Cathay Pacific First Class for 2 from LAX


Once I sent the JFK space, I figured I'd check LAX as well. 

Well, Cathay has opened up a nice chunk of first class space on their LAX too. This could be an better option if you live on the west coast or in he midwest.

Flight Experience


Cathay's first class cabin is arranged in a 1-1-1 layout so everyone has direct aisle access and a massive lie-flat seat. The bedding is some of my favorite in the sky. You can expect a solid meal and great champagne. If you fly out of Hong Kong, make some time for a lounge visit and check out The Pier
