New York JFK to Hong Kong

Cathay Pacific CX845 | JFK/HKG
Business Class
Boeing 777-300ER
Lounge: British Airways Terraces Lounge

I had a long wait of about 4 hours in the British Airways lounge which Cathay Pacific contracts with. It was a pleasant lounge but there wasn't anything substantial to eat.

HKG/JFK was the third longest commercial airline flight in the world at the time at almost 16 hours. It was my first transpolar flight, and my first on a 777-300ER. This was also my first time in the much maligned high walled Business Class in the herringbone layout. Detractors claim that the seat is like a coffin. Overall, I didn't think it was as bad as people said it was. I liked the privacy, but it was felt very open from the aisle, and it was odd to face away from the window. There was also very little storage space. Czytaj więcej
