Cathay Pacific First & Business Class, 2 Seats

Transpacific premium cabin award space is still tough, so I wouldn’t hesitate to jump on this if you are planning a trip to Asia. You can even find three flights with space for two on some dates and there’s an Amex transfer bonus you can use!


If Hong Kong isn't on your list to visit, it's a great jumping off point if you want to visit Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, and many other destinations.

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.


Business class is arranged in a 1-2-1 reverse herringbone layout. The business class lounges are nice plus you can expect solid service and catering inflight.
