Discover our upgraded Airbus A321neo Economy cabin

Refined cabins, delicious dining and enthralling entertainment are hallmarks of the Cathay Pacific inflight experience. No matter how far you’re flying or which cabin you’re travelling in, our focus remains on delivering thoughtful details that elevate every journey. As part of our ongoing ambition to continually improve the passenger experience, we’re progressively introducing new Economy cabin layouts, featuring more space and brighter, more immersive seatback TV screens*, to our existing and newly purchased Airbus A321neo aircraft from later this year.

A key improvement is increased legroom – a feature we know our passengers value. “We removed seats and expanded the space between rows to deliver more comfort,”says Laurent Tremblay‑Simard, Head of Customer Experience – Inflight Product at Cathay Pacific.

Upgraded screens and award-winning entertainment

Passengers can look forward to upgraded inflight entertainment as we lead the way in equipping these aircraft with 4K HDR10+ technology, rendering our award‑winning content in stunning quality. And newly purchased A321neo aircraft, arriving soon, will feature larger 13.3‑inch seatback TV screens for an even more immersive viewing experience.

“It was an honour to be named World’s Best Economy Class Airline at the Skytrax World Airline Awards in 2024 and 2025,” Tremblay‑Simard says. “We’re committed to setting the benchmark for premium air travel and delivering outstanding service to every passenger, in every cabin.”

Refined onboard service and cabin flow

The Customer Experience team also worked with our Inflight Service Delivery team and cabin crew to refine our onboard service. “We’ve repositioned the lavatories to be further away from the galley,” Tremblay‑Simard adds. “We expect this to reduce congestion, improve workflow for our crew and give passengers greater access to facilities – even while inflight meal preparation and service are underway.” The result is a smoother experience for all on board.

A cohesive Cathay Pacific Economy cabin across the fleet

Meanwhile, the upholstery in our Economy cabins has been restyled to complement our signature colour palette, creating a cohesive aesthetic across the fleet.

“Consistency is key,” says Tremblay‑Simard. “We want passengers to feel confident that whichever Cathay Pacific aircraft they step onto, the experience will meet the same premium standard.”

*The new cabin layout and 4K HDR10+ content will feature on new A321neo aircraft while being progressively retrofitted to existing A321neo aircraft.
