Cathay Pacific’s new First Class seat

Kong non-stops and should be available on the San Francisco and Los Angeles routes at the end of this month, but won’t be available fleet-wide until 2012. In First Class, major changes include suites with a personal wardrobe and a seat 14 inches wider. In Business Class, seats are now in a fishbone configuration to maximize personal space and give every passenger unrestricted aisle access. Width at the shoulder has been increased to 37 inches, and seats go from upright to flat bed at the push of a button. Cathay’s Business Class cabin is part of Amex’s 2-for-1 program, and the carrier is a partner in the Oneworld alliance and Starwood. Virtual tour at: www.cathaypacific.com/experience
