Premium economy and reclining during the meal service
Has anyone had any experience with wanting to sleep during the meal service in Premium Economy? I often just want to go straight to sleep and I'm wondering if I'll have a problem with the flight attendants wanting me to put the seats up during the meal service like in normal economy.

I think that this would depend on the pitch between the seats when the seat in front is reclined. I recently travelled on BA in their new Premium Economy product and found that it wasn't a problem to eat when the person in front had reclined.
I've only glanced at Cathay's PE product, so I can't tell if this would be the case or not. Best approach would be just to recline and see what impact it has and be prepared to have to sit upright during the meal service.
Good on you for being so thoughtful though, many people wouldn't think about how they might be inconveniencing others ^
