Cathay Pacific Airways Opiniões 699

Extremely poor customer service - have spent over 12 hours so far trying to resolve a very simple issue. Fly regularly with other airlines and this is usually resolved in a minute or two. Regret booking with Cathay…

I cancel my flight under the conditions of half the ticket price as for medical reasons. Unfortunately I got back less then 1/4. This is unacceptable, I'll fly from now on with emirates airlines.

Cathay Pacific offers a fantastic range of international flights, and I found their website easy to use when searching for tickets. The cabin was clean, the food was surprisingly good, and everything ran on time. It’s a reliable airline that I’d happily choose again for future travel.

Booked a ticket from Cebu Philippines - Dubai but due to war the airline cancelled their operations and now more than 1 month since we didn't receive the refund.
We booked thru the travel agent and the travel agent informed us and even share email correspondence with the airline but Cathay Pacific is not responding. I can't believe that they are abandoning their passengers in times like this. We are so disappointed and helpless regarding this matter! I sent already several email and called the airline directly myself but they are not helping at all!

Watch out for up charges and bureaucratic BS ! When checking in I learned my ticket only used a middle initial, while my passport had my full name spelled out. Cathay does let you check in and suggests to correct the name by calling customer service--like its no big deal. But after getting to a live person, I was told the correction incurred a fee of $60? Why? Because it was booked through a third party (in this case Expedia) and they had to 'take over' the booking. I was told contact Expedia, they can change for free. Well no, after 25 min with Expedia, they said once you check in Expedia is helpless. I called Cathay back, and was forced to cancel my check in (and risk losing the seat assignments already paid for!) so they can re-book. After agreeing to the theft of $60 to add 5 letters to the booking, they sent an email with payment info. Paid, then 10 min waiting online agent told me there is technical difficulty and they will call back because the agent can't confirm receipt--even though I had an email confirming they got my money. When 3 hours passed I was forced to call a third time to be told yes it shows on the computer but--you are not checked in!
Maybe it is because I flew Economy, but I am a Cathay member so, fyi--that probably makes no difference to how you are treated.

Overall a great experience, however, it was freezing in the cabin with cold air con blowing the whole 10 hour flight. The blankets were thin and made for a very uncomfortable journey. I’m not looking forward to my return trip as I will need to carry extra layers just to stay warm. Apart from that cabin crew and meals were really good.

Uns wurde die Airline seltsamerweise von einem Reisebüro empfohlen. Nach Hin- und Rückflug von Frankfurt über HongKong nach Cebu in der Economy Class können wir die Empfehlung nicht nachvollziehen. Es fühlt sich an, als würde man mit einer Budget Airline fliegen. Man wird transportiert, mehr aber auch nicht. Die vegetarische Essenauswahl, die man unbedingt im Vorfeld buchen muss, da sie sonst nicht verfügbar ist, war das schlechteste Essen, was wir jemals in einem Flugzeug gegessen haben. Das Personal hat außerhalb der Getränke zu den Mahlzeiten aktiv gar nichts angeboten und war auch sonst wenig kommunikativ. In-Flight Entertainment war ok. Insgesamt würde ich die Airline eher meiden, sie ist aber sicher und bringt einen ans Ziel, daher die zwei Sterne.

Most uncomfortable seating ever. Food is horrible and staff is rude. Theres no chance they are legitimately rated in the top 5 airlines. I would rather pay double than fly with them again.

The aircraft aren't as new as some airlines, but they are well maintained. The cost was about 20% dearer than the competitors, but for us it was worth it, because you don't have to travel via a Middle Eastern airport. Also, flight times were very close and no major delays. The food was as good as other airlines - certainly no worse - and we quite enjoyed the Asian food that they served. The flight attendants are young and very polite. OUR ONLY COMPLAINT IS that they didn't make passengers put their seats forward at meal times. Lots of passengers were struggling to eat in the small space, because the passenger in front had their seat fully reclined. This is tolerable at sleep times, but not at food and drink times. I had to ask the FA to ask the passengers in front if they could put their seat into the upright position, because we were actually struggling to eat. They did do, which was great, but I noticed the FA's didn't tell others who were suffering similarly. The FA's should know to do this, and I'm wondering if it's because the FA's were generally younger people......

Customer service is atrocious, they make it intentionally difficult to make simple changes to your information (such as updating an email or phone number) or delete an account. They made me jump through more hoops than my bank or even the Canadian government. Clearly this is not about security, it's about keeping your information in their system where they can profit from it. It honestly feels malicious. Pathetic service that has completely turned me off of what is really an excellent airline in terms of the in-flight experience. Guess I'll stick to EVA who've never given me any trouble.

Hier moet je NIET mee vliegen!! Negen uur vertraging en dan nog zeggen dat we geen recht hebben op compensatie. Advocaat in handen genomen en je raadt het al, na vier brieven geschreven te hebben moesten dreigen met een rechtszaak. Daarna gelijk geld ontvangen! Dan weet je wel met wat voor bedrijf je te maken hebt...

Haven't yet flown with them and they've worn my last nerve. Booked through BA on a flight operated by them. Have tried to select seats in advance, and was willing to pay extra. I contacted them through chat and phone call and was given conflicting information, sometimes during the same conversation. It seems that the system says no. I had a similar request for a BA flight operated by Qantas which went smoothly. Why can't Cathay do the same? Oh, and it's hit or miss if their website can find your booking. If you get stressed about flying or bureaucracy in general, avoid this company. Wish me luck in getting home with them!

My flight to Vietnam was on January 31, 2026. The day before, I checked my itinerary and saw that my flight from Columbus to Dallas had been canceled—with no notification at all. No email, no call, no text. I was honestly pretty panicked.

I ended up spending about four hours on the phone with Cathay trying to find another flight. I had originally booked premium economy so I could pick my seats, but after they rebooked me, I couldn’t choose seats at all. The customer service team really couldn’t do much to help.

I submitted a case later and was told I’d get an upgraded seat on my return flight. But when I checked in at the airport, the Cathay desk said there was nothing in the system.

On top of that, when I arrived in Hanoi, one of my suitcases was damaged. Their process requires you to call to report it, but I couldn’t make international calls while I was there. When I got back to the U.S., I submitted a claim, but they said they couldn’t do anything because it wasn’t reported within 7 days—even though I was overseas and couldn’t contact them.

Overall, this was my first time flying with Cathay, and it will definitely be my last. The customer service was really disappointing. The plane felt smaller compared to other international airlines, and while the onboard service was okay, it didn’t come close to other Asian airlines I’ve flown.

🚨 Scam alert 🚨

I paid $50+ for an “extra legroom window seat”… and there was NO window.

Instead of fixing it properly, they moved me to a worse seat with no extra legroom and no recline. Total downgrade from what I paid for.

It did not stop there. They tried to charge me for my backpack separately from my carry-on, then forced me to check it, then suddenly changed their mind and let me keep it. Completely frustrating.

Easily one of the worst airline experiences I have had. I will avoid them in the future.

Because of the war in the middle east I had to cancel my flight from Emirates. After a quick search Cathay Pacific offered a competitive flight to BKK where other airlines already asked double or triple the normal price. The flight was booked and I was able to fly. Onboard : friendly staff, good seats, a lot entertaining movies, great food and drinks. Hagen Dass ice-cream 🍧 Because it is a Chinese Airline there were ofcourse a lot Chinese people in the fully booked airplane. Overall 8 out of 10.

I just had my first Economy flight experience on Cathay, HK to LHR, the seats were comfy enough as were the IFE systems. The plane was slightly run down and probably, well definitely needs some refurbishment. The lavatories had some bits of tape to hold some bits together on the wall.
What I found really strange was around 7 hours into the flight I asked for a cup noodle but was told there was none available but was offered an egg tart. I agreed and enjoyed it, but about 2 hours later a family of four sat beside me were provided four cup noodles and four egg tarts. I was very confused why I was told there was no noodles but the people sat next to me were provided them. To follow on another review, I asked for a bottle of water but was told only cups of water were provided, so once again I agreed. A while later a bottle of water was provided to a passenger a couple of seats ahead.
So I just wanted clarification from Cathay if I had to learn Chinese, which I wouldn't mind doing or be of a certain ethnic group, which unfortunately I can't change.
Would I fly Cathay again, only if I don't have an option.

Retard sur plusieurs vols à destination du Japon, nourriture infecte à bord. J'ai effectué une réclamation car j'ai du payer un taxi 100 euros à cause de leur retard. Leur service client est basé aux philippines et ce sont des menteurs, ils vont vous manipulez en vous faisant croire qu'ils vous ont remboursé alors que personne ne vous dédommagera jamais. Ils vont vous indiqué que le problème vient de votre compte bancaire.

Ne réservez plus jamais un vol avec cette compagnie un bon conseil.

Flew and paid for Business; but thought I was in Economy. Seats now a 2-3-2 seating on Business. If people knew this, they’d avoid this airline. It’s a second tier airline now….
