Cathay\u2019s \u2018Aria Suite\u2019 won at TheDesignAir\u2019s awards<\/a> last year for best new Business Class, so it was a delight to be able to finally experience the product on one of the very first long-haul flights operated by the new cabin, where hard product and long-haul soft product could shine through. While not revolutionary on the surface, the small details on the seat make a big difference to the passenger experience. While currently available on London and soon to be Sydney \u2013 the seat looks like it\u2019s breathing a new life into Cathay.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><strong>On the Ground<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our journey to Hong Kong commenced at London Heathrow\u2019s Terminal 3, where Cathay Pacific operates five daily flights between the two cities. Departing just a day after Chinese New Year and a week following the launch of the award-winning Aria Suite on its first long-haul route, the terminal was surprisingly tranquil, making check-in a seamless experience.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/screenshot-2025-03-16-at-16.56.08.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"44108\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/2025\/03\/16\/trip-report-cathay-777-300er-aria-suite-business-class-february-2025\/screenshot-2025-03-16-at-16-56-08\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/screenshot-2025-03-16-at-16.56.08.png\" data-orig-size=\"2648,1476\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}\" data-image-title=\"Screenshot 2025-03-16 at 16.56.08\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/screenshot-2025-03-16-at-16.56.08.png?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/screenshot-2025-03-16-at-16.56.08.png?w=900\" width=\"900\" height=\"501\" src=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/screenshot-2025-03-16-at-16.56.08.png?w=900\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44108\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Business Class passengers benefit from fast-track security, which lived up to its name.

My seat, 21K, was a window seat in the second Business Class cabin, offering privacy and ample space.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/screenshot-2025-03-16-at-16.56.26.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"44109\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/2025\/03\/16\/trip-report-cathay-777-300er-aria-suite-business-class-february-2025\/screenshot-2025-03-16-at-16-56-26\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/screenshot-2025-03-16-at-16.56.26.png\" data-orig-size=\"2654,1472\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}\" data-image-title=\"Screenshot 2025-03-16 at 16.56.26\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/screenshot-2025-03-16-at-16.56.26.png?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/screenshot-2025-03-16-at-16.56.26.png?w=900\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"499\" src=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/screenshot-2025-03-16-at-16.56.26.png?w=900\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44109\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Overall, the new cabins are breathtaking. There\u2019s a huge amount of detail that\u2019s gone into upgrading Cathay\u2019s 777 into something a lot more residential. The fabric bulkheads are gorgeous, and the use of soft muted moss greens within the cabin make the cabin feel incredibly calming. The toilets in comparison are light, airy and contemporary in finish, with touch free flush and hand washing. The toilets are stocked with Bamford amenities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Seat<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Aria Suite is a masterclass in thoughtful design and passenger comfort. Each suite features a sleek wrap-around seat design, complemented by a suite door and sliding partition, ensuring unparalleled privacy and elevated comfort.

And it\u2019s nothing really that surprising, but the UX \/ UI of Cathay\u2019s entertainment system is truly out of this world. Why? Well simply because it\u2019s so intuitive even my mother could use it straight out of the gate. The airline\u2019s entertainment comes to life on a 24-inch 4K screen with Bluetooth pairing and the listing are presented like a Netflix streaming service.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/screenshot-2024-03-11-at-20.23.08.webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"44100\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/2025\/03\/16\/trip-report-cathay-777-300er-aria-suite-business-class-february-2025\/screenshot-2024-03-11-at-20-23-08-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/screenshot-2024-03-11-at-20.23.08.webp\" data-orig-size=\"1400,765\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}\" data-image-title=\"screenshot-2024-03-11-at-20.23.08\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/screenshot-2024-03-11-at-20.23.08.webp?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/screenshot-2024-03-11-at-20.23.08.webp?w=900\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"491\" src=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/screenshot-2024-03-11-at-20.23.08.webp?w=900\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44100\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>The new system has an incredible high definition outside camera as well which can be used in new ways which give a whole new meaning to the world inflight entertainment.

The fabric bulkheads are gorgeous, and the use of soft muted moss greens within the cabin make the cabin feel incredibly calming. The toilets in comparison are light, airy and contemporary in finish, with touch free flush and hand washing. The toilets are stocked with Bamford amenities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Seat<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Aria Suite is a masterclass in thoughtful design and passenger comfort. Each suite features a sleek wrap-around seat design, complemented by a suite door and sliding partition, ensuring unparalleled privacy and elevated comfort.

And it\u2019s nothing really that surprising, but the UX \/ UI of Cathay\u2019s entertainment system is truly out of this world. Why? Well simply because it\u2019s so intuitive even my mother could use it straight out of the gate. The airline\u2019s entertainment comes to life on a 24-inch 4K screen with Bluetooth pairing and the listing are presented like a Netflix streaming service.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/screenshot-2024-03-11-at-20.23.08.webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"44100\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/2025\/03\/16\/trip-report-cathay-777-300er-aria-suite-business-class-february-2025\/screenshot-2024-03-11-at-20-23-08-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/screenshot-2024-03-11-at-20.23.08.webp\" data-orig-size=\"1400,765\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}\" data-image-title=\"screenshot-2024-03-11-at-20.23.08\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/screenshot-2024-03-11-at-20.23.08.webp?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/screenshot-2024-03-11-at-20.23.08.webp?w=900\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"491\" src=\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/screenshot-2024-03-11-at-20.23.08.webp?w=900\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44100\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>The new system has an incredible high definition outside camera as well which can be used in new ways which give a whole new meaning to the world inflight entertainment.
