Premium EY?
 

Isn't this a little too close to our old J class????

Review: Cathay Pacific

This is an outstanding and informative review of P E Class, and, apart from Cathay's normal meanness regarding amenities kit, seems pretty good. The old Air Rage Prompter of the guy in front's seat hitting you in the face when he does a high speed recline has been dealt with.
50% more than economy? Yes, especially if you can get the front row.
Credit where it's due but buy your own adaptor if you're a regular. What did I say about meanness? 20 adaptors for an entire aircraft when they need them in EY too AND they don't sell them either.

new economy seats too!!! just wish my back didn't already make me give up on booking my trip to europe with CX.... only ever flown 3 round trips on an airline other then CX!!

just booked a trial for emirates...

Agree - I think you may mean "Regional J Class". We still have (as far as I know) all 772's all 773's (RR) and 12-13 older 330's in the old regional J - first introduced in 1994 - fitted with small TV's, no AVOD and using Video TAPE (I didn't know anyone made tapes anymore - and that bank of old VCRs must weigh a ton!), no in seat (normal AC)power socket etc.

What's more on Cathay Pacific.com descriptions of Regional J have disappeared see here: Cathay Pacific - What's Onboard : Travel Classes > Business Class

So imagine a passengers confusion & disappointment when they transfer from Long Haul J to Regional J after having maybe experienced Premium EY on another flight. Admittedly Regional J is 45" in pitch and is only six (A330) or 7 (B777) across vs. 38" pitch and 8 across on P-EY. Seat width is virtually identical.

IMHO Regional J has to be upgraded to a modern J Class ASAP or we will lose customers.

On the subject of P-EY - I wonder if the iJourney team could get on the front foot and announce the Staff travel procedures/fares etc for using it?

Looks like a great product - but lets have more consistency of product across ALL the fleet - after all we are meant to be a "Business" airline.

Any info/news on the new EY seats?
