Hi everyone This is YKWOK!
Welcome to my first ever flight review. Today I will be flying Cathay Pacific CX 238 From London Heathrow to Hong Kong in Premium Economy Class. Hope you enjoy!
As a Oneworld elite member, I can enjoy the priority Business Class check-in, which able to save me a lot of time with massive queues.
However, during the check-in, I found that ground staffs in LHR were unsurprisingly rude, he refused my companion(MPC Green member) to entered the priority check-in, so she had to walk all the way back to the normal check-in, at this point, I wasn't furious but rather embarrassed
Boarding was slightly chaotic as usual in LHR, a lot of the Economy passenger was mislead by the long Priority queue.
Because I was also travelling with another MPC silver card holder, so we had priority boarding and I was the first person to entered the Premium Economy section.
After settling down, the purser served us with a welcome drinks (including wine and Juices) comes along with an adorable amenity kits and a menu
when the aircraft was taxing to the runway, I saw a couple of BA100's RETRO livery (including the BOAC and the old British Airways) …isn't it cool!?
Dinner was served right after taking off and Breakie was served an hour before touching down in HKG
For supper, I ordered Jasmine rice with lemon chicken, It actually tasted better than it looks
and for Breakie, I ordered the English Breakfast, and it was not bad, but personally think It could have been better
by the way… just wanna say that, despite Qantas, Cathay has the best airplane bread among the industry. I love them so much, haha.
The premium-economy seat looks slightly similar to the American domestic first-class seat, and you can tell it's larger than the regular economy seat, at 19.5 inches wide with 38 inches of pitch, also with a super generous recline.
And finally, here we are in HKG
Hope you guys like my first ever flight review:)
I'll be doing more flight review coming up, there will also be a list of flights that I will be reviewing down below so you will expect to see this hopefully in a very close future.
Again, thanks for reading and watching, hope to see you next time;)
Despite the very rude ground staff in LHR, the overall experience was very Cathay standard, which is pretty decent.

Thanks for sharing!
The catering fits very well the Y+ promise, above Y but not quite J like.
All in all a better overal impression than LH or AF offering.
However tho, Qantas has done way better than CX when it comes to the PEY meal ;)
It’s nice to see a CX Premium Economy report as there aren’t many out there! It seems like a very nice product overall and it seems the catering has been upgraded from previous reports I’ve seen. Your use of the term « breakie » reminds me of my travels to Australia —have you lived in Australia before? Also I wanted to point out that your name appears on your BP pic—you may want to blur that out.
