Experience a Cathay Pacific Business Class flight onboard an Airbus A330 from Hong Kong to Cambodia's brand-new Techo International Airport — nicknamed Asia’s “Ghost Airport.” In this video, I cover the complete flight experience, including check-in, boarding, the Business Class cabin, inflight dining, service, entertainment, and arrival in Phnom Penh. Before the flight, I also take you inside Cathay Pacific’s renowned The Pier Business Class Lounge at Hong Kong International Airport for a full tour. From the elegant design and quiet relaxation spaces to the dining areas, shower suites, and runway views, The Pier remains one of the best Business Class lounges in Asia and a major highlight of the Cathay Pacific ground experience. This particular Airbus A330 was fitted with Cathay Pacific’s older regional Business Class product in a 2-2-2 configuration, a noticeable downgrade compared to the airline’s long-haul Aria Suites product. I take a closer look at the seat comfort, privacy, legroom, storage, and overall experience on this short regional flight, while also seeing whether Cathay Pacific’s renowned service still manages to impress despite the outdated cabin layout. I also explore Cambodia’s new Techo International Airport near Phnom Penh, a massive new aviation project designed to become a major Southeast Asian hub. The new airport is designed to handle millions of passengers annually with a modern terminal, long runways capable of serving the Airbus A380, and future expansion plans aimed at transforming Cambodia into a regional aviation hub. However, with limited flights currently operating, the airport’s enormous scale and quiet atmosphere have already earned it comparisons to a “ghost airport.” Video chapters: 0:00 Intro 1:44 Hong Kong Airport 2:58 The Pier Lounge 8:44 Airbus A330 9:25 Business Class cabin 12:32 Safety video 19:56 Cathay Pacific A330 fleet parade 22:15 Takeoff 26:40 Cathay Pacific Business Class seat 28:53 Amenities, Menu & Lunch 32:02 Inflight entertainment 33:59 Landing 39:49 Techo International Airport Flight details: Trip: Hong Kong (HKG) to Phnom Penh (KTI) Airline: Cathay Pacific Aircraft type: Airbus A330-300 Aircraft registration number: B-HLN On time departure: Yes (8:40 am) On time arrival:Yes (10:40 am) Distance: 962 miles (1550 km) Flight time: 2 hours Seat: 14K Class: Business Class Related video: Cathay Pacific Aria Suites Business Class Review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phy6k8cZJ0s If you enjoy airline reviews, premium cabin experiences, and aviation content, don’t forget to subscribe for more trip reports from around the world. #CathayPacific #BusinessClass #A330 #HongKong #TripReport #Aviation

I like how you always show take offs and landings, very interested in the landscapes surrounding these airports. I’ve heard that Cathay Pacific staff is top notch! Thank you LTE for another lovely video! 👏🏻👍🏻😊
Another stunning travel showcase: from Hong Kong’s lounge to Cambodia’s ‘ghost airport,’ you bring the journey closer 👏🌸🌍
I’m never disappointed by my subscription to your channel. So interesting to see the juxtaposition of the airport and the surrounding agrarian landscape. So pleased that you were able to give us a glimpse of a brighter future for Cambodia. Looking forward to next week’s video of the Cambodian island getaway, only The Luxury Travel Expert could find a location like that!
I love the Pier (Cathay) and Al Mourjan (Qatar) flagship lounges on their home turf. Very very disappointed with SQ @ Changi. Do you agee or have any other lounges to recommend?
it's just a dream for now.
Another journey with you.Thank you so much...
No better way to travel but with your channel. Congrats 👏 on your work of all these years.
Best youtube channel❤
nice
Hi Doc thanks for the great Cathay Pacific Business Class Review from Hong Kong to Phnom Penh. I will be looking forward to your assessment. Real excited about your upcoming video on Six Senses Krabey Island. Hope you have an amazing week ahead ❤
Looks like a decent product for a fairly short flight.
Děkuji za video o letišti a letu,na které se člověk hned tak nedostane.🦂
Nice trip as always Doc. Cheers from Spain :)
Always good video's. I like the name "Ghost Airport", as this is indeed the right description. Huge (and nice) airport, with only a few flights a day. No need (but we did, being unfamiliar) for fast track.
Very informative without you disturbing guests on board with running commentaries. Nicely done.
Happiest only Happiest
I'm happy you returned to Cambodia. 6 years I've waited when you return to Cambodia.
I like Cathay Pacific Airways because I flew before
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 the airport is beautiful!
Can't wait for your update in Cambodia, we love Cambodia, the Wild West feeling you get👍
