Boeing 777-300ER (77W)Business Class
Cathay Pacific 777-300ER Cathay Business cabin
Cathay Pacific Cathay Business · Boeing 777-300ERConfig 77W

Cathay Pacific's pre-Aria 777-300ER business class. Uses the Safran Cirrus reverse-herringbone seat in 1-2-1 — the same seat family as the A350-900 and A350-1000, just on the wider Boeing fuselage. 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 77W carries 40 business seats in a forward + mini-cabin layout. Cathay began retrofitting these aircraft to the new Aria Suite in late 2024, with the entire 77W fleet targeted for completion by end of 2027 — so this product is gradually shrinking as tails convert.

Strategic Seating

Best Rows
  • Front row of either cabin section — less foot traffic
  • 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

How to book this cabin
