Cathay Pacific???
 

Any good or bad reports on CP recently? Never travelled with them but they're coming up cheapest for a quick trip to the UK. If I've got to go then I'll deal with what I get but thought I'd check.

Don't know about recently, but they were always good before (better than qantas), and you get to stopover in Hong Kong if you want to.

Have you checked http://www.airlinequality.com/Forum/cathay.htm ?

Re: Cathay Pacific???
 

I've used them, they are good.

Re: Cathay Pacific???
 

Thanks. Although being thought of as better than QANTAS tells me nothing :lol: We'll find out Sunday.

Re: Cathay Pacific???
 

Sometimes they have great fares. They're one of two low price options for us back to Canada.

Re: Cathay Pacific???
 

I got a really good deal at short notice to the UK with Cathay a couple of years ago.

For $1400 return (in June), I was prepared to put up with anything. As it happens, they were perfectly good. No complaints at all.

The slides look fun.

I search for "Cathay Pacific Ugly Stewardess" first.

I'm in that kind of mood.

Re: Cathay Pacific???
 

They used to be good. Have they removed the shell seats that got a lot of complaints? Cathay and BA have applied to code share to Australia.

You must be looking at the wrong pics, they're definitely not in her ears

Re: Cathay Pacific???
 

Now why would you have been googling that ......

an Easter Bunny fantasy.

Re: Cathay Pacific???
 

A few people I know are pilots for Cathay, like their fathers before them. I would fly without hesitation.

Re: Cathay Pacific???
 

Can you tell I used to be part of the Cathay 'family'?!!!

Re: Cathay Pacific???
 

Flown with them to and from the UK a couple of times, lovely airline, polite staff, good food. No hesitation about flying them again :)

Re: Cathay Pacific???
 

Well that's something to look forward to I guess. Feeling sick as pig right now, just want it all done with. A decent flight makes it a tad more bearable. I think. Possibly.

Advice from one who has been there and done it, especially for the sake of the girls of not yourself :)
If you can, make sure that your booking has a note on it about the reason for the flight - even if you ask at check-in - it can make life easier if you are stuck with any delays, baggage issues etc. An airline like Cathay will look after you. Just ask for a flag on all the bookings as "compassionate".
Also once on board make sure that whichever crew are looking after your area are aware. This is possibly more for the girls - if you fall asleep and they are upset, someone will look out for them. I travelled with BA and JAL when my Dad passed away and the crew were wonderfuil, concerned, offering extra drinks, coffee etc, and even offered to have a crew member with me during the flight transfers in Singapore & Tokyo. JAL did do an upgrade from Tokyo to brisbane as well on compassionate grounds.

Hope its not too traumatic <<hugs>>

Hope your trip goes smoothly MP. Hugs.

Have heard exceptional reports from people travelling Cathay Pacific
:)

Re: Cathay Pacific???
 

Wasn't particularly impressed with the outward journey but they got us here so won't grumble too much as I have better things to grumble about. Not looking forward to the return flight though.

Re: Cathay Pacific???
 

They were good. I swilled for Britain all the way to Aus and they never complained once, just kept it coming. I was in economy tho and it was very cramped leg wise

Re: Cathay Pacific???
 

I flew with Cathay Pacific a few years ago and I have no complaints. Good clean plane and helpful friendly staff. I wouldn't hesitate in flying with them again.

Re: Cathay Pacific???
 

They were ok. The check in staff and ticketing woman at Heathrow were fricking awesome. The check in woman at Brisbane was a bitch but I'm nice so I assume she was just having a bad day. However considering the price and availability at the time they did what it says on the tin. Freebie toothpaste and brush would have been nice though.
