Cathay Pacific Asia Miles - Which routes/flights still have ORBC?

All the flights I've been on have either NBC or NRBC, so I was just wondering... which routes/flights still have ORBC? Apporximately how many of them are still ORBC-equipped and when will they be replaced with NRBC?

By the way, how does ORBC compare to the NRBC? Some have reported that the ORBC has more comfy seats. I haven't been on ORBC lately, so...

Thanks in advance ^

All long haul routes on 747s, 340-300s, 340-600s and 3 class 330-300s have the new Business Class. There are a few aircrafts circulating around reginal flights with the Blue business class seats. And a few B777s with the new Regional Business Class seats.

This topic has been repeated time and time again. Do a search please, next time.

CX however will launch a new Business and First class seat when the new 777-300ERs come on line.

CX750 and CX751 usually have ORBC. I prefer that to the NRBC.

CX731, 733, 732, 730 still come with ORBC. other regional route will have this too subject to rotation. i was flown in the ORBC when i came back from BKK last month.

CX735 also... just flew it yesterday.

It's not predictable. I got upgraded to ORBC this week on CX918 MNL-HKG, but the outbound CX903 (on which I wasn't upgraded :( ) had NRBC. Both were A330s.

I second that... got moved to J in old (CX735), on the way back on (CX734)then they suppose to block my seat which they didn't... and I protested at the person/crew wanting the seat next to me... that lady who checked me told me the seat next to me was blocked... it really peeved me off :mad: ... now I know.. all blocks are not 100%...

Back in March I rang Marco Polo, to confirm 3 extra blocked seats for me HKG -LAX on an empty CX884 - so I would have 4 seats to myself. It was confirmed that they were blocked at check-in as well.

Once I got onboard those seats were all occupied - very dissappointing.

I think the flight attendent moved them rather than being assigned the seat.

Turned out to be an awful flight - the couple next to me couldn't keep their hands off each other the whole flight. They were constantly kissing each other, and the woman stank!

Blocked seats are always a "best efforts - consider yourself lucky if it happens" benefit. If you want to be sure of the space then pay for two seats or upgrade.

The interloper will always have the advantage. I don't think I could bring myself to tell someone that the seat they just occupied was supposed to have been blocked for me!
