It’s like a study where you can devote yourself to whatever you like. The new business class “Aria Suite,” a completely private space The newly renovated Boeing 777-300ER (77J) has a total of 361 seats in three classes: 45 seats in business class (Aria Suite), 48 seats in premium economy class, and 268 seats in economy class. This time, the reporter boarded CX521 from Narita (16:45) to Hong Kong (21:10), a medium-haul flight of 5 hours and 30 minutes each way. The Aria Suite is a luxury business class upgrade with further improvements while maintaining popular features such as the reverse herringbone arrangement of seats facing diagonally opposite to the aisle, fully flat seats, and storage space. In particular, privacy has been dramatically improved with the addition of doors for the first time in Cathay’s history. The layout is 1-2-1, with all seats having direct aisle access, and the two rows of center seats have movable partitions that allow two seats to become a private room or share a table space. For example, when boarding with a partner or friend, you can open the partition to enjoy conversation and meals together, and when you want to immerse yourself in a movie alone or go to bed, you can close the partition to ensure privacy.
You’ve come to the right place for a comfortable business class flight. Not only for travel to Hong Kong, but also to destinations around the world from Hong Kong! A short while after takeoff, the cabin lighting turns a dim blue, creating a calm atmosphere. After finishing my meal, I closed the door again, and in the full-flat bed, I was able to sleep comfortably with a sense of protection provided by the walls. However, the 5.5-hour flight from Narita to Hong Kong was so short that I almost forgot to sleep when enjoying in-flight entertainment and meals, but it was comfortable enough for those who were going for sightseeing or business immediately after arriving in Hong Kong. Cathay currently operates more than 17 daily direct flights to Hong Kong from six airports in five cities (Narita, Haneda, Kansai, Centrair (Chubu), Fukuoka, and Shin-Chitose (Sapporo)) on its Japan route. From Hong Kong, the airline offers flights to more than 80 destinations worldwide, including Japan. For example, a round-trip business class flight from Narita to Hong Kong costs 194,800 yen (price from December 3 to 5). The new Boeing 777-300ER (77J) is expected to be introduced gradually on Japan routes other than Narita from January 2025, but the new business class is a welcome addition. We hope that the new business class will be used not only for direct flights between Japan and Hong Kong/Taipei, but also for long-haul travel originating from there to Cathay’s hub airport, Hong Kong.
