Cathay Pacific Cathay Business · Airbus A350-900Config 359

Cathay Pacific's long-haul business class on the A350-900 uses the Safran Cirrus reverse-herringbone seat in a 1-2-1 layout. 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 cabin is split into a larger forward section and a smaller "mini" cabin behind it, totaling 38 business seats.

Strategic Seating

Best Rows
  • Front row of either cabin section — less foot traffic and no seat reclining in front
  • Mini cabin (rear J section) — much smaller and tends to feel quieter
Rows to Avoid
  • Last row of the forward cabin — closest to the divider and crew jumpseats
  • Last row of the mini cabin — adjacent to galley/lavatory traffic
