Thanks. But people tend to come here looking for their answers instead of where they should be looking at CX's website.

Anyway, I'd just like a consensus to see whether its feasible to have the lounge info here. The original CX lounge info was uplifted from CathayTalk's archives.

HiWasabi Tofu ! The reason it has not been updated is because - we don't know. That is why this thread is here - for people to let us know so that we can update the info!

A340-300 fleet (15 aircraft | 34B has the Olympus seats)
34B – 1 aircraft (HXC)

Currently being retrofitted into 34B: 1 aircraft (HXG)
An update. As the first CX aircraft with oneworld livery, B-HXG has already come out of the retrofit and is now in service. ^

Actually doesn't look that bad. IMO, OW blue and CX green don't really go together that well, though. OTOH, this looks much better than the pix of the OW BA 744 I've seen.

economy seating info
 
If I can chime in as a long-time lurker who finds info on IFE-box-legroom-invasion especially useful: Based on recent experience, section 5.4 is accurate for non-reconfigured 330s. But on a 33B, E and F in the middle block seem to have the box instead of D and G. Also, in this case the box appears to be a lower "bottom" on the seat in front, instead of an actual box that takes up one side of the leg space. Not sure about the side seat pairs.

Thanks. As the 33B is a relatively new aircraft type we haven't had much feedback on it. I'll be sure to add this info in my next update.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions, in particular re adding a section on Dragonair. I am beavering away on that when I have the time and hope to have it go live shortly.

Meanwhile the FAQs (destinations section) have been updated to reflect the capacity reductions that CX announced today.

Is the Olympus J seat power issue stated in the FAQ still exist or is it resolved?

I am using AA miles for a CX F ticket. Someone mentioned using the Asia Miles booking site to check for award space.

http://www.cathaypacific.com/cpa/en_US/RedemptionLogin

It appears that I have to have an Asia Miles account to use it - and that I have to pay $50 to get an Asia Miles account. Is there any workaround?
