I flew Cathay’s PE to Hong Kong yesterday morning (my first time on CX) and I have to say I’m underwhelmed. The only really good thing about it is the seat (which is very comfortable, but so is Qantas’).
Main negative points: there were less than ten of us in the cabin, which has a capacity of 28 I think yet the service was the same as you get in Y, with the exception of a glass of orange juice before takeoff (no champagne). Not even a sparkling wine at lunch. Nobody came through the cabin offering drinks intra-mealtime and for some reason despite the 7:30am departure, the cabin was kept dark for the entire trip.
The food was definitely straight out of economy, as were the wines (I flew on to Singapore in Economy class later in the day and was served the same wines).
Also, I had been expecting to be able to borrow a cord to connect my iPad to the in-flight entertainment system (I know they are meant to have these on board). The first two crew didn’t know what I was talking about, and the third did but said they don’t have any and apologised.
I’m not generally a Qantas fan, but I much prefer the service and quality of meals/beverages on Qantas’ PE service.
Does anyone else have any thoughts?
