Part 4: A view in the Business Class seating area

This is where you'll spend most of the time siting /sleeping at.

On the side, there is control of your entertainment remote, light, and fully electronic adjustable seating arrangement.

This is a extended length of your foot rest. It is so far that my feet is not anywhere nearby. However, once you put to flat bed, then you will be resting nicely across this space.

This is a side pocket for placing your items.

Enjoy your Business class flight in the air. :)

Part 3: Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific's Lounge

Hong Kong's Lounge is much larger than the one in Penang.

The lounge I visited is near the Gate 1-4. This lounge is huge with 2 floors. Lower floor include some internet surfing PC, small eateries, 8 or more shower area and sleeping sofa.

Upper floors includes much more. Easily expand up to 5000 sq ft. It includes 1 coffee bar, 1 noodle station, and all around having small eateries that is served as buffet style.

Here is a pic of Wonton Mee that only start serving from 7AM.

I didn't manage to capture any photos due to privacy reason however, here are some photos of the Private Shower area.

Very elegant design shower area, equipped with all the necessary toiletries. If the toiletries are not available in the room, you can request from the counter.

Stay tune for photos in the Business class 777 flight's photo.

Part 2: Journey of Business Class flight

In flight, whenever they serve any food, they will put a white cloth to cover the table. Then they starts with Yogurt and Fruits. Unlike economy where they will dump all the food on your tray at one go, Business class gives you the "course meal" type of feel. After you finished you fruits, then only they will serve the main course. Breakfast include a bread (garlic, croissant and etc) then with a main meal. 

The toilet also looks more class. With darker themed restroom, it gave the elegant and mysterious feel to the toilet experience. 

Before landing, I choose the Seafood porridge as my meal so that I don't eat too much. To my surprise, the porridge is filled with Big prawns and scallops, very delicious indeed.

Stay tune for Hong Kong's Lounge experience.

Sneak peak here to help you decide whether to take Business Class on Cathay Pacific Airline

I have been traveling economy class in flight for many times but rarely we have opportunities to fly Business class.

Due to work, I was given a chance to fly from Penang, Malaysia to United State. I'll share photos and experiences I had while on this trip.

In Penang International Airport, after you have cleared the Security check, go ahead and proceed to the left and up to Second Floor. There you will be greeted by two "Air Seward".

At the counter, providing the Free entrance ticket to the lady and you can enter into the Lounge.

This is a smaller version of the Lounge with 1 Restroom for Men and 1 for the Lady.

Inside, there is a buffer snack available with Mee Soup, pastries, fruits, drinks and more.
Overall, there are many seating areas from Bar cushion to low sofa. Charging area are right next to the chairs for your electronic charging convenience.








When it is time to board the plane, an announcement will be made in the public broadcast announcement and I went down the escalator and walk right to the gate and boarded the plane in less than 5 mins. Very convenient with no line, no waiting and absolutely no sweat at all,

Next, Look for Part 2 for the journey in the Plane.
