To answer your question, Cathay Pacific does not.

The answer to your other question is no too.

Which airlines do you know or have flown that provide overnight accomodation for economy passengers?

No idea why you have decided to format your posts in such a strange way either.

thank 4 correcting me ..
and these are the airlines that I meant :
Biman
Qater
Malaysia Airline
Emarets
Ethiad
Turkish
Royal Brunei

and other airlines that I didn't try but I heard some ppl say they provided a free hotel 4 them !

Thank you for adding this info

CX flies to KUL multiple times daily! It's not like you're going to a remote destination of theirs. Especially for a discount economy ticket, but even J or F would be suspect. 36 hours is almost 2 days! There has to be some common sense here. Otherwise CX would be bankrupt (or all our airfares would be 20%+ more expensive to accommodate all the people getting their vacations paid for by CX!). That has to be another $100+ USD in value, which I imagine is 15% or more of CX's base fare they're charging you. I'd love some tangible examples of airlines that provide this type of service because I know a lot of folks who would be interested. Say, fly to Europe ex-HKG via the Middle East but get a 36 hour all-inclusive stop-over to Dubai, Doha, etc.
no I'm not joking , I always do this just 2 get this chance 2 visit the transit country and becuz u don't know that dose not mean no one do ..
Biman airline did 4 me even I just paid 290$ but they provided a free hotel with 3 meals and driver all this with economy ticket =/
also Turkish Airline and Arabian Gulf Airlines also provide that
