Cathay Pacific Airways Boeing 747-400 (74A) Long Haul

This 747-400 features three classes of service and is used for long-haul flights.

Beware that underseat leg and storage room is greatly limited for all seats in economy due to the presence of an equipment box. Although the middle seats (B,E,F,J) are most affected, the boxes protrude into the foot space of aisle and window seats as well.

Beware that seats in Economy Class do not recline but instead the seat bottom slides forward within its own shell. This gives the effect of slouching within the seat without actually reclining into the seat space behind. These seats are highly unpopular and are progressively being replaced.
