Cathay Pacific Unveils New Premium Economy Seats for 777-300ER Retrofit Program

Cathay Pacific is set to elevate the passenger experience with the unveiling of its new premium economy seats, originally designed for the Boeing 777-9 but now to be retrofitted on the airline’s 777-300ERs this year. The seats, featuring a 2-4-2 layout with a generous 40-inch pitch, are a step above traditional premium economy offerings.

The key highlight of the new seats is the winged privacy headrests that provide a sense of seclusion for passengers. The design, likely a customized Recaro product, aims to enhance comfort and privacy for travelers. The color palette, leaning towards warm neutrals, aligns with Cathay’s branding strategy and mirrors the aesthetics of its business class products.

One notable feature of the seats is the 15.6-inch monitor, promising a high-quality inflight entertainment experience. However, concerns have been raised about the size of the cabling structure at foot level, which may impact legroom for passengers. Despite this minor drawback, the overall design and functionality of the seats are expected to impress passengers.

With the retrofit program set to roll out this year, Cathay Pacific is gearing up to provide a premium travel experience for its passengers. The unveiling of these new premium economy seats marks a significant step in the airline’s commitment to enhancing the passenger experience.
