Cathay Pacific Airways has taken delivery of a new Boeing 777-300ER – the airline’s 25th. It’s the first aircraft to feature its Premium Economy Class product and new long-haul Economy Class seats.
The
new Premium Economy experience features a quieter, more spacious cabin than the
traditional Economy Class, with between 26 and 34 seats per aircraft.
The seat
pitch is 38 inches –
six inches more than Economy Class – and the seat itself is wider and has a bigger recline. It has a large meal table, cocktail table,
footrest, a 10.6-inch personal TV, an in-seat power outlet, a multi-port
connector for personal devices and extra personal stowage space.
Passengers
will also benefit from priority check-in at dedicated counters and priority
boarding before Economy Class passengers, and an increase in baggage allowance
from 20kg to 25kg, or two pieces of baggage from 23kg to 25kg each. The new
long-haul Economy Class seat features
a cradle mechanism to enhance the level of comfort in the recline position, the
latest in high-resolution
touch-screen personal TVs, a USB outlet and an iPod/iPhone outlet that allows
passengers to connect their own mobile devices to view content through the
personal TV.
