Cathay Pacific has just taken delivery of a new Boeing 777-330ER, the first aircraft to feature its Premium Economy Class product and new long-haul Economy Class seats.
From May, Premium Economy will be featured on selected flights on the Hong Kong to London route.
The new Premium Economy features a quieter, more spacious cabin than the traditional Economy Class with between 26 and 34 seats per aircraft.
The seat pitch is 38 inches – six inches more than Economy Class – and the seat is wider and has a bigger recline.
It has a large meal table, cocktail table, footrest, a 10.6-inch personal television, an in-seat power outlet, a multi-port connector for personal devices and extra personal stowage space.
Passengers will also benefit from priority check-in and priority boarding before Economy Class passengers, an increase in baggage allowance, a welcome juice and champagne, enhanced onboard meal selection, personal bottle of water and additional snack choices.
Passengers can book the Premium Economy seats for flights departing from 1 April onwards, which will initially be featured on some of the selected flights to Sydney, Toronto, Vancouver and New York.
