I flew with Cathay Pacific in BUSINESS class from Sydney to Hong Kong and in FIRST class from Hong Kong to Paris (both on a Boeing 777-300ER). On this flight, I give you a full review and a comparison between both cabins and see if you can notice a big difference between the two.
Grab a glass of wine or your favourite drink, a little snack and enjoy the ride.

Who is Gilles Riou from Top Snow Travel?!
Top Snow Travel's Founder and a world-class ski enthusiast who understands the needs of a luxury ski holiday.
His expertise comes from having skied at more than 70 SKI RESORTS around the world, including Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, and more than 40 different ski resorts in FRANCE alone.
Not only has he explored the French Alps while on holidays from his current home in Australia, he has also spent much of his childhood & adolescence on these remarkable mountains.
From just 2 years old until he was 15, Gilles was fortunate enough to visit his family-owned home at a ski resort in the French Alps called Valfréjus. Every school holiday, his loved ones and himself would leave their home in Paris and enjoy the atmosphere and excitement of this stunning mountain region. It was here that he developed a sincere love for the sport of skiing, as well as a wealth of knowledge regarding the best places to stay and ski. These memories stayed with him long after he moved to Australia as a teen.
After school, Gilles spent the first decade of his career working in the travel and tourism industry selling worldwide ski holidays to the Australian market. However, Gilles knew he had more to offer so he decided to venture out on his own.
"In 2015, Top Snow Travel was created to give fellow Aussies the incredible experience of elite skiing on some of the very best slopes in the world. My desire to share this passion with others is just one of the reasons Top Snow Travel is a top-rated ski travel company today"

Your smile is infectious, I was smiling the whole time while watching your review. I'll be flying LAX-HKG-LAX in F in December for the first time, now I know what to expect. Thank you.

Nice video! Happy to see that you enjoyed the flights. Agreed that the hardware on the 777-300ER was a bit dated, luckily Cathay has announced that all the 77Ws would be retrofitted with their newly designed business class seat - Aria Suite. New first class is also around the corner (to be featured in their new 777X).

Thanks for sharing. Love that you indulge in all the drinks along the way... and we get to see the effects :) Exactly what I would do and so much more realistic that other videos with people just having fruit juice

Thanks mate, I gotta make the most of it. So much to indulge, it would be a shame not to 😁

If you are flying first out of HKG the check in staff usually give you first class lounge access in Syd.

@topsnowtravel 5 ай бұрын

Good to know, thanks! I will ask for it next time 😊 I checked my luggage all the way to Paris and got my 1st class boarding pass from HKG CDG at the same time in SYD but check-in staff only mentioned business class lounge.

You can't best old school first class. That bed is wonderful. What a great trip you had.

I love Cathay. I learned 1st class food service working in HK at M@The Finge and other prestigious hospitality venues, both as a trainee management student and as a customer, being treated to fabulous experiences by my Aunt and Uncle and amazing family friends as a green 17yr old and then as a 23yr old. I miss our extravagant life in HK in the 80's and 90's

lol... i feel the same way about caviar.. really dont know what the fuss is about

@topsnowtravel 2 ай бұрын

Caviar is associated with luxury and exclusivity due to its high price and limited availability which is the main reason they serve it in first class I guess 🤷🏽‍♂️

sydney first class lounge was embarrassing .....

@topsnowtravel 2 ай бұрын

there was no first class lounge in this video at Syndey airport, only the Qantas business class lounge which was good enough. I was told i wasn't allowed to film in there by the staff so it was very short in this video of the Qantas business class lounge.
