Conclusion

The flight of CX which is sightly improve. The cabin is comfortable and the seat is comfy for the long haul flight.
On the other hand, the flight crew is polite and let us feel like family.
Overall, B777-300(ER) is a nice plane for this flight. But sadly heard that, CX may use 3-4-3 layout of B777-300
and B777-300(ER) later.

  • Thank you for your report.

    A Kosher meal seems bigger than a usual meal(Snack?) and interesting experience. How does it taste??

    I would like to try it on the upcoming flight.

    • Sorry for my late reply.

      A kosher meal is bigger than a usual meal. The usual meal is including a pastry, the shortbread and a pack of lemon tea.

      The taste of Kosher meal is fine and have bigger portion than a usual meal.

  • Do you need to be a jew in order to have a kosher meal? Will the airline check? Thanks!
