Cathay Pacific A330 BUSINESS CLASS Flight Review & Hong Kong Oneworld Lounge Tour - CX729 HKG-KUL

Welcome to Hong Kong! It's time to make the journey back home to Kuala Lumpur onboard Cathay Pacific's Airbus A330, featuring the airline's lie-flat regional Business Class cabin.

Before we get onboard, let's explore three of the fantastic Oneworld Lounges on offer in Hong Kong, namely Cathay's The Deck and The Pier with their iconic Noodle Bar, and the Qantas' lounge with it's signature cocktails!

Time for boarding, and we settle in to the Safran Cirrus II with a Cathay Delight and a warm towel. A beautiful departure with the symphony of the RR Trent 700 is followed up with a glass of Champagne Ayala and some warm nuts to begin the inflight service.

I'll take you through a tour of the seat itself, all its various controls and functions and most importantly the lie-flat bed mode. After a couple of hours of rest, it's time for dinner! A superb dining experience awaits, with delicious options and wine pairings, and a surprisingly extensive dessert selection from the trolley.

All too soon, it's time for our arrival into Kuala Lumpur. One last highlight, the MH BMW i7 Private Transfer makes the arrival process much more efficient and brings the journey to a close.
