Cathay Pacific First to New York JFK

Cathay Pacific First Class Hong Kong to New York JFK

Excited to be back in Cathay Pacific First Class and today’s 16 hours flight to JFK. Sure it’s dated but Cathay’s classic 6 seat First cabin is still very comfy with one of the best beds in the sky. Wonderful service today with great champagnes and some nice wines. The only negative is a rather weak menu, sadly a far cry from pre-Covid Cathay which was fantastic.

A great way to start the flight.

Very nice and comfy JPs and in my favorite color.

That's a meh on the amenity kit.

Today's wonderful wine list.

Oh, and menu...

Once in the air, the spectacular 2004 Krug... and I'm the only one drinking today!

Showtime: Cathay First Style.

Drunken prawns with aged Huadaio wine.  Meh.

Another wonderful Bordeaux

Wok fried seafood in lobster broth, crispy and steamed rice, spring onions and ginger.  Delicious.

Bed time in one of the most comfy beds in the skies.

Time for breakfast.

Wonderful fruit starter.

And dim sum.

Breakfast congee.

A few hours later, Cathay burger.  Meh.

Some wonderful scenery as we approach JFK.   Mackinaw Bridge and Island in Michigan's UP.

And Ontario's western coast of Lake Huron.

What a wonderful 16 hour flight from Hong Kong.
