I was/am a fan of Cathay, having flown with them a few times but this was more than 10 yrs ago.
However, I'm due to fly again with them next month to LHR-HKG then onto BKI with DragonAir, having made a decision to fly specifically with them again due to being more than happy with them on previous flights.
A couple of niggling concerns though:
Are these new fandangled shell seats still in situ on the LHR-HKG flight 254? As I'm only 5 ft and a bit, I'm hoping they will have little impact on my comfort, so perhaps on this occasion it's an advantage to be a shortarse...? I'm flying cattle class.
As someone rightly says, reviews are quite often written by those with something negative to say, but it doesn't stop me from noticing all the negative comments and thinking that Cathy doesn't seem to be quite the marvellous airline I flew with years ago.
I'm afraid I'm looking forward to this flight with some trepidation - surely their service hasn't declined as much as some people claim?
I remember being impressed with Dragonair a few years ago too, hopefully they will be as good now as they were then.
