That Cathay Aria Suite sounds insane tbh. The fact that business class is basicaly turning into what first used to be shows how much premium aviation has shifted in the last decade. I flew Cathay's older config a few years back and while it was solid, having a 24-inch 4K screen plus sliding doors feels like a completly different product category. The suede-lined walls detail is what gets me, those tiny tactile things that seperate "very good" from "worth restructuring a trip around." Lufthansa's centenary fleet is such a smart move too, heritage branding in aviation hits diferent when the planes themselves become the story rather than just transportation.
Late night pool access?! Say less!
It was truly so magical 🥹
