Flying Cathay's business class was a DREAM! | Flight Review | Hong Kong-Taipei | Boeing 777-300ER

This is a short hop of just 68 minutes, but what followed was one of the most impressive short-haul premium experiences I’ve had in a long time. From an immaculately executed service flow to a crew that worked in perfect harmony, Cathay Pacific showed how even the shortest flights can be done exceptionally well. In this video, I take you through the full experience, the cabin, seat, inflight service, and those small but telling details that separate good from truly great. It’s also a fascinating look at Cathay’s older long-haul Business Class product, still very much holding its own thanks to the people delivering it. It’s not about flight time, it’s about the people and execution. And Cathay Pacific absolutely nailed it on this sector... 0:00 Intro 1:25 Getting to HKG 1:56 Check-in and bag drop 2:11 Cathay Pacific The Pier lounge 11:35 Heading to the gate 12:08 A wave from Aeroflot 12:58 Boarding 13:16 Seat tour 16:15 Pre-departure experience 17:23 Pushback and taxi 18:09 Take-off 19:39 Climb 20:04 Fully lie-flat bed 21:39 Husband joins the suite 22:20 Dining menu 22:48 Meal service 25:44 Toilet review 26:02 Wi-Fi 26:17 In-flight entertainment 26:36 Descent 27:52 Landing 28:51 Final thoughts 29:47 Credits and with thanks 📍 Route: Hong Kong (HKG) to Taipei (TPE) ✈️ Aircraft: Boeing 777-300ER (B-KPY) 💺 Cabin: Business ⌛ Flight Time: 1 hour, 8 minutes 💵 Cost: 14,300 Avios + £144.40 (Taxes/Fees) Facebook:   / jameswarrentravelexpert   Instagram:   / jameswarrentravelexpert   TikTok:   / jwotravelexpert   LinkedIn:   / jameswarrenoliver   🔔 If you enjoy honest, detailed airline reviews and travel insights, please like, comment, and subscribe — your support means the absolute world! 👕 Fancy seeing your name in the credits?
