Thanks for watching the video Incredible First Class Experience! ✈️ | Cathay Pacific Review 2023: Hong Kong-Paris Flight Report ⭐️

[@judyroberts6657]

Wow Chris, that was a brilliant review - entertaining and informative, well done you!!! From the singing in the cabana to breakfast before arrival you kept us totally captivated - although my anxiety levels were rather high at the thought of you loosing the Krug during the turbulence! The food presentation looked absolutely beautiful and I was impressed by your dedication to plough through as much as you did for our benefit.....did the crew roll you down the aisle??? Also, I have to say, you do have the look of a James Bond villain in those PJ's 😎 Seriously though, your reviews are excellent and I believe you are well on your way to being one of the top airline reviewers. My condolences on the loss of your father Chris, words sometimes aren't enough convey our thoughts 🙏 I look forward to your next review, you’ve set the bar high young man!!!

[@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition]

Dear Judy, I don't know where to start with my thanks for this wonderful feedback! To be honest, the staff TRIED to roll me out in Paris - but I was too heavy after 11 courses. 😅 Thank you so much for the encouragement. I've been struggling with getting people watch my content. Please feel free to spread the word and share if you liked the report. Would be so wonderful if more people started to see my channel and watch my reports. Cheers from Germany! Chris

[@stephaniegoldberger3207]

Loved the comprehensive review, quite the luxury experience. Enjoyed your narration! On to Paris!

[@jenniferlarmore2338]

I loved this report! You made it so fun inserting little moments like Leonardo di Caprio turning down caviar, and showing us the wines, the food and the seating arrangement. Any flight that has Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand gets an A+ from me! Bravo Chris!!!!! It was so nice to see the moment about your dad. In the photos one can see how much fun you and your dad had traveling together. Thanks so much for showing us these things about your life and flight!!!!

[@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition]

Thank you so much, dearest Jennifer! What a beautiful comment by a friend - and now even follower! 😊😊😊 So proud and happy to have you as a dear friend!

[@Sanznachito]

How wonderful it is to see Cathay making a come back, after such a long and forced absence. A wonderfully memorable experience for you, with such a warm and highly professional world class Team. I cannot believe how good the presentation of your dining experience was and I can only imagine the flavours. I loved that you sampled a mixture of Western and Asian, with a spectacular wine list to match and didn't let the turbulence spoil anything, although its possibly great to allow the Red to oxidise before drinking! Hats off to Cathay for coming back to life with an abundance of high spec offerings, showing they still know how to look after their guests. The bed looked very spacious with a great level of privacy. Your father will have been with you in spirit so we raise a glass to him! I am very sorry to hear of his passing - my condolences to you and your family. Thank you very much for sharing with us all. 👏👏👏

[@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition]

Thank you for the beautiful words, dear Nacho! It was indeed a great experience - and what I liked most of that the crew wasn't just young people doing it as a job for a few years but who really take this profession seriously, as a lifetime profession. Very nice to see. I'd totally trust them in a dangerous event - not so much on some other, more glamorous airlines....

[@elsol4459]

I wish I was flying there enjoying all that delicious food you were served, Caviar included!!. I has been a joy to see First Class on Cathay Pacific. Thanks.

[@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition]

Thank you very much for watching. What I take as iris from it was the funny turbulences and a very lovely crew - and the wonderful food......

Excellent video Chris, it was certainly worth waiting for ! I found it very interesting to see were Cathay currently are with their first class experience after they have had such a difficult few years. It does look like they are coming back, and I wish them well. I appreciated seeing so many of the dishes on offer, well done ! I was very moved with your words about your Dad; and as I am enjoying a glass of wine while watching your video I raised my glass in respect to him. Thanks for another wonderful review, please keep them coming !

Thank you very much! He was a wonderful dad - very proud of my professional operatic career, and also about my completely other side: my passionate KZbin work.... So I have lots of positive energy from my time with him, which is a great gift

[@johnattersley2135]

Another well presented report, and well enjoyed. The turbulence at the start would not have been enjoyable, I was amazed to see that the glasses managed to stay upright. I once flew Cathy Pacific in economy and I must say my recollection was that their service was very good. Looking forward to your next adventure!

[@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition]

Thank you, dear John! I will release a few reports that were meant for release this winter - but I couldn't move after my dad passed away. Still, they're ver interesting reviews of interesting airlines and destinations reports - and both airlines and destinations do still exist. So I will work on that now... 🙂 Please feel free to share your experience with my channel on social media, if you like 🙂 So happy that you're a longtime part of this channel already!

I just came across your channel and WOW!!! I love that you truly have fun and enjoy the flying experience. I’ll say it right now…..Sam Chui who??? You bring a breath of fresh air to online trip reports that has desperately been needed. Thank you for just being YOU and not so serious like all the other Vloggers! Huge fan and will spread the word. You are going BIG! Keep the great content coming!!!! 🎉

[@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition]

Hi Marc! Thank you so much! You have no idea how much your comment made me happy and also gave me a good reason to go back to my desk and continue for my next report. Sometimes not easy when you do this kind of extremely comprehensive yet entertaining reports, loaded with all the info - 100% honest and especially: fair. And the result is that so few people clicks it (except for the Cathay one, because almost nobody did it since the crisis), just because the title doesn't say "shocking" or "brutally honest" or "I survived business class on...." - whole everybody should be happy for the privilege first of all. I do make some critical comments - when they're adequate, and people must know when something is not okay, but there's hardly ever a reason for bashing an airline or a person... It needs to be seen from both sides. When a KZbinr behaves "entitled" on a plane (I believe there's never a reason for being entitled, in any situation of life), it's just logical that he won't be treated with silk gloves... So, thank you so so so much, and I'm very happy that you'll spread the word, too! 😊😊😊😊 Wilson you me great time watching my content on TravelSingFly! Have a look at the playlists too! The series on Emirates and Dubai, for example, but also the Qatar series and maybe the Phuket Beach Reports. Hugs and cheers from Germany!

[@dereklee7351]

Very nice review! Was wondering how's the availability in regards to redeeming miles. I've been searching for a long time and it seems redemptions for first class is super hard to find.

[@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition]

Hi! Thank you for writing about that. To be honest, it's become very hard to find first class awards on Cathay now. There was a very short moment when they started owning flights to Paris, and I booked the next moment I heard about it. So my advice: Cathay WILL reintroduce first class on more routes again, and when you hear that, look out for award space on those words right away.

[@thomassharp2719]

May your Father rest in peace.

very nice clip. Pls accept my sincerest condolences for your dad. My dad is very very sick also. It's been almost 2 years he's been sick and I'm making every moment with him. keep up the great work and vids

[@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition]

Thank you, dear Alex! It's memories that we keep for out lifetimes. So it's great to make memories when we can. My dad died in a car crash, in a second he was gone, no goodbye possible. In all the sadness I'm just glad that we talked about everything and I didn't miss to say to him or do with him anything, and we really cared for each other. I also never postponed things to sometimes later. I've always told that to my friends too that is a mistake to postpone things. We never know what the future holds. Thank you very much indeed for your words! Sending my best thoughts. Chris

A first class product being reviewed in a first class manner. I wonder if you enjoyed taking part as much as I enjoyed watching it. {O.K. I know the answer to that.}

[@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition]

Thank you very much, dear one! Actually it's never very easy when I review a flight. So I basically never have a relaxed premium-Class flight. But I really appreciate the opportunity when I can do a flight like this one. It's a great memory 😊

[@yvr2002rtw]

You could have asked for some additional caviar (if they still have an additional tin) on top of your scrambled eggs for breakfast! A lot of the passengers who can afford to pay cash fares and fly often tend to just sleep and drink water during the flight. This leaves lots of uneaten food for those who redeem miles!

[@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition]

Weil, you've seen how much I had in this flight. But I'll remember your advice on my next flight 😊

[@keithdubois8579]

Nice piece, but please get a decent lavalier microphone, your production will be so much better.

[@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition]

Thank you for the feedback! I'll check it again. I know in the plane is not a great sound - but it's actually quite an expensive microphone.... I should maybe check if I do something wrong.

[@keithdubois8579]

@@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition Actually it would look a lot better if you clipped the mike on you rather then holding it in your hands.

[@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition]

And it would be so much more comfortable for me. The problem with that is that the sound of the like plane take over very fast. That's why e. g. Josh also holds the microphone in his hand. I just checked the whole video right away after your feedback, by the way. I thought here the quality is good, everything easy to understand (not on every video like that) - but maybe you mean the sound itself? I had a pretty low voice, being an opera singer... However, I need to check if I could change the settings to more treble.... Thank you again, feedback like this is really valuable.

[@keithdubois8579]

@@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition A lavalier microphone thats directional will fix the problem. It will also look more professional cliped on your shirt rather then you holding it. I was broadcasting tec for many years. I'm also a huge fan of opera. Keep singing.

[@Estenberg]

Remember me fellow traveler, I am the first person to "Like" your video. That's because, I too flew Cathay Pacific First Class (from Los Angeles to Hong Kong) in 1986, and I wanted to compare the two. Well, your experience flying CP-1st BLEW MINE AWAY (I can tell just by the picture of your breakfast in bed & fully reclined seat). I think that the 'First Class' that I flew, would now be considered 'Couch-Plus,' except for my free drinks, actual 'Chinaware,' and feeble 'Amenity Pack' of eyeshades, slippers, & a shaving-kit . How times have changed. NOTE: I will also be the first person to Subscribe because of this video, just to follow the positive Omens, so that maybe I can fly CP-1st yet again.

[@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition]

Hi! Thank you so much for sharing your insight and memories! Indeed air travel has changed incredibly much - when it comes to business class and first class, that is. First Class was what today would be between premium economy and business class - but still very exclusive. Flying Was already way more exclusive by itself. I hope you'll like the video. In each of my videos I try to give the best and most comprehensive, yet also entertaining report of the respective topic for my audience to watch. Thanks for being part of this now! 😊 Chris
