Child seat
guys - i'm flying JFK-HKG soon on J with a child under 2 so only had to pay taxes for him. If I don't make any special requests, can I assume he'll be served the regular adult meal choosing from the menu and not a kids meal
Thanks
Thanks

Infant meal (puree selection) is available, or, you can request a child meal by contacting CX well in advance of your flight.
Lap infant won't get their own adult meal in J.
As someone who has done many many many sectors with infants, I recommend going the children's meal route unless your bub is <9months - then go for the infant meal.

well my child has only eaten adult meals since 6 months old and not hearing good things about cathay's child meals which has some fried stuff. Disappointed that they won't give a proper adult meal in J
Do they usually have extra meals on-board on this sector that they may give an extra only for the protein part of the meal
Also if I request a child meal, do I still get my regular adult meal?

why should lap infant not purchasing a seat be entitled to full adult meal? i never expected for it... i just asked for extra bread
infant meal is just a commercial baby food sold at supermarkets... they bring you 2 unopened servings
child meal is like tray with kiddy food like pasta ot chicken nuggets... i actually once thought child meal was better than adult econ meal (i atr all nuggets)... so a child meal is a proer portion meal you can go for
you shoulr get ur.own serving even if your kid has child meal

yes that's right. Just in my case, the taxes came so close to just paying a full fare seat that I feel I made a mistake by not just buying a seat for him
It's good to know that even if I order a child meal for the kid, I still get my own regular meal

Does CX provide child meals to infants? I suggest you check with CX or carry your infant's meal with you.
