Flights of fancy

Napier to Auckland :10 May, 2016.
Air NZ. Usual ATR 72 on this route. Left on time, check-in at impersonal machines is the norm for Air NZ these days but the back up staff were great in helping with luggage label. Cabin crew were competent without being overly gushy. Waited for checked bag about 10-15 mins at Auckland. Overall a good experience.

Auckland to Hong Kong: 11 May, 2016.


Premium economy chosen to see if we could get some proper rest. Quicker check-in, didn't need to use full baggage allowance as only one checked bag.
Bigger seats (3 seats across the centre instead of usual 4 seats) with fold up leg supports for reclining comfort, champagne for pre-flight drink, very good choice of food and drinks. Service excellent on flight.
Very happy to recommend both Cathay and their Premium economy.

Hong Kong  to Munich: 14 May.

Night flight in Premium economy.
Comfortable, wide seats. Foot rest on seat in front but not as good as leg support on own seat. Food was okay and service okay - crew were often distracted as they served. Managed to get a little sleep. Not as good as Cathay flight.
