Hunding Posted September 12, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Might anyone know -- perhaps/probably from experience -- on which airlines Oceania flies its passengers to Asia from the West Coast? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no fuss travel Posted September 12, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Cathay Pacific sometimes. We had several American passengers routed through Vancouver using Cathay Pacific on our last Asian cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aemari Posted September 13, 2015 #4 Share Posted September 13, 2015 We are flying on Cathay Pacific from SF to Singapore to join Insignia in a few weeks. We took an air deviation so that we can come in 2 days early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PaulMCO Posted September 13, 2015 #5 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) Would you be willing to share your experience on Cathay Pacific? Much better than any US Carriers. You might inquire about a cost to upgrade to premium economy. They have a decent and real PE (as opposed to UA and Delta).

They have a decent and real PE (as opposed to UA and Delta). Thanks, PaulMCO. Truth to tell, we've taken advantage of O's Business Class offer from L.A. to Hong Kong, and from Istanbul back to L. A. ($999 each way). I was curious about the airlines O contracts with for Asia, because we have flown BC on O flights to Europe and back, and one in particular was…unfortunate. Cathay Pacific sounds swell -- we'll hope for that instead of a domestic carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted September 13, 2015 #7 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Since you've already shelled out $999 each way for business class I'd invest the extra for the deviation fee to make sure you get Cathay Pacific instead of an American carrier.

Also, I would suggest Turkish out of Istanbul - it is surpprisingly nice. Turkish business was better than Lufhansa business on A380 - I would not have believed that myself before experiencing it.

Business would be nice also the sleeper seats and service are outstanding. Don't forget to us the Business Class lounge, specially in Hong Kong.

smoothsailors Posted September 13, 2015 #10 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Turkish Airlines Business Class is terrific...and, when flying out of Istanbul, their Lounge is amazing...every kind of food imaginable cooked to order, floating orchids in the rest room, sleep and meditation rooms...really something special architecturally, too. We were so pleasantly surprised by their product! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sopwith Posted September 13, 2015 #11 Share Posted September 13, 2015 CX operates daily from JFK --> YVR --> HKG. I have flown the JFK --> YVR leg a few times in PE and the YVR <--> HKG leg in J. Both were very good. I would recommend it against any US airline or AC. On any transpacific flight you must avoid at all cost the slaveship configuration which is becoming common on the 777s. Those are the ones with the 3-4-3 configuration in the Y cabin. You can check your flight out at SeatGuru.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most unfortable business in the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
