Cathay puts on sale its new Premium Economy experience

A brand new “Premium Economy Class experience” is being introduced by Cathay Pacific Airways on 1 April

Passengers can now book seats on selected Hong Kong flights to/from Sydney, Toronto, Vancouver and New York.  In May the Premium Economy cabin will become available on the London route.

The “Premium Economy experience” features a more spacious cabin than Economy with between 26 and 34 seats per aircraft.  Seat pitch will be 38 inches – six inches more than Economy Class – and the seat itself will be wider and have a bigger recline.  It will have a large meal table, cocktail table, footrest, a 10.6-inch personal television and an in-seat power outlet.  Passengers will also benefit from priority check-in at dedicated counters and precedence on boarding before Economy Class passengers.  The baggage allowance increases from 20kg to 25kg and passengers will be welcomed aboard with juice and champagne, and enjoy an enhanced onboard meal selection.

Additional markets will come online later in the year including Adelaide, Los Angeles, Melbourne and San Francisco in August, Frankfurt in September and Brisbane and Mumbai in October. www.cathaypacific.com
