New Business Class - NOT!

After a little investigating and route planning, Phil decided on Cathay Pacific, even though he had a 10 hour wait in Hong Kong. Cathay Pacifics Business Class seemed a decent way to travel and going Business Class you also had access to the Lounge in the airport, which would help with the 10 hour wait.

Arrived at Heathrow and the plane was overbooked and he was offered a stupid amount (an insult) to downgrade to Cattle Class which he refused. So off he goes into Business Class with the images shown on Cathays website. Here is what Cathay have to say about Business Class "Our new Business Class cabin redefines long-haul travel. The introduction of the new flat bed provides exceptional comfort and privacy while you relax. Of course, it can be easily adjusted to suit your every need. Personal space is further enhanced by moulded partitions and a new seating configuration which allows unrestricted aisle access from each seat. Other innovations include advanced technology and state-of-the-art design, putting everything within easy reach. The result is the ideal environment for a more comfortable and enjoyable flight."

Dont know what plane Phil got on but he didn't travel in that class! He was on the OLD style plane - no privacy, no tv!! "This innovative new layout enhances your comfort and privacy by defining your own private area" Not on this plane! "A larger 15" 16:9 personal TV screen and the Audio Video On Demand function lets you watch what you want, when you want. The integrated handset doubles as a personal phone" Not on this plane!

Not a happy traveller.
