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!!!

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.

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!!!!

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. 👏👏👏

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....

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!

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.

You could have asked for some additional caviar (if they still have an additional tin) on top of your scrambled eggs for breakfast!

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.

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.
