Cathay Pacific Reviews:

Tushar Parmar: 

I flew from Kansai to Paris via Hong Kong with Cathay Airlines. Experience with this airline was too good and more comfortable as compare to others. The staff was too grateful and help in an appropriate manner. Drinks are adapted to British taste. I love to travel again with Cathay Pacific.

Tanisha Sharma:

I flew from Gatwick to Hong Kong. This is the first time when I really enjoyed the trip. In-flight there is plenty of entertainment options with perfect space of legroom. The food was also too delicious. I will give them a 5 star for their services and amenities.
