“The worst”
Review of Cathay Pacific


Reviewed 31 May 2024

The most terrible experience. 14 hours of flight in an old plane, rude Stewards terrible food and even worse costumer service. They lost my luggage and I had to struggle to recuperate it. I flew economy premium and the money I spent was a waste.
I spent over $150 to recuperate the luggage they lost and no customer service at all nothing. I was a mistake I will never fly with them again or any one world member

Whoever left bad reviews for this airline must have never flew with delta, jetblue, united, or American airlines from NYC area. First time on cathay to fly to Thailand but I wish the other airlines provided the same friendly service, meals, wine, blanket, pillow, overhead headphones! Never seen anything like it since the 90s. Would definitely fly with them again!

In my opinion Cathay Pacific have the worst booking system in the world. They took my booking over the net, and took my money, and then they let you know that you can’t select your seat until 24 hours before the flight. Then they say that if you become a Cathay member then you can book your seat 48 hours before the flight. So I became a member and their bloody app still won’t let me book a seat until 24 hours before the flight. They don’t give out contact details and I think that their whole bloody system is as customer friendly as a bad smell.

Very poor service food was awful very bland
Given a complimentary drink in a paper cup
For the price we paid $5000 each not worth the money. There are much better airlines
However the only good thing was the staff very nice.
