Enjoy extra comforts
on long-haul journeys
12 December 2011 Dear Ladyboy Lover, Membership No.: 666 XXXX 666
As a member of The Marco Polo Club, we would like you to be one of the first to learn about Cathay Pacific's new Premium Economy Class being launched in March 2012. Our new class will offer you a premium experience with a range of tailored products not available in the existing Economy Class.

On the ground, you will have access to priority check-in at dedicated counters and priority boarding before Economy Class passengers – plus an increase in baggage allowance from 20kg to 25kg (weight system) or two pieces of baggage at 25kg (piece system).

In the air, you will have more privacy in a separate, smaller cabin located just before Economy Class – with no more than 34 seats. We've enhanced our inflight catering service with juice and champagne as welcome drinks, and we will be serving higher-quality meals. You'll receive some useful extras in our environmentally-friendly amenity kit, plus a larger pillow and a noise-cancelling headset for use during the journey – all designed to improve your on-board experience.

The new seats are wider and provide more room for you to stretch out with a seat pitch measuring 38 inches – six inches more than Economy Class – and extended recline. Additional comforts include a large meal table, cocktail table, footrest, 10.6-inch personal television, in-seat power outlet, multi-port connector for personal devices, and extra personal stowage space.

We will be progressively introducing our Premium Economy Class on long-haul flights, beginning with the Sydney, Toronto, Vancouver and New York routes, followed by London, Los Angeles, San Francisco, continental Europe, and other key routes as the number of aircraft fitted with the product increases. We plan to have 87 aircraft fitted with the new class by the end of 2013.*

We are also going to introduce a new long haul Economy Class. We will update you with more details on this and our new Premium Economy Class in February.
Yours sincerely,

Linda Sim
Manager The Marco Polo Club
*Our new Premium Economy Class is being progressively introduced on our Boeing 777-300ER, Boeing 747-400, Airbus A330-300 and Airbus 340-300 aircraft. Aircraft deployment varies and availability is subject to operational requirements.

Cool, I'm dying to see it IB.

No, the point of this thread was to make everyone aware of the new program coming soon from Cathay. Hopefully I'll be able to continue to use my FF miles to earn a cheap or nearly free RT Business Class seat, but I realize not everyone is as lucky so I thought it might be of interest.

I hope you know I was just kidding!
And thanks for giving all us mere mortals! a great tip!

Cheers,

Cathay will be taking strong notice of the Qantas premium economy class & also Air new Zealand (HKG-London is an Air New Zealand route) - its eating into their market share on many routes. Odds are it will end up looking something like this and delivered with cathay's excellent service. It should be a winning proposition for travellers from the USA, so long as they don't get too greedy on fares.

Cathay's service is great in my opinion! SF to HKG to BKK ... midnight or noon take your pick.

Sounds like a great new deal! The new "seat pitch" will be nice as well as the wider seats in case someone big sits next to you.

I have been happy with Cathay as well.
Has anyone flown Premium Economy with them?
How does it compare?
