Airbus A330-300 (333)Business Class

Cathay Pacific A330-300 Cathay Business cabin — **Cathay Pacific Cathay Business** · Airbus A330-300Config 333

Cathay Pacific's primary A330-300 business class uses the Safran Cirrus II reverse-herringbone seat in a 1-2-1 layout. Every seat has direct aisle access; the seat converts to a fully lie-flat bed approximately 75 inches (191 cm) long. A side-folding panel widens the sleeping surface. There is no privacy door, but the high shell and wing-shaped head panel provide a meaningful sense of enclosure. The cabin is split into a larger forward section and a smaller aft section. Because the A330-300 has a narrower fuselage than the Boeing 777-300ER, the ottoman and overall footprint feel somewhat tighter than on the 77W or A350-900, though the core seat product is the same Cirrus family. StudioCX IFE runs on Panasonic eX2 hardware; satellite Wi-Fi is available. A second sub-fleet carries a 2-2-2 angled-flat recliner product on higher-density regional configurations; this product describes the dominant 1-2-1 Cirrus II long-haul fleet (roughly 25 of 44 A330-300 aircraft).

Strategic Seating

Best Rows

Front rows of either cabin section — less foot traffic and no recline intrusion from ahead
Window seats in the forward cabin for a balance of privacy and natural light

Rows to Avoid

Last row of the forward cabin — closest to divider and crew jumpseats
Aft mini-cabin rows adjacent to galley and lavatory traffic
Seat 20K (or equivalent last aft-cabin window) — closet placement feels claustrophobic per passenger reports
