FWIW, I have redeemed a large amount of Cathay Pacific first class awards over the years. Probably over 25 flights. I took Cathay, Hong Kong to LAX about a month ago, and maybe it’s just me, but it seems like Cathay F is going downhill. The service seemed watered down. The employees seemed like they were just going through the motions. I can’t help but wonder if the mileage hoarding, buying with bonuses through AS etc etc... And then people redeeming them on CX has made the product not as great. Not to mention CX is not really actively investing in their F class. In fact aren’t there rumors they will get rid of F?
