Cathay Pacific Business Class: Is The Old Recliner Seat Still Worth Flying? | Taipei to Tokyo

Welcome back! In this video, I’m flying on ‪@cathaypacific‬’s Boeing 777-300 in their Business Class on a Fifth Freedom route from Taipei (TPE) to Tokyo Narita (NRT). This B777-300 features Cathay Pacific's older regional Business Class cabin, configured in a 2-3-2 seat layout. The hard product is dated, but can the famous Cathay Pacific service, incredible lounge, and high-quality dining make up for it? Watch my full review for a look inside the Cathay Pacific Lounge in Taipei and to find out the must-try items on the menu. See the full short-haul lunch service and my final thoughts on the overall soft product experience versus the dated hardware. I booked this flight for just 22,000 Qatar Airways Avios and $16.49 USD (500 TWD) If you want to learn more about my specific points booking process and how you can book flights like this, let me know!
