[@liftoffandtravel]

[@andylam73]

best part of flying. agreed, especially when u have a window seat in the business class. i have been on the a330 flying from hong kong to phuket.

[@liftoffandtravel]

Thanks Andy 😁 what class did you fly in? How was the food?

[@andylam73]

@@liftoffandtravel i flew in business class too. but very long haul. 16 hrs and yet feeling arriving too soon as it is just too comfy to enjoy the champagne and meal so leisurely. the meal is good, especially the laksa. this laksa tasted so singaporean. wish to fly home again in business class

Excellent trip report and this was actually their first inaugural route since September 1946 which caused them to compete with Philippine Airlines 8:02 to or from MNL towards HKG years later the Australia United States and Canada markets pre Covid-19 London Heathrow. Regarding competitor PR they have the same planes as Cathay Pacific but lose to CX versions due to their tight seats no ac power plugs in economy Your plane landed on Runway 24 in Manila which is typically used for takeoffs on the other hand Runway 6 is used for landings in MNL.

[@liftoffandtravel]

You clearly know your stuff 👍 thanks for sharing the knowledge with us. We would like to fly Philippine Airlines at some point. We also like Cebu Pacific ✈️ Sadly the plug issue isn't just in Asia. Had a 3hr fought today within Europe and no plugs or USB 😐

@@liftoffandtravel No problem mate I used to travel over in that part of the world which is why I am in favour of PR competitors CX and KE in the future SQ

Thank you for your trip report. I've flown this product on the route you've shown and it's fine and serviceable for the route. Much less so if you're flying as far as Tokyo. I would not trust the stated aircraft type especially for "shuttle" routes like MNL-HKG. It happens more than you think.

[@liftoffandtravel]

I'd be interested to know how often it does change. Did make for a fun change but I imagine it annoys a lot of people. Thanks for watching 👍

Very good 🤩

Muito obrigado Gil ✈️💙

Pretty cool video! I would love to fly on Cathay Pacific sometime. Wouldn't mind this "Regional Business Class" on a less than 3 hour flight. Not sure if I'd be as happy on a 10 hour flight to London though! Also that's a pretty nice breakfast, think I've had similar on a BA 767 to Edinburgh.

[@liftoffandtravel]

Your Latam trip from Madrid to Frankfurt was pretty good. They're a good airline no matter what flight or cabin 😊 just as you say don't want this on 5+hrs 😐

[@JettTyler17]

@@liftoffandtravel Hard to believe I did that on my 100th Flight trip 6 years ago! I've done over 200 flights since then! 😶

[@liftoffandtravel]

@@JettTyler17 I would imagine a small part of is gutted the route ended 💔 I never got to try it and then they went and left IAG 😢

[@JettTyler17]

@@liftoffandtravel They left OneWorld, the airline was never owned by IAG, that's a different affair :)

[@tong.clement]

Long haul flights will always have a reverse herringbone lie flat business class seat regardless of plane type (777-300ER (77W) or A359/K alike) - don't worry (as far as I understand)

[@tabishonen]

They are still using this for Narita route as well; sad.

[@liftoffandtravel]

Oh god... 🙄 Do they exclusively use this or do they vary it?

[@tabishonen]

@@liftoffandtravel One or two flights NRTHKG are still using old 77P with old regional biz seats

[@DonRaynor]

I'm here to learn whats waitng for me, flying HKG to TPE in august 👀

[@liftoffandtravel]

You will probably be on the Airbus A330 ✈️ might be the 1:2:1 seating not the regional 2:2:2

[@DonRaynor]

@@liftoffandtravel flight is at the end of August, but at least in seating pre-reservation it showed the 2-2-2 seating arrangement, I do get to enjoy the 1-2-1 with an A350-1000 from Frankfurt to HKG though 😂

[@liftoffandtravel]

@@DonRaynor I think people panic with 2:2:2 because they have to share with a stranger but for such a short flight you'll have taken off, been fed and landing before you know it. Oh wow, been a long time. Hopefully the will have the burger as a mid flight snack when you go. Could enjoy their signature drink at the same time 😊

[@DonRaynor]

@@liftoffandtravel Honestly. Wouldn't mind having a Taipei Local next to me. I'm moving there for a year, I'd have so many questions and things I'd want to learn, They'd want to escape the plane before it lands.

[@liftoffandtravel]

@@DonRaynor not sure what your interests are but there is a very pretty village to the north of Taipei, lights, gift shops and fresh fish stalls. You could try a very unusual blunt knife massage, which will leave you sore 😂 And if you like your cats there is a cat village 30 minutes away. My friend who was there for 6 months also explore the south and the countryside. Either way sounds exciting 🌍

[@beautifulstory8881]

How many hours flight is this?

[@liftoffandtravel]

It's 2hr 30 minutes typically between Hong Kong and Manila
