent traveler (including Concorde) for more than 40 years. I can say, in my opinion, Cathay’s intercontinental first class is the best in the world. It’s not just the extra wide seats, the premium pajamas, the wonderful food, beautiful china and flatware, but it’s the consistently impeccable service. Their first class is not garish with gold-plated this and that instead it’s functional British Hong Kong-influenced luxury and class. Think of it as a Rolls Royce compared to Bentley.

Ben Rawstron My best advice is to try many different things until you find something you really love doing.
Rolls Royce compared to a Bentley. Great comparison.
I've been binge watching your content Dan! I haven't flown in 7 years due to an immense fear in an an emergency landing from EMA to PRA. However I watch others who do this, and they seem to brag their riches. You don't. You're so down to earth and kind. I'm pushing myself and going to get back on a plane this year!!! Thank you ❤️❤️
Amy's Angel Guidance Just dont fly a low cost carrier unless you absolutely have too. I am not talking about regional jets i mean spirit, frontier, ryanair, they are just pure shit.
The Boeing Kid is that the safety or the hospitality or both 😂 can you recommend one for me? I'm in the UK :) xx
I recommend Flybe, Thomas Cook and TUI
Speedbird578 tui is german and flybe is low cost
Amy's Angel Guidance if flying close or far fly british airways if for also choose virgin atlantic or if u say are flying to a country like france choose their main airline like air france or poland choose lot polish airlines etc
It is a great product! I recently flew LHR to HKG in CX F and I had my best sleep in flight. That bed is so wide and comfortable, almost like at home! And the PJs and slippers are soft and comfy too, not to mention the incredible service from the crew. The food was very good, but not the most beautifully presented though. I thought they would have hot canapés with the welcome drink, but no. Yes, I would love to fly them in F again!
I like the new Singapore First Class Suites
Thanks. Reminded me of an upgrade to first on a triple seven after a grueling 23 days in Korea and Japan working some new supply agreements. I was offered the upgrade at Narita to SFO for very few miles, which I had piled up in excess. I still remember that first lay flat bed, I really loved it.
If I’m having a bad day, watching one of your vlogs cheers me right up - keep on flying, non stop!
When the Nukes go off down here, Dan will be safely sleeping thousands of miles up. Blissfully unaware. 👍
😂😂😂
Love Cathay! I flew on their A350 in economy and never felt so refreshed after an 11 hour flight from Manchester, cabin altitude certainly makes a huge difference and their new economy seats had an amazing recline.
Him: they have caviar
Me: they have a drinks trolley going down the aisle
I once had a chance to take the Cathay Pacific first class from Chicago to Hong Kong and their bed has utmost comfort across the airline industry! But I also would like to see them upgrading the First class and Business class to stay competitive in the industry. A sliding door, combining 2 first class seats into 1 gigantic bed, better food options would be a great addition to the already fabulous First and Business class! Nice review.
Looking forward to the new CX first class seats on the 777-9! I wonder what CX'll come up with. Probably not as spacious than an SQ A380 F suite, although to be fair it's pretty much impossible to waste more space than SQ.
I can't verbalize how useful and friendly I find this channel
If you weren’t so tall, I’d refer to you as the Little Prince. You looked like you belonged in first class, on a big throne yet. Most of your food looked good apart from that dry looking salad, that needed noodles and a sauce! It’s those nuances that people from other cultures can miss from time to time. Cathay Pacific is fabulous but it’s these little things that make a difference. When I fly on different international airlines I always pick their national food rather than the Western option so that the food seems better and if anything is amiss, I don’t know. Glad you had a great time and I hope the rest if this journey goes as well as this leg. Cheers, Colin
The juice cocktail is like AMAZING!!!
Looks like it would have been good with vodka to put you to sleep on a long flight!
I love your genuine excitement. Even more important is that your reviews are objective. I like you mentioning not just how nice it is but also what is lacking. Finally someone who knows how to use utensils:))
Looks amazing. Great review Dan.
Loved your thoroughness in all of your vlogs and reviews! And love that you are so active with chatting with your fans on IG (lol again on the imposter trying to get an upgrade using your name!)
Going to Majorca in a couple of days, came across this channel just at the perfect time!
Another amazing video by Dan. Huge thanks for your hard work and for sharing!
Amazing review! Can’t wait until economy week! Love the vids Dan!
1st course salad looks so fresh!😋
Yes! I was waited for this! I love your videos!
Been waiting for this, thanks Dan!
Hey there Nonstop Dan! I suggest that the next place you should be visiting is Kerala,India. It's full of greenery. If you are going to visit Kerala, please post a video on that. I hope you reply..Thank You!
Huge improvement between this and your last business class flight on Cathay.
Have been waiting for this since the first part!!!
i LOVE that you always get the veg food options and show them to so many people. that’s definitely what makes me prefer this channel over other similar ones! 🙌🏻
summer colds are the worst...take care of yourself
All of those plated meals looked incredible!!!
That's it Dan, you're taking me with you the next time you fly on First Class. I hope if you can make a video on Air Canada Executive First Class on your next trip report.
Wow! I looove that you can do these routes! 😊🤪 Another great vid Dan 😍
Really liked this one
Another great video from a great vlogger.... Dan the man😀
Stunning review. Looked like an amazing flight. Very jealous.
the thumbnail alone gives me enough reason to like this video 😂😋
One thing missing, electric/automatic window blinds 😏
Andrew Leong A bit like Swissair.
Best reply of the year ^^^
GamingForLife! Legit
Awesome report as always!
You flew CX & didn't sample their signature beer??!?!!??!
ClaytonTheCruton he drinks mocktails for God’s sakes! On a first class flight!
Alcohol is really bad for jetlag and a lot of aviation bloggers don't drink any/much alcohol on flights!
Maybe he doesn't hate animals, don't get triggered.
Watching your face light up when onboard is so lovely aha!
@5:03 - I didn't know they still serve steel cutlery on airplanes. I haven't seen that since I was a kid.
Hi Dan , I'm your non-stop fan
Omg first you were watching call me by your name and now lady bird ahhhh both of my favorite movies everrrrr btw just discovered your channel and I love it!
Swedens best flightreporter!
Like the new site.... Comprehensive review as always. Will be interested to hear what you have to say, not so much about the Cathay Pacific service to TLV, but more about your impressions of the security at BG, since there are so many horror stories running around about security at different airports.
Seat was incredible! OMG! Of course my sister would love the vegan menu you had....me, not so much. Good review. Looking forward to Economy week!
When is the etihad Singapore comparison coming???
Great video Dan! Huge fan! (Also I subscribed to your new wing view channel!)
I watch your reviews but I don't click "like" because i've missed out on seeing the real food.
you remind me of tom hanks in the movie BIG. no offence meant at all but a geeky kid with a big smile. well done
He should've eaten those baby corns a certain way... ;)
The Worlds best First Class Bed, is the one that I rest my head upon.
Finally someone who doesn't order caviar on a first class flight😂
Im traveling Emirates first class next year as my 70th birthday treat to myself, i want to have caviar i have never tried it before so dont know what to expect, i also want to book the cook, its my only chance as it will never happen again, i wonder if the ones that order caviar are like me with a once in a life time experience
@@caropapa Caviar is so overrated. It's not bad, but if it was cheep. people wouldn't care. It's like salmon, 100 years ago it was the the poormans fish, Nobody with money wouldn't even dream about eating it.
@@kareem8533 I was about to say the same thing about caviar. If it was cheap, I also believe that people wouldn't care.
Do you like Indian food? If so, I would suggest you order the Asian Vegetarian Meal (AVML). The regular VGML - Vegetarian (or ORML - Oriental Vegetarian) options look a bit bland.
Du är den bästa RUclipsrn
Nice video that was such a great experience :)
Thanks for sharing. As a res agent, it's always nice to see what our partner airline perks are!
Dude where is the amenities kit and the lavatory? Your video is incomplete and rushed. You should do better.
You should do like Business and First Class week!
Yes, the length was perfect! :)
That is so cold 🤩
Hey dan, it seems that you occasionally make stopovers in Hong Kong, but I have never seen you paying a visit to this city. Why don’t give it a try? Hong Kong is an interesting place that’s worth visiting. PS from hk :)
Dan I’m new to your channel & its impressive.. You may have been asked this in the past, but how tall are you? I’m 6’2 & it can be uncomfortable w/seats. Its been many moons since I’ve been on an airplane. American Airlines was the worst. Delta was the best.. I live in America & your videos are educational/entertaining. It’s great to hear a brief description/history of each airport. Again well done..👍👍
I cannot go on a Cathay Pacific flight without asking for a Cup Noodles. I wonder if its less welcome if you're in first class. Personally I'd still ask for one even if I'm in first class.
Notification squad!
We are so excited to see the Etihad Airways First class and I hope you will download the final video of the first classes thank you and god bless you
I have done quite a few sectors with Cathay, but always in steerage. Their first looks more than comfortable. It is not available on all sectors. Not, for example, (at least a few years ago, that may have changed) on the Hong Kong to Melbourne route. Thank you for the video and have a gala time, wherever you are now!
Nice. However way too much to eat. Thats one restraint I have for 1st class on long flights. I usually skip any meal before landing. I have learned the hard way not to indulge too much on the flight. Whatever I didnt eat on the outbound, I try to sample on the way back
Yay you are going to Hong Kong
It's amazing how loud the background noise is on planes. It's probably my least favorite thing about flying (other than turbulence)
phronsiekeys the air noise is what I love, it’s like the whirl of the aircon oR the rumble of tyres over the tarmac, I find it relaxing. I suppose growing up on an airfield and flying regularly as a child has something to do with it.
Just like you love cars but you hate the smell of fuel
i kinda like the turbulence
Love your Videos!! just wanted to know what where you doing in Guatemala a few segments ago!! did you like the country? you would have loved Guatemala in the 70's as it was a Panam Hub, all the 747 would come from LAX and have the 707's taking passengers to other countries in Central America! was great to see the Jumbos parked in the airport.
you should try the new 777 Emirates First/Business Class
I'm a new subscriber and have enjoyed your coverage of flights. When I look at the food menus, I don't see prices. Is this a first class thing? Food and beverage included? Thanks,
The little packed butter box is a big no no for first class i think. Butter should be served in a fancy butter dish for all the money one pays for fc
Excellent Service from what I can see!👍👌🙌👏😬😎
Did you get to completely skip Canadian passport control since you stayed on the plane?
He never legally entered the country so yes, he did skip it.
Nice travel Dan
When you have run out of airlines to review, you should start reviewing hotels !
you should do a trip to maldives
I hope he does a Q&A, Hi Dan nice videos btw :D cheers
Another nice video!!!
Awesome video! Keep up the good work man we wanna see more vids ;)! By the way what is the name of the song at the beginning?
Thanks! The music name is in the description:)
Will you fly Iberia in the near future? I’m flying with them in March/April next year and I’ve never heard much about them. Wonder if they are good
Has Dan ever done a review of a Bombardier CSeries (either SWISS, AirBaltic, or Korean)? I'd love to see one myself.
Great video again! Their food offering indeed looks good but not exactly spectacular
I technically have the miles to take a Singapore A380 Suite... but 1) I'd rather take 5 free flights instead, and 2) the availability for seats available for miles use is minimal and take a ton of luck :)
Can you try more east asian airlines (korean air, asiana, jal, ana, vietnam airlines, etc.)
The price on the champagne is inhuman! I live in the wine country, and I won’t even pay that. A convienience fee is one thing but price gorging is tacky. Maybe you could break the ice, be bad, and ask them to call you -nonstop Dan? Get EXTREEMLY personal. LOL. I enjoyed the review it was honest and you didn’t poke at anyone. Cheers! Miss Dawn 🧖🏼♀️🍾🥂steam shower is my favorite, I have to know if they’ve a bonnet for your lovely hair.
NICE GUYS FOR FIRST CLASS WE ARE BELONG TOGETHER
Just found this channel, seems fun and very honest... Have you given any thoughts of reviewing Garuda Indonesia, their first and business class from Tokyo to Denpasar(Bali), London to Jakarta and Amsterdam to Jakarta? Named Skytrax best cabin crew 5 years in a row, 2014-2018
YVR airport is awesome!
Do spirit vs Ryanair vs easy jet
Not trying to be rude, but the first class meal looked like a Swiss or Turkish Airlines business class meal. I kind of expected more...
Nice I think I'm going to enjoy this
Please give us a review of QANTAS first class!
AMazing video dan
But be hard doing economy after first class awesome video
This flight leaves after 2am. Seems very late for a big meal
I wanna know more about the Alaska mileage program. Did you ever get 'round to making that vid? I'm s'criber, but I might have missed it?
I watch ur allmost video ur video are best keep it up
Are you loyal to Oneworld because their carriers have better first class cabins? I've wondered because you seem to be based in NYC/Sweden which have more Star Alliance carriers. Just curious!
Do a Qatar first class or business class review
