Yeah, I did miss posting videos too. Been preoccupied with work the past few months, but as COVID19 is slowly settling I've gotten some spare time to indulge in my hobbies again :) I should've been trying the CX A350-1000 2 weeks ago and the new Bamford sleep products....but that'll have to wait another year I reckon :s
I flew Cathay business class quite a lot of time, but I never missed it sooo much like now. The last time I flew it was on March 10th this year on CX104 HKG-MEL with an A359 featuring the new business class. Despite it has been a lot of time into the COVID19, the services are top-notch, with decent food, high-speed wifi, and premium services. BTW, that was also my first time flying outbound of HKG on a long-haul flight of CX. I miss the day when people can enjoy their flight without masks on faces, and no need to think about the travel sanction applied globally; whenever you have money and visa, you are free to go. I miss that feeling soooo much.
I share similar sentiments as you, but it'll be sometime in 2021 when international travel will start to happen and the flying experience will be markedly different. I'm guessing it'll be years before we go to the same pre-COVID travel experience. In the meantime, stay safe :)
Great to see you post another video Eddie. For some reason as a subscriber I didn`t receive notification for this one, and stumbled upon it by chance today. A nostalgic reminder of travel as we knew it before these crazy COVID-19 times. I fear much of the pleasure will be absent in flying, at least for the foreseeable future. Take care Eddie, and stay safe.
Welcome back! Maybe RUclips is experiencing some issues with the sub alerts? Anyways, I still have a few more of these pre-COVID19 experiences to share. We can dream about when we can travel unrestricted like in the good old days :)
I work on the front lines so have been very busy these past few weeks. As things are settling now, I'm able to do my videos again :) I'm am behind several months and there's plenty of catch up work to do! :p Anyways, hope you've been well too. Take care!
Thanks for the comments George. Life during the lockdown was both interesting and worrying at the same time. Glad things are slowly getting better. Hopefully we can resume some interstate flights soon, and in the near future some flights overseas! Stay safe mate :)
Welcome back Eddie it been such a wait to see your vlogs once again. I'm not a fan of CX they are a very hit and miss carrier. Nice to use their First class lounge and the priorities that come with your frequent flyer status. Please stay safe Eddie. So great to have you back✈️
Welcome back! It has certainly been a while. Glad to hear you're keeping well. I find CX honours status really well. For example, the cabin service manager made an effort to have me served first even though I was right at the back of business class. I would've been flying their A350-1000 to Manchester last week if it wasn't for COVID19. It would have been nice to see how their new sleep products did, and if they've managed to improve the meal service as well.
Very nice Eddie! I watch you all the time and enjoy all the detail you provide. My favourite, of course is reading the menus. For breakfast, I could not decide between the parsley omelette and the dim sum! Could I have ordered both?😋. Thanks for a great video. I enjoyed it very much. Cheers, Colin.
I've had quite a lot of airplane omelettes, and they always seem to taste a bit bland and yucky after a long flight (even in first/business class). The dim sum is always a good option as they have the chili sauce to dip them in so they're full of flavour :p Take care Colin and stay safe! :)
I hope so too! But my gut feeling says it'll be 2021 when we can start flying internationally again. Much of the world is still inundated by the virus :(
@@eddiekhoo2046 is Sydney Airport easy to navigate? I haven't been there in years and I am flying to New Zealand for my 50th Birthday in 2022 and will be staying at Rydges Sydney Airport the night before I fly which is across the road from the International Terminal. I haven't flown in over 30years. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
You're welcome mate. I'm just waiting for some domestic flights to resume for a much needed break. Had a couple of overseas conferences cancelled over winter due to COVID19 :( Anyways, glad to hear you're safe. Take care!
Hi Eddie A really informative review of Cathay Pacific on their 777. I love flying with them when I visit OZ. Keep up your great reviews whilst on your travels. I hope you and your good lady are staying safe in these testing times. Kind regards DS
Thanks Dave. I've got quite a few pre-COVID flight reviews I've yet to edit and upload, so with some of the free time I've got now I'll slowly churn through them. It'll be quite a long stretch before we can do any overseas travel. Anyways, while we're all grounded we'll just have to make do with the virtual travel :) Stay safe mate.
I'll never understand how you choose your meal! Everything always is described as delicious and so good! I want it all. Maybe where you've flown so often you know what is better?
It is very difficult to pick. Generally it's nice to choose the meal that is related to the airline you're flying or the city/country you're flying out of. I know it's a generalisation but Cathay would probably do Chinese/Cantonese cuisine fairly well because they're flying out of Hong Kong :)
Thank you Mark. Been busy during COVID19 due to work. Doing these videos remind me it'll be ages before we get to travel internationally again. And it will be a very different experience :s Hope you've been well Mark. Take care mate! :)
I’ve flown Cathay Pacific LA to HK about 7-8 times. I’ve never gotten to use the 1st class section and only twice used the in between class. So I am jealous, but I still really like CP and hope they are not hurt too much by all of these world events.
@@eddiekhoo2046 That's really disappointing. It's basically economy class food (especially the main) served in a fancier dish. I would say that this food is Premium Economy level at best, but far from what's expected of business class.
That’s cool how Eddie just took the time to respond to every comment. Pretty neat and caring, honestly
Well, you've taken the time to post a comment after watching my video. The least I could do :)
I live vicariously through your videos
Hopefully I can get another one online soon :)
Great video, missed the days where you don't need a mask to travel. Thank you for the post!
Sadly that'll be quite the while :(
Missed your video so much. Still love CX’s old catering service compared with the new one. Hope we can all get back to the good old flying days soon.

Thank you! Will do!

my dad works for cathay on 747-8 cargo and he would be mad if he heard you say you don't like cx

I like the herringbone design of Business Class seats
Yes, it's very private and guarantees the legspace
Fantastic journey food is good have a nice journey
Thanks Rushi. Take care mate :)
thanks for the vid Mr Khoo. cannot wait to experience all this again. hope you are keeping well.
I hope so too! But my gut feeling says it'll be 2021 when we can start flying internationally again. Much of the world is still inundated by the virus :(
Yet another amazing flight review Eddie. Makes me feel like we are right there with you. Cheers from Lisa
Glad you enjoyed it! Stay safe Lisa :)

Great review as always Eddie, we're all missing travelling and watching our favourite Av Geeks. Stay well and thanks for being at the front line!

Hi Eddie
A really informative review of Cathay Pacific on their 777. I love flying with them when I visit OZ.
Keep up your great reviews whilst on your travels.
I hope you and your good lady are staying safe in these testing times.

Hope you've been well Mark. Take care mate! :)
I’ve flown Cathay Pacific LA to HK about 7-8 times. I’ve never gotten to use the 1st class section and only twice used the in between class. So I am jealous, but I still really like CP and hope they are not hurt too much by all of these world events.
All airlines are hurting, but I think CX should be OK. There'll always be a market for HK travelers.
Nice video Eddie. Looks like Cathay has a good product. SIA is my preference, but I should try Cathay in the future.
SQ is still my preference though. The food, seat and bedding are much better with SQ. And there's something about those Singapore girls ;)
I agree ! The cabin crew on Singapore Airlines are amazing. Book the Cook is also another bonus.
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks Eddie - great to see another video from you :-)
My pleasure! There'll be more to come for sure. Take care and stay safe Doug :)
@@eddiekhoo2046 Same to you, Eddie.
Great vlog as always
Thanks again!
It's been quite a long wait, but it was worth it.
Yes it certainly has been! 3 months I think?! Apologies for the wait :s
Very nice
Thanks. Please check out my other reviews too when you get the chance :)
@@eddiekhoo2046 yeah sure hope to fly with u I m crazy about air trips
Careful with covid Eddie, love your vids
Thanks Jose, no travelling for a while for me due to COVID19. Virtual flying in RUclips land should be safe though :D
nice review! I liked and subbed
Thanks for the sub! And do check out my other recent vids too. Take care! :)
I thought you will never post this video again because of the COVID-19. Stay safe and healthy please
Just can't do any flying during COVID19 sadly. But I have a backload of unedited flight videos I need to attend to now. Keep safe too Chiru :)
Which Cathay Pacific First and Business Class Lounges in Hong Kong respectively will u recommend?
Pier first class hands down
@@eddiekhoo2046 How about Business Class?
I was on that same flight in mid jan
Cool! During COVID19 it's now an A350 service...
It is normal to use Boeing 777-300er such a medium aircraft in such a medium-haul flight from hong kong to Sydney
I think it's to do with the load factor. CX can fit in more passengers on the 777-300ER than on the A350 and A330.
what profession are you in that lets you travel during these times?
This travel was pre-COVID19 Dan
Nice video. Do you not have a voice though?
You can hear me talk during the videos to the flight attendants. But in regards to narrating the video, I hate the sound of my own voice.... :p
@@eddiekhoo2046 Why though. It's so sexy. Like Barry White!
Eddie why did u stop uploading?
It's not by choice. I'm just too busy with work and don't have time to edit/upload. But slowly churning out the reviews. Stay tuned :)
I assume this is during Covid times? The food doesn't really look that impressive.
Funny you mention that - this is actually PRE-covid times. So the food now is worse ;)
@@eddiekhoo2046 That's really disappointing. It's basically economy class food (especially the main) served in a fancier dish. I would say that this food is Premium Economy level at best, but far from what's expected of business class.
First like view and comment
Nice. It's been a while eh :)
何時有新片呀？
✈️✈️✈️
Only virtual flying at this stage. Actual flying will have to wait a while :s
Face mask was not mandatory?
It is now. My videos are from pre-COVID. I have quite a few unedited vids I need to upload Pedro :s
Old video?
I've got a ton of pre-COVID19 flight reviews I haven't edited yet. Busy with work! :)
@@eddiekhoo2046 my flight to hong kong from bangkok on cathay was cancelled on march 25 took Jal to tokyo instead. Then to NYC.
