Cathay Pacific Business Class - Hong Kong to Sydney (CX 101) - Boeing 777-300ER

[@cmines73]

I live vicariously through your videos

[@eddiekhoo2046]

Hopefully I can get another one online soon :)

[@nostalgicgamer8048]

That’s cool how Eddie just took the time to respond to every comment. Pretty neat and caring, honestly

[@eddiekhoo2046]

Well, you've taken the time to post a comment after watching my video. The least I could do :)

[@rossvlogs3617]

Great video as always Eddie 👍🏼 keep up the great work. Stay safe ✈️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@eddiekhoo2046]

Thanks, will do! Take care Ross and hope to see you again on my channel soon. Stay safe as well :)

[@as673]

Great video, missed the days where you don't need a mask to travel. Thank you for the post!

[@eddiekhoo2046]

Sadly that'll be quite the while :(

[@Harry.C]

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.

[@eddiekhoo2046]

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

[@isaacfung622]

I like the herringbone design of Business Class seats

[@eddiekhoo2046]

Yes, it's very private and guarantees the legspace

[@yanfeizhang3580]

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.

[@eddiekhoo2046]

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 :)

[@blueskyswan]

I love your videos! Takes me back to the days I used to work as a Flight Attendant, long ago. Keep up the good work!

[@eddiekhoo2046]

Thank you! Will do!

[@ashwinabram7606]

love your videos and presentation. all the very best.

[@ramkumarsuresh]

Nice to see a video from your channel in lockdown. Hope you are safe from COVID-19.

[@eddiekhoo2046]

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!

Fantastic journey food is good have a nice journey

[@eddiekhoo2046]

Thanks Rushi. Take care mate :)

[@pierrenine5775]

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.

[@eddiekhoo2046]

Welcome back! Maybe KZbin 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 :)

[@ashtonpaugh1189]

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?

[@eddiekhoo2046]

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 :)

[@tbd1613]

Nice video Eddie. Hopefully you and your family are keeping safe. Looking forward to your next video.

[@eddiekhoo2046]

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 :)

[@tavita8699]

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✈️

[@eddiekhoo2046]

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.

[@memer1012]

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

[@lisahall9586]

Yet another amazing flight review Eddie. Makes me feel like we are right there with you. Cheers from Lisa

[@eddiekhoo2046]

Glad you enjoyed it! Stay safe Lisa :)

@@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.

[@s22-j9n]

Lisa Hall yes I have been their many times as I live in Sydney hope this helped you stay safe

[@protocolofficer2629]

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.

[@eddiekhoo2046]

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! :)

[@johnhorton5022]

thanks for the vid Mr Khoo. cannot wait to experience all this again. hope you are keeping well.

[@eddiekhoo2046]

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 :(

[@daveu88sanderson8]

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

[@eddiekhoo2046]

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.

[@rod_at_adelaide5766]

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!

[@eddiekhoo2046]

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!

Thank you! Cheers!

[@rrpostalagain]

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]

All airlines are hurting, but I think CX should be OK. There'll always be a market for HK travelers.

[@Iseekthetruth2024]

Nice video Eddie. Looks like Cathay has a good product. SIA is my preference, but I should try Cathay in the future.

[@eddiekhoo2046]

SQ is still my preference though. The food, seat and bedding are much better with SQ. And there's something about those Singapore girls ;)

[@Iseekthetruth2024]

I agree ! The cabin crew on Singapore Airlines are amazing. Book the Cook is also another bonus.

[@nicholasngo5428]

It is normal to use Boeing 777-300er such a medium aircraft in such a medium-haul flight from hong kong to Sydney

[@eddiekhoo2046]

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?

[@eddiekhoo2046]

This travel was pre-COVID19 Dan

[@mq46312]

I assume this is during Covid times? The food doesn't really look that impressive.

[@eddiekhoo2046]

Funny you mention that - this is actually PRE-covid times. So the food now is worse ;)

[@mq46312]

@@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.

[@danbskyguy]

Nice video. Do you not have a voice though?
