Cathay Pacific's New Italian Inflight Catering

Had it two weeks ago on our return flights HKG - ORD. It was sea bass but a different preparation than the one pictures above. Sadly - it was awful. Much worse than the AirAsia buy on board meals I hate earlier that week.

But! It was just one dish. Maybe others are better.

FYI, Cathy Pacific will be flying Zurich daily starting from March 29, 2015

Alitalia serves great pasta in business class (as you would expect) - they come through with a pasta cart for the "primi" and you can choose which one you want (or have a bit of both).
I agree that usually on planes the pasta dishes just taste terrible, and the pasta is way over-cooked. The only exception may be when it's ravioli and other filled pasta, which is sometimes saved if the filling is delicious.

I flew CX from HKG to SFO yesterday. I had the new caviar presentation and the Tosca menu. I kept copies of the menu and will share as part of my detailed trip report via twitter (@Orlijr) This was part of my 50th, around-the -world flight which included many F products. Let me just say, hands down, Cathay is #1, better than Singapore. The food, the service and hard product is leagues ahead of all others. I am scouring the websites for F availability for Christmas.

Will be interesting to hear some additional reports on this but I'm annoyed as my gf and I fly CX F on 8/1!

So what happens to routes that previously had only the salmon and no caviar in the starter (YVR-JFK)?

Lucky,

I want to redeem a CX first class ticket using US Dividend miles. How far I can make the CX reservation through them? Is that 331 days out?

Thanks

@ Elite flyer -- That's a great question, haven't heard any reports from that sector yet.

@ Yang -- 335 days out:
