Before that, the most expensive champagne I had was some Veuve, and even then, I didn’t enjoy champagne much due to the bitter Brut taste. So because I don’t remember much about it, it must have been fine. There was a point where my wife and I sat down in it side-by-side.

When it was in the bed position, I remember it being pretty comfortable as well. Then again, I sat in the seating position the longest on this flight since it was a 10AM flight whereas the other flights were night-time flights where I just wanted to get into the bed position ASAP.

In the sitting position, it felt the most comfortable. Out of the 7 First products I’ve tried, I have to say this one felt the widest. I wondered how my wife would have felt if there was only 1 seat and I had put her in J. One female was talking to her companion in first, but she had to go back to business class when we were about to take off. By the way, when we flew, all 6 seats were filled. I wrote a post already on where you want to sit if you’re flying as a couple. The HKG-JNB portion only had business class seats, which I may review later. I had spent 70K Alaska miles per person one-way from LAX-HKG-JNB. It was pretty hard finding availability for 2 people back then (I remember only maybe 3 days in June had 2 seat availability.) It’s apparently much harder now so good luck. I had booked this flight nearly 9 months ahead of time.

United First NRT-LAX (so old and terrible that I won’t review – think tape deck for movies).

Cathay Pacific 777-300ER First Class LAX-HKG (this review).

If this was my first and only First Class experience, then you should read the review with a grain of salt, but now that I’ve tried 7 different First Class products, I feel that’s enough to give this review some credibility. So here’s my quick review.Īlso, I’m all about perspective. My travel buddies told me that my angle would be reviewing it as a couple since the majority of the reviews are from single flyers. I actually flew this last July 2015 on my way to South Africa, but never got around to posting it just because there’s really not much for me to add that hasn’t been blogged about by other people already.
