Cathay Pacific in for long haul
The gradual implementation of Cathay Pacifics new seats will finally be completed by mid November. Most importantly they will have the lie flat business class and the new economy class, fixed back design.
You'll be happy as a clam in your new shell seat. Why? Because no one will ever recline into your salad or onto your computer again – they're in their own shell seat. The fixed-back design means that all seat movement is within a shell that doesn’t move whether you're sitting upright or sleeping, so everyone has a protected personal space. And with a LEAP® Live Back™ upholstered seat, it's a very comfortable space, with smooth reclining and an adjustable headrest. You can relax and enjoy your 9" widescreen TV with StudioCX – featuring a rotating library of 100 movies, 350 TV shows, 888 music CDs, 22 radio channels.
Fly to Hong Kong with Cathay Pacific before 07 September and stay 2 nights from only $139pp. See here for details.
