Cathay Pacific revamps Boeing 777-300ER cabins; introduces Aria Suite

The retrofit includes three cabin classes: business class with 45 Aria Suites arranged in a 1-2-1 configuration, premium economy with 48 seats arranged in a 2-4-2 configuration, and economy with 268 seats arranged in a 3-4-3 configuration.

Vivian Lo emphasized the focus on passenger experience: "When we started putting together a new cabin experience for our newly retrofitted 777s... this suite is designed fully with our customers in mind."

Elliott Koehler from JPA Design described the Aria Suite as “one of the most comfortable Business seats out there,” highlighting features like privacy doors and lie-flat beds.

The premium economy cabin offers improved comfort and technology enhancements. Vivian Lo explained that their goal was "to design Premium Economy as a cabin that thrives on its own merits."

Economy class sees updates inspired by Cathay's Airbus A350 fleet, such as extra overhead baggage space and flexible headrests.

While first class has been removed from these aircraft, Cathay Pacific continues to offer it on other routes until all retrofits are complete. First class remains available on select routes including Tokyo Haneda and New York JFK.
