Excellent. All well and accommodating. Clean and very good food. Peaceful travel experience

Always on time and flight crew were great. Boarding in Manila was a bit chaotic and disorganized compared to Incheon.

Never had a flight delay issue with Korean Air, that's why I always go with this airline.

Flight crew were very attentive and made this trip a pleasure. Plus the fact that this our first time flying business class.

Food choice could be better, plus the crew can walk around and offer snacks and drinks. Also the air-conditioning onboard blows high speed, and very cold makes the trip uncomfortable.

Always have great flight experience on Korean Air. Glad to have been able to book this on Kayak/Under Pricer this year!!

The food is always good and that flight was particularly good.

Absolutely wonderful,love the big clean plane specially the good food.

I took several flights that day, this was the only flight that was absolutely freezing!! It was so cold.

They destroyed my Michael Kors Carryon luggage, they didn’t announce that only check in the carry on and when we get inside a couple of room to put the carry on bag. I was disappointed and sad because of the damaged of my luggage. They should replace it or fixed it.

It was good and there is nothing to complain about .

It was fine but my trip from Narita Japan to L.A kind of mediocre because did not get the assigned window seat.

Great level of comfort and highly professional and friendly flight crew. Keep up the great service.

Good the crew was nice very kind and very helpful

We asked for Hindu vegetarian meal in advance and the quality of the food was horrendous. Never flying JAL again!

Very accommodating and kind airline crews. The plane is also big which makes the passengers more comfortable and relax

I actually didn’t make it onto the flight. I spent quite a few hours trying to rebook the flight just to get screwed out of $5000. Fun!

I said the boarding was just par with other airlines, but I can't think of a way to improve it.

Enjoyed all.. clean and FAs are very nice. Will most likely book again in the future.

serving nuts is great, but it would be even better if it was overnight roasted nuts.

Seat is too small. Food selection is limited and often ran out of selectable item.

The staff from beginning to end we're friendly and helpful. The food and beverages were quite good (but see the comment below). I also liked their entertainment options, as we'll as their frequent attention to the airplane restrooms. Here are the reasons this is not a 5-star review: - You have to pay for WiFi on the plane unless you have some level of seat upgrade. - CP sent me a warning that the name I entered to book didn't match my passport. True, but the form for entering my name didn't allow for anything but a middle initial. This lead to a lot of chats, phone calls and stress before finding out at the ticket counter that it didn't matter. CP has modified their notice to now tell you this key bit of info. - After consuming a chicken dinner they offered (Kathmandu to Hong Kong), I developed symptoms entirely consistent with salmonella, beginning about 6 hours later. There were some odd things about the serving of this meal, too. Our row was the last one served, and we were given a tray without the entree on it. About 10 minutes later the stewardess came by and said they only had one chicken meal left. My seat mate and I decided he would have the lamb and I would take the chicken. I think I lost. I suspect that this entree was left over from an earlier flight and they were scrambling to get the last row fed. My seat mate and I were the last two to receive our entrees. I am not accusing CP of giving me a contaminated meal - just that the onset and progress of symptoms closely match those of salmonella poisoning. I opted out of the first meal on the next flight 13 hours later, but was fine after that.

More meal choice. There was only pork, beef and shrimp. I could not eat any of it and they had no alternatives

The only notable problem was bathroom facilities. Only one toilet for far too many people, and dirty nearly all the time. Both otherwise, Cathay Pacific is great. Wonderful staff everywhere.

The worst experience ever! Lots of flight delays and rerouting that ended up doubling the total time. . I had to recheck my luggage because I was rerouted to Tokyo and ended up on ANA flight. I missed connecting flight twice because of the delay at Cathy Pacific. Additional stop added, rerouted to a different country for connecting flight and ended up in long waits and delays.

I didn't see any flight attendants offer coffee or green tea. There was regular drink service but after a short meal was served didn't notice that happening.

Short staffs, I ask stewardess to bring me cognac twice during dinner but they didn't bring it!

Mediocre. Nothing special. Bad airline food Never received the food I requested Slow response from ground staff concerning my wheelchair. I was left at a holding area and had to walk the distance to the gate. In Hong Kong

My biggest complaint is the comfort and no good movies to choose from. My headphones didn't work either. 😔

Everything went smooth. All flights were on time No changing gates, . No changing flights . It was like a completely different airlines tha n the last time I used Cathay Pacific . The last flight, 2 months ago, I had before this one was from Philippines also . I got changed in Manila and was told it only added 2 hours onto my flight . My 20 hour return trip ended up being 30 hours return with a 10.0 hour layover in New York with no seats anywhere . Everyone was sleeping or sitting on the floor . Unlike the hotel I was given in Manila to wait for this flight home . I never thought I would use Cathay Pacific again . But I did and this time you were great! I should have complained about the flight and layover from Hell a couple months ago. Consider that I am complaining about that august/23 flight now . Thank you got the great flying experience on my way home from philippines .

The seat that I got this time is really good.

UA594 was delayed multiple times. I ended up getting picked up so I can make it in time for work 6AM on Monday, 7/6/2026

The Manila airport was under renovation so there was no business class lounge. The double security check was disorganized and the flight attendants were grouchy.

The head flight attendant made the trip excellent. He was very accommodating.

Horrific. They missed my connecting flight to San Diego. I didn’t get there until Monday at 9am when I had a mandatory court settlement conference scheduled at 6am since we had parties on the east coast. This caused many issues. All because United apparently forgot to hold the doors open until my flight landed that only had a 10 minute delay. This was the last flight to Southern California. So I couldn’t even rent a car to finish the trip. United cannot be trusted when traveling on specific days and times since weather didn’t have anything to do with the delays.

Was a pain having to leave the plane and reboard but glad the plane was fixed

Connecting flights were poor,especially in Naples.our Lufthansa air bus was a joke.way too small for that long of a flight.no room at all.couldn’t even get out of the seats to move around or go to the bathrooms.we thought we were getting an actual air bus,double decker.i will never fly that long in a plane like that again.kind of misleading to call it an air bus.we actually had more room on our buses that we used.

Our seat tv didn’t work All the rest was perfect

For a 22 minute flight all you expect is for it to be safe and comfortable

I like that it was a direct flight from MNL to SFO but it was such an old plane with worn out facilities. I bought my ticket in first week of November but I still had to pay extra $54 just to get aisle seat 38C. Realizing it was a long 12+ hour flight, I tried to find exit row or bulk head seat but none was available. I was forced to pay another extra $175 to get seat 35C which was shown as "Economy Plus" which I expected to be more legroom, more seat recline and better food. When I reached seat 35C, it wasn't any different from an ordinary economy aisle seat, to my utter dismay! No extra legroom, not extra degree recline, no better food, not even slippers! I felt cheated paying extra $229 and didn't get the supposedly better "ECONOMY PLUS" 35C seat! Besides, I still had to board in group 5! Toilets weren't kept clean and dry. More senior flight attendants weren't as attentive and prompt during meal service. Many times they brushed the carts right into my shoulder or knee. To help them out, I also had to walk up to the galley to get water myself. Now I worry about my return DEN/NRT which I paid extra $300 for United Premium Plus 21C if it is indeed Premium Plus!
