I needed to get from Seoul to Saigon and while there were a few direct options, I chose to make a connection in Hong Kong and fly Cathay Pacific. I did this so I could check out Cathay’s Lie Flat Seats in Business Class. Typically, one would need to get on a long-haul flight in order to experience the seats, but for whatever reason, Cathay was flying an Airbus A340-300 (they also sometimes fly a 777 on this route) on this 2 hour hop, equipped with their lie flat business class seats. The trip from Seoul to Hong Kong is HERE. At first glance, the seats look a bit narrow and cramped, but it turned out quite the contrary. There is plenty of space, comfort and privacy. Of course, I’m not sure if this would be an ideal way to fly with a companion, assuming you wanted to look or talk to one another, but you would definitely be comfortable. The story of my eventful arrival in Saigon a.k.a Ho Chi Minh City is HERE.

a full meal, including ice cream, was served

Same seats Delta has on their 77L’s at the moment. Air New Zealand & Virgin (at least).
Like the headphone holder!
The seats were very uncomfortable in the economy. Not the entire seats reclined but the seats came forward and not enough for my husbands long legs.
