Flights booked to Hong Kong and Sydney
Well next month is going to be an amazing month of travelling for me. I have just recieved confirmation of my flights to Hong Kong and Sydney from eBookers, after spending hours trawling the aggregators they had the cheapest Cathay Pacific flights. eBookers also allow you to search for multi-stop flights. The only problem is that we couldn’t choose our seats, which means we will have to get to the airport extra early. I normally leave for the airport at the last possible moment. This means that in one month, actually within 8 days, I will have travelled to Venice, Hong Kong and Sydney.
We are off to Venice for 4 days then we are back for a day before departing to Hong Kong to spend 4 days there and then heading off to Sydney. Having no idea when I will return. I can’t wait.
We are flying with EasyJet as per usual to Venice, but to Hong Kong we are flying with Cathay Pacific, does anyone have any experience with these guys? We took their flights as they were the cheap which means we have more money for travelling, and their new economy class looks really good. Our first flight with them is on a Airbus A343 followed by the Airbus A330. Unfortunately no double decker A380 for me unlike my friend Nick.
More to come 🙂

Sounds great! I got a sweet Valentine’s Day offer at Lufthansa for plane tickets to Milan, so I’ll be in Venice as well, but in August. I keep dreaming about a 2 week trip to SE Asia (Singapore, Malaysia and especially Hong Kong), and then flying to Australia. That would be the ultimate trip for me.
I could probably handle the veeery long flight, but the price is still quite high. But I’m not giving up, so I better start saving! 😉
P.S. Where are you from, Alex?

I’ve flown on them before for many times and for the most part they are pretty good. The studioCX has lots of entertainment options, and as a passenger you also get an amenity kit (fairly basic) and a copy of the menu (which is nice). In the lavatory, they sometimes also have special Cathay Pacific combs which are wrapped in plastic for sanitation.
Food’s okay for the most part, and there are many snacks. The seat has a “faux recline” where the bottom of the seat moves forward, and then the seat back cushion (as the back is completely hard and doesn’t move) makes the angle and moves down a bit.
If you want to see some more photos and my experience on the new product you can see here:
