3. Wear a face mask

COVID-19 is spread mainly through respiratory droplets from the mouth and nose. In order to limit the chances of spreading infectious droplets, it is now a mandatory requirement for Cathay Pacific passengers to wear a face mask during their journey. This includes immigration or security queues at the airport, and at all times onboard a plane, except for when eating or drinking.

4. Clean your area

Airlines have all ramped up their cleaning practices. Cathay Pacific planes are now thoroughly disinfected between each flight by professional cleaning teams, and the cabin air is sterilised with the same filters used in hospital operating rooms. But there’s no harm in wiping down your personal area for added peace of mind. That’s why, during the flight, you will be provided with a personal care kit to help maximise hygiene measures.
