When was your first ever Cathay Pacific Airways flight?

I was 10. It was a flight to Beijing and it was on a school trip. I remember I had stomach ache. I took out some medicine, which was noticed by a passing member of cabin crew. She asked me if I was feeling alright. Her kindness made me feel warm.

What has been your most memorable flight?

Definitely CX253 to London Heathrow last summer. I bought a Business Class ticket but a Diamond member friend got me upgraded to First using his bookable upgrade. I saw the Inflight Service Manager whom I met on another flight and she recognised me. She took very good care of me. I was sat in seat 1A and it was my first long-haul flight. I was so happy to be in First.

What’s your pre-flight regime?

I try my best to be as early as possible. If my flight is in the afternoon, I arrive around 8am so I can visit all the lounges. Typically, I start at The Wing, where I enjoy a glass of Cathay Delight – my favourite drink – at the signature long bar. Then I move to The Deck – I love the view from the terrace, where you can see aircraft take off and land. Then I would go to The Cabin and eat some healthy food. I loved the fruit juices there. Then I’ll go to The Bridge for a shower. I also like the hot chocolate and cookies in The Bridge. I’ll end my route in The Pier – I love the most the Tea House there. I’ll order ginger and lemongrass tea or earl grey.
