Cathay Pacific – Hong Kong’s Premium Flag Carrier
Cathay Pacific secured third place in the 2025 Skytrax World’s Best Airline rankings, climbing impressively and winning awards for World’s Best Economy Class and World’s Best Inflight Entertainment. As Hong Kong’s flag carrier, it connects over 200 destinations across Asia, Europe, North America, and beyond with a fleet of nearly 200 modern aircraft.
Cathay excels across cabins: Aria Suites in Business Class feature sliding doors and lie-flat beds; Premium Economy offers enhanced comfort; and Economy provides extra legroom (up to 32 inches), superior meals (often Michelin-inspired), and the industry’s best entertainment system with vast content and noise-canceling headphones. The airline’s lounges in Hong Kong are world-class, and its Marco Polo Club loyalty program is highly regarded.
Post-pandemic recovery has seen fleet upgrades, network expansion (new routes to Rome, Munich, Brussels, Dallas), and sustainability focus with SAF adoption and carbon-offset programs. Cathay’s emphasis on Asian hospitality, reliability, and digital innovation makes it a top choice for value-driven luxury.
