On the 13 of July 2010, Cathay first flight from Hong Kong to Moscow.
The flight wasn't on a high loads, so is pretty comfort by having four seats in a roll to myself and my partner.

Nothing special to celebrate at the gate, just a picture taken by the airline company

The aircraft B-HXE for tonight's flight 207

A small gift (Matryoshka doll) to all passengers for flying on the first flight to DME

The cabin

Dinner tasted pretty good for both choice!

Having a couple hours of sleep, is time for breakfast before landing at DME
The breakfast was awful, is hard to explain in words.

Conclusion

I don't often fly with Cathay Pacific airways even though i'm living in Hong Kong. The service on this flight is pretty good (However they don't provide the same standard of service on their short haul flights). A matryoshka doll and a first flight certificate have been given to passengers which is great.

Thank you for sharing this report with fantastic pictures.

I agree with you about the breakfast. I also think it is a bit cheap not to serve a hot breakfast on an international route.
