Upon departure from HK, you are entitled to use Cathay's renowned FIRST Class lounge. It will simply blow you away. you'll find out for yourself!
On board, you'll discover why Cathay is slowly creeping up the ladder as having one of the best inflight service around. Certainly in my opinion, better than BA's inflight food and entertainment. Except for seats, which CX will be improving on slowly this year, no other Oneworld carrier comes close.
Enjoy.

i 2nd guy betsy's comments.
in addition,
i suppose you would fly thr' LHR?
if so, for all flights hkg-lhr, they offer free limousine service from airport to downtown. reserve it with BA before you board the plan

You will most probably get a visit from the inflight service supervisor. They normally stop by to say hi and have a chat with Emerald members no matter what class of travel.

Hi All,
Thanks for the tips, the in-flight service was as most of you stated perfect, as a change to what I'm used to the ground service was perfect as well (pre assigned upper deck etc...). I especially liked the visit from the CSD (as I was the only one on upper deck to get a visit...)
