Cathay Pacific is based in Hong Kong, running a super-hub at the large and modern Hong Kong International Airport.

The airline operates flights to 92 destinations worldwide and a range of convenient connection flights to more than 30 Asian cities, with special offers and cheap airfares often available.

With regular flights between London and Hong Kong, there is a range of classes and airfares to suit a wide range of passengers. Major Travel can help you find the cheapest Cathay Pacific airfares and the best deals around.

Cathay Pacific was one of the founding members of the oneworld airline alliance, which makes it part of a global flight network with connections to more than 135 countries and more than 570 destinations, allowing it to offer even more great value airfares.

The airline was founded in Hong Kong in 1946 and legend has it that the company's American founders thought up its unusual name when they were at the bar at the Manila Hotel.

Cathay Pacific runs its flights with one of the youngest and most modern fleets of aircraft in the skies, with an average age of just seven years old. The airline has ordered 48 new aircraft since 1997, each with a hefty price tag.

By September 2006, Cathay Pacific will have 100 aeroplanes, including Airbus A340-600 long-haul aeroplanes, Airbus A340-300s and several Boeing 747s and 777s.

Known worldwide for its high quality flights and services, in 2006 alone, Cathay Pacific has so far received awards including Best Airline of the Year in the OAG Awards, Top Emotive Brand from the Yahoo! Emotive Brand Awards and Airline of the Year from Air Transport World magazine.

Passengers have the chance to get extra value from their airfare with Cathay Pacific's Marco Polo Club, founded more than 36 years ago, which offers the opportunity to earn airmiles from Cathay Pacific flights as well as flights from partners in the oneworld alliance.

Club members can also enjoy dedicated counters, Cathay Pacific airline lounge access for silver tier members and above, and excess baggage allowance for elite tier members.

Those travelling economy class with Cathay Pacific will be able to enjoy great entertainment from individual seat-back TVs, so you can choose what you want to watch and stay entertained all through the flight.

Cathay Pacific business class features extra benefits such as a seat which stretches flat and an enhanced entertainment system, while first class customers can experience the luxury of a privacy screen, noise-cancelling headsets and fine dining during their flight.

Online check-in is also available, allowing passengers to check in anywhere in the world, up to 48 hours before the flight, which can save waiting in airport check-in queues.

In September, Cathay Pacific will mark the 60-year anniversary of its foundation with a special celebration in Hong Kong, featuring games, prizes and a fashion show of uniforms through the ages.

First Class - Introducing the Best Seat in the House
At the heart of our new First Class is the seat. Apart from being among the longest and widest in the sky, the First Class seat can quickly and easily extend into a full-length bed. Privacy screens on the aisle side - and also between the centre seats, transform your seating area into a secure and very cozy "bedroom". For extra comfort, you will receive luxury duvets, pillows and, for the ultimate in slumber comfort, a "sleepsuit".

Your First Class seat has a pitch of 79 inches, is 22 inches wide between the armrests, has a bed width of 25 inches, and can recline 180 degrees into a completely flat bed.

Business Class - Where Comfort is Essential
The Business Class seat is designed for optimum comfort, with a special lumbar cushion to support your back, an adjustable head-rest with special wings for added privacy and comfort, as well as two footrests – on your seat and the seat in front of you. In addition, the seat on all long haul flights has a 60" pitch that allows you to stretch out and relax in style. With the introduction of the New Business Class, you will feel even more relaxed with the new seating arrangement. Still carrying the 2-3-2 layout, there are only 3 rows of seats in the cabin downstairs to give you extra space. The Z-shaped seat is now wider (20.5"), longer (just over 75") and indeed, even more comfortable! The headrest is adjustable 6 ways and the lumbar support 4 ways. Pillows are now reversible and much larger in size. Cathay Pacific also added a personal reading light (with adjustable direction and brightness), and a personal water bottle holder to ensure you have a comfortable journey.

Economy Class with a Difference
Cathy Pacific believe that it's the little things - like offering you a choice of inflight cocktails, giving you deluxe amenity kits on long-haul flights, and providing Chinese speaking staff on each and every flight - that make the difference, and the Economy Class the finest in the skies.

Once in the sky, you can sit back and enjoy your own personal TV. There are 25 channels to choose from -- everything from sports and news, to movies and shows. There's also Cathay KIDZ, as well as special movies and features for children. In fact, up to 86 hours of non-stop entertainment awaits you - with interactive onscreen information available in English, and Chinese.
Cathay Pacific 747 Plane
In Economy Class, you also enjoy a great selection of food and beverages. A variety of regional dishes as well as snack foods (such as ice cream and cup noodles) are available on selected flights. Sparkling wine, hot and iced oolong tea and soya milk are just a few of the many beverages they offer you in the air.
