    Good job, Jayden. Meanwhile, I have a suggestion. Now that 6-4 is accompanying you on your trips; why not encourage him to occassionally speak to us about his experiences as well. Opinions oftentimes differ, so he could provide the perfect contrast to yours being the more-seasoned traveller. Stay safe.

    Yes, a very strange meal schedule. In terms of the crew not being proactive, I had a similar experience on Qatar from Auckland to Adelaide in business class. Although they gave out a wine list they didn’t do a drinks service nor offer wine with dinner (just water). They of course were very prompt if you rang the call bell / asked for anything, but I was surprised they weren’t more proactive. 🤔

      @@JaydenWong it’s hard to tell but I think the business cabin was about 60 per cent occupied. Unfortunately I decided not to film it because I have a backlog of things I’ve filmed but still haven’t edited (the downside of working full time means I’m always behind 😝). I did make a couple of Shorts about the trip but didn’t mention the lack of drinks service. I also flew Sydney to Christchurch in Emirates A380 business and that was out of this world because there was almost as many crew as passengers. Lol

I've used Cathay a lot, but I haven't tried their 777 since they changed to 10 abreast. I am booked on a few Cathay economy 777-300ER flights this year so watched your video to see how it is. I should be alright since I'm pretty slim!

    Hi Jayden.
    Good to know that there is more room in the back rows of " cattle class".😅..... I, too am not in favor of 4 across in the middle of economy.
    They sell it as " only 1 seat from the aisle"....but i think a better dales pitch would be "experience being a sardine in a can in person !!!😅"

    I also had an occasion with CX back in 2013 on the HKG-SIN leg where the Economy class wasn't served hot drinks after the breakfast! To make it worst, as I opted for vegetarian meal, the sandwich came almost icy cold while those who waited for the main cart had theirs served warm 🙄. Am 'glad' that i wasn't hallucinating about this all these years 😉

      I really want to but it's too expensive, only Latam and Qantas fly there and Santiago only. Usually $2000+ return when London which is much further away is $1200, and Hong Kong less than $800. Same goes for Africa. I could only possibly go when I have a US trip because I can fly from the US to Central or South America. I've tried before but it exceeded my budget 🤣 I tend to limit myself to $2000 on flights per trip. My next trip to US cost me $1600 on flights alone already 😩 The furthest I could go is Central America and I hope it'll work out!

      the 777 can be very loud, but sitting towards the back on this rather long plane helps reduce the noise :)

    I tbh am very against 3-4-3 on a 777….It’s just….too forcing unless if it’s an LCC. Tbh the lack of proactiveness that you mentioned is also what I found on my previous CX flights too, as well as the reason why I’m very obsessed with JAL (which I have just reviewed - do watch) and ANA, and other Japanese carriers as well, to the point that I signed up for AAdvantage just to use their miles on JAL, QR, and CX flights.

    Actually, even back in 2015 HKG->YYZ in J they served second meal in middle of flight. Strange. However, in long flight like to YYZ it makes sense since u will get hungry earlier. And u probably will eat as soon as u get off the plane. As for drink situation, it was the same the last time I flew time in 2019. Either they served wine then no hot option. Or they did not serve juice but served just coffee and tea for breakfast. That was in ALL sector I flew in 2019 YYZ->HKG, HKG->SYD, BNE->HKG and HKG->YYZ. In my 33 years of flying CX, I never thought their Y class is the best. However, I admit the few times I flew their J class, well let’s just say I know why they are one of the best airlines in the world!

    • @JaydenWong
      @JaydenWong  9 месяцев назад

      interesting, I flew CX BNE to HKG last year and it wasn't like this then. I've never flown CX ultra-long haul but did AA DFW to HKG in 2019. The service structure made a lot of sense, first full meal after takeoff > mid-flight snack > second meal 2 hours before landing. I will fly CX J to SYD next month, can't wait!

    4:27 this should be standard alongside a USB port for all airlines. Since you can't use a laptop via USB power. Speaking of B-KPO it can do CX844 which goes back to HKG as CX841 back then it did CX890 HKG-EWR. Between this B777-367/ER CX and B777-312/ER SQ which one will you pick overall?
    For me I would go B777-367/ER CX🇭🇰 = B777-312/ER SQ = B777-322/ER🇺🇲 > B777-3F6/ER🇵🇭.
    5:13 is that fixed on landing gear or like the A350s which are both Tail and Landing Gear cameras. For JFK and Pre covid EWR CX134 connects to CX890 and CX840. Which means your B777-367/ER will then do HKG-JFK if A350-900 pre Covid-19 CX134 and then CX890 to EWR. This also fits the new seats in 2024 if needed

      On long flights, they generally give you two options so no real need to order a special meal, but on short flights like Hanoi, Taipei etc. they only offer one choice so maybe order it just in case. You can have the extra portion if it turns out that the normal is non-beef :)
