  • Your guide to Qatar Airways Qsuites business class

    Sep 03, 2019, 05:57 PM

    Oof. This means you'll be in their leased LATAM aircraft, which don't feature WiFi or direct aisle access. The only thing you can bet for is an equipment swap since your flight's so far out.

  • Your guide to Qatar Airways Qsuites business class

    Aug 30, 2019, 10:43 PM

    On the Hong Kong route, QR815 and QR818 have QSuites too! (QR815/6 get swapped out quite a bit unfortunately, though the same can be said for all of the other routes.) There's also QR57/58 for Munich, and QR1/2 which should be run by QSuite A350-900s.

  • Inside La Compagnie's Airbus A321neo jets

    Sep 26, 2018, 01:41 PM

    I agree – an Apex Suite-configured narrowbody would be spectacular. That would basically be a longer version of Korean Air's 747-8 upper deck, which I've flown, and is spectacular.However it's important to consider the sub-US$1,600 RT prices that La Compagnie is offering. These planes are ...

  • Hong Kong Airlines' new A350 business class

    Didn't see you yesterday! And the aircraft will run HKG-BKK on HX771 over the next couple days.

  • What's next for CX first, business class

    “we think we’ve got a very comfortable product for that service”Recently I booked my aunt into Cathay Pacific’s business class, and unbeknownst to me there was an equipment swap from a longhaul A330 to a shorthaul A330.Her explanation? “They downgraded me to eco...

  • Turkish Airlines new Boeing 787, Airbus 350 business class seatmap

    Oct 29, 2018, 12:37 PM

    Watch the seatmap more closely – it's a Solstys style configuration, as seats E and F are closer together. Just imagine an aisle between columns A and D, and columns G and K.I swear they mentioned something about a door once, so I'm guessing something along the lines of QSuite.

  • Visiting Cathay Pacific's The Pier business class lounge, HKG

    Jul 06, 2018, 01:15 PM

    Jamesflyer, as you see people here have differing opinions on The Pier. Having been there 3-4 times myself I for one believe it’s absolutely worth it — I enjoy the spaciousness, the food, the variety of things to do, the variety of seating and the sheer number of amenities. I think th...

  • Qantas Sydney business class lounge – food options

    Oct 31, 2017, 05:44 PM

    While I've heard lots about Qantas' amazing First Class lounge in Sydney, unfortunately they seem to overshadow the adjacent international business class lounge. I'll be flying from Sydney to Hong Kong in Cathay Pacific business class next February, and would like to know more about the food opti...

  • Lounge access RTW trip

    Aug 14, 2017, 09:33 AM

    bob342, since you're in business class on a oneworld airline, you'll have access to all oneworld business class lounges in Hong Kong. I personally recommend The Pier, which is a little bit out of the way near gate 65, though the schlep is well worth it. Amazing lounge with great design and tons o...

  • Cathay Pacific early check-in at Hong Kong flying business class

    May 09, 2017, 11:28 PM

    I have had no issues checking in way before my flight at Hong Kong Airport. You can even do online check in 48 hours before departure, and just head straight through immigration (after, potentially, dropping your bags) with your mobile boarding pass and get into The Pier for five relaxing hours.
