Food isn’t hot, seat is too tight even for a person weight 120 lbs.

Food isn’t hot, seat is too tight even for a person weight 120 lbs.

The plane was dirty, the seats were torn and broken, the service was the most terrible ever, the bathroom dirty, they will not even serve water you had to request it, the meals were terrible, overall less than Zero, I will never fly Cathay Pacific again.

Good good, good seat, good entertainment system. Customer service is good but can be more polished if CX charges a premium price.

Frequently flyer number should and could have been put on at the time of booking as I gave the number when booking.

The crew and the food were excellent. The plane was kept quite clean.

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.

when i ask for help all the crew members had a look like why are you calling me? very terse and rude.

After each meal was served I didn't see any flight attendant offer coffee or tea to the passengers after the initial drinks were offered. Other flights I had been one it was standard procedure to offer hot drinks after the meal service.

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.
