My first time in Cathay Pacific was 2017 from Copenhagen to Manila Philippines,I was amazed, from the staff and food, all are great. Then last year 2023,from Madrid to Manila still the same comfortable and smooth flight I had. Always recommended.

Legroom on flight was very poor. I'm 6ft tall and I don't know how taller people would manage. I've no complaints about the food as that was OK. On landing I was just so cramped for 17 hours. I ached for the next 24 hours. I would not like this experience again.!!

Here, I want to share my unpleasant experience with Cathay Pacific. I recently took a business trip using Cathay Pacific to fly from Pittsburgh, PA, USA to Shanghai, China, traveling more than 30 hours, with two transfer stops, Flight AA4352 to JFK Airport, CX841 to Hong Kong Airport, and CX380 to Shanghai Pudong Airport. I had booked an expensive hotel, about 27 miles from the airport, for a very important business meeting on February 24th, 2024. When I arrived in Shanghai Pudong Airport on February 23rd, I found my luggage didn't come with Flight CX380. I made numerous calls to their customer service, hoping to get my luggage by noontime of February 24th so that I wouldn't miss the business meeting scheduled several weeks ago. Their customer service told me the luggage would arrive on the 24th morning and promised they would deliver it to my hotel once it arrived. However, the following morning, when I called their customer service, I was told my luggage had arrived, but they couldn't find anyone to deliver it to my hotel immediately! I then called their customer service again and again to beg them to find ways to give my luggage back by noontime as they promised. But my luggage wasn't delivered until late evening time! Due to the severely delayed delivery of my luggage, which contained all my business documents and suits for the meeting, I had to cancel the meeting, causing me to lose the entire day with two nights at the hotel for CNY4384.00 (about UAD600) I tried to reach their claim office to claim my loss due to their fault in service. After writing many emails and waiting more than two months, Cathay Pacific made a unilateral settlement offer of CNY600 (USD83), which is baseless and unacceptable! I tried to make my argument, but they said this was a final settlement, which I refused. It was my first time using Cathay Pacific, and my last time too. I will NEVER trust Cathay Pacific again in the future!
