Cathay Pacific business class is considered a good — borderline great — choice by most bloggers and reviewers. Like many Asian airlines, Cathay Pacific has great service. Their reverse herringbone seats are generally considered comfortable, as well. Food and drink is good, but nothing special. While the average WiFi review is low, this is driven by older reviews; more recent reviews report acceptable WiFi. Poor bedding is the only consistent issue across reviews. We have noted a generally lower average level of detail in Cathay Pacific business class reviews, so consider additional research before booking.
