Cathay Pacific's long-haul business class on the A350-1000 uses the Safran Cirrus III reverse-herringbone seat in a 1-2-1 layout — the same product family as the A350-900 but a slightly newer iteration of the seat. Every seat has direct aisle access, the seat folds into a fully lie-flat ~75-inch (191 cm) bed, and a side-folding panel widens the sleeping surface. There is no privacy door, but a high shell and wing-shaped head panel give a strong sense of separation. The -1000 carries 46 business seats (vs 38 on the -900) in a single forward business cabin spanning rows 11–23, rather than the -900's split forward + mini-cabin layout.

Strategic Seating

Best Rows
  • Front row of the business cabin — less foot traffic and no seat reclining in front
  • Window seats (A or K) for solo travel — angled away from the aisle
Rows to Avoid
  • Last rows of the business cabin — closest to the divider, galley and lavatory traffic

How to book this cabin

Airlines may change equipment at any time. To ensure you get the A350-1000 (351), always check the seat map during and after booking.

Look for these hints:

  • Look for "A350-1000" or "351"
  • Reverse-herringbone seats angled inward toward the aisle
  • Wing-shaped privacy panel beside the head
  • Side panel that folds up to extend the sleeping surface
  • One contiguous business cabin spanning rows 11–23 (no rear mini-cabin like the A350-900)
