During my Aria Suite Adventure to Hong Kong, I flew Cathay Pacific’s Airbus A321neo business class on the 2hr50min flight from Hong Kong (HKG) to Seoul Incheon (ICN).

Perhaps my single favourite thing about the CX A321neo is the 4K IFE screen, and in the March 2025 issue of Cathay magazine there’s a feature on how they’ve invested in creating HDR content for them. I’m excited to fly it again at the end of the month! It’s amazing how CX continues to invest in its premium experience, both narrowbody and widebody, though I agree that flat beds (perhaps 1-1) should’ve been offered — especially as KE, JX and CI do so in Northeast Asia.
And Ben, you should consider flying the SQ 737 MAX some time soon, especially as it ensures fully flat beds for everyone in J, and is one of the few non-A321neo products in Asia to do so.
Rather they invest in a 1:1 business class on this plane like ITA managed to sort out.
I may be the only person who doesn't watch films on the plane tho
Very much appreciating the efforts not to describe every meal as “tasty”. Noted, and thank you.
Great review .
These is comparing Apple with oranges. Us airlines have ONE FA serving 20 passengers on the 321. Doing galley and aisle. Serving drinks, meals and refill request, while at it. A second FA sometimes come and help to pick up trays.
Half of the stuff you type reads like it would be in a PR marketing announcement for an airline.
When you going to come to the Philippines?
Manila does have some Hyatt hotels!
You know like Hong Kong is like very very close I the Philippines!
SQ fleet is nicer than CX. On most regional flights, SQ offers lie flat seats with direct aisle access, same ones use in long haul flights.
Are the colours between the A321neo and Aria a bit nuanced with subtle differences?
Proxi, surely suggesting that someone should consider flying any 737 MAX, is tantamount to inviting someone to play Russian roulette.
The worst thing of CX A321neo is the most important one — the seats, in both J and Y classes. SQ/JX/CI (and others) are way much better.
Amusing that you describe yourself as a Florida man... but I suppose that's very different from a Florida Man.
