What would you like travellers, particularly business travellers, to remember about this new Aria Suite?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Paul Johannes - <\/strong>I'd like them to remember a seat, an environment, an ambience over which they have total control. A very top-of-the-range seat, with unrivalled comfort and soothing, relaxing colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, what features should I mention?<\/h3>\n\n\n

Paul Johannes -<\/strong> Normally on a plane there's this light above the seat, which is very bright when you turn it on. This is no longer the case. You can now control the lighting in your cabin without disturbing other passengers, and with the intensity you want. Passengers no longer need to stand up, ask which toilet is free and queue: the screen in all seats simply shows availability, in all classes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This includes Premium Economy, which Cathay has also redesigned...<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Paul Johannes -<\/strong> Our new Premium Economy class<\/strong> has really changed things. We've tried to design this class in such a way as to create a more intimate atmosphere, a private space with large partitions, 'wings', so that the passenger feels a bit apart. There's also this separation between the middle seats, bigger screens, more storage space and, here too, greater control by the passenger over his or her environment. It really is an exceptional seat. In fact, these two new cabins have already won awards at the Design Air Awards, when we had just started our flights! And the economy class was crowned by Skytrax<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
