Between Vietnam and the world lies a journey shaped by calm, comfort, and connection. With Cathay Pacific, travel becomes more than a destination—it becomes a curated experience where thoughtful design, soulful cuisine, and quiet rituals redefine the art of flying.

Some journeys begin at the gate. Others begin quietly — with a warm cup of tea, a gentle smile, and the sense that something special is about to unfold. With 24 weekly flights connecting Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to Hong Kong and beyond, travellers are invited to rediscover the joy of flying, where every detail is designed to elevate the experience.
Tasteful Beginnings
At The Bridge, one of Cathay Pacific’s most beloved lounges recently reopened in Hong Kong, comfort begins with familiarity. Whether you retreat into The Nook — a cosy, light-filled space designed for quiet moments — or head straight to the iconic Noodle Bar for a bowl of freshly made wonton noodles, the experience feels both grounded and indulgent. With thoughtful design, nourishing flavours, and the gentle steam rising from your bowl, the journey begins long before boarding.
Onboard, that same sense of refinement continues. In Business Class, the welcome drink — the Cathay Delight, a refreshing blend of kiwi, coconut milk, and mint — feels like the first note of a well-composed melody. The inflight menu in Business Class is crafted in renewed collaboration with Michelin-starred Louise, bringing a fresh take on traditional French cuisine onboard. Launched in early 2024 and updated in May 2025, the menu features a thoughtfully arranged sequence of appetizers, mains and desserts — a modern reinterpretation of French classics under the theme of seasonality and simplicity. Appetizers may include Obsiblue prawns with herb-infused consommé or morel mushrooms and white asparagus terrine. Mains range from braised Iberico pork belly with sage jus (Business class) to First-class dishes like Iberico pork pluma (First) and steaming Chilean sea bass with chorizo sauce. Desserts continue the story with calamansi crémeux, yuzu cheesecake or decadent Guanaja chocolate crémeux – each plated with finesse and designed to balance flavour.
Under the soft glow of cabin lighting, each course becomes part of a sensory journey — dining midair transformed into a quietly poetic experience. Premium Economy and Economy passengers enjoy that same commitment to care. Through its partnership with renowned Cantonese restaurant Yat Tung Heen, Cathay brings comfort to the cabin — from flavourful dim sum to tender char siu with jasmine rice and vibrant vegetables. Excellence, here, is not limited by cabin class, but extended through consistency.
For those seeking something unexpected, Betsy Beer — Cathay’s signature high-altitude brew — offers a crisp and modern twist to inflight refreshment, bridging tradition and innovation at 35,000 feet.
A Personal Space in the Sky
True luxury reveals itself in the quiet details. Cathay Pacific’s new Aria Suite in Business Class is a study in elegance and comfort. Enclosed by a sliding door and designed with woodgrain textures and calming tones, the suite features a 24-inch 4K screen, wireless charging, mood lighting, and intuitive storage. This is not just a seat — it’s a sanctuary.
In Premium Economy, thoughtful upgrades offer enhanced recline, increased privacy, and space to exhale. Economy Class also reflects this philosophy, with ergonomically designed seating, elevated meal options, and a service style that is attentive yet discreet.
Seamless Connections, Thoughtfully Designed
With 10 weekly flights from Hanoi and 14 from Ho Chi Minh City — plus codeshare options from Danang, Nha Trang, and Phu Quoc — the Cathay Group offers more than global access - It offers seamless transitions. Whether your destination is Hong Kong or further afield — Europe, North America, or the newly launched Hong Kong–Dallas route (April 2025) — the journey remains consistent: elegant, efficient, and emotionally attuned.
Some flights take you to your destination. This one brings you into the present.
Because with Cathay Pacific, it’s not just where you’re going — it’s how you feel along the way
