Cathay Pacific’s New Aria Suite Business Class Takes Off in Singapore
Cathay Pacific is bringing an exciting upgrade to its Business Class experience on flights between Singapore and Hong Kong. The airline has officially introduced its brand-new Aria Suite , a state-of-the-art Business Class product that takes comfort, privacy, and in-flight entertainment to the next level. If you're flying this route in February 2025, you might just get to experience this fresh cabin design!
So, what’s special about the Aria Suite ? Well, Cathay Pacific has taken its already impressive long-haul Safran Cirrus seats and transformed them into private, enclosed suites, courtesy of Collins Aerospace . These suites come with sliding doors , offering passengers a more exclusive and peaceful journey. While the doors aren’t as high as, say, Qatar Airways’ Qsuites, they still provide that much-needed sense of personal space.
The Aria Suite is currently available on three of Cathay Pacific’s Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, which have been deployed on select flights between Singapore and Hong Kong since late January. If you’re traveling on specific dates throughout February, you may find yourself seated in this premium new cabin. However, beyond February, the scheduling for these aircraft remains uncertain, as Cathay Pacific tends to update its aircraft assignments closer to the date of departure.
For those looking to redeem miles , this is an excellent opportunity! The best deal? You can snag a Business Class seat for just 22,000 Avios points plus S$65 in taxes . If you're using Asia Miles , the cost goes up to 28,000 miles + S$100 , making Avios the smarter option for this redemption.

Inside the Aria Suite , passengers can expect a 24-inch widescreen 4K in-flight entertainment display , a massive upgrade compared to the 16-inch screens found on older Cathay Pacific aircraft. The seats remain in a reverse-herringbone 1-2-1 layout , ensuring direct aisle access for every passenger . Storage has been enhanced with multiple compartments , including a head-level cupboard with an integrated vanity mirror and a sliding compartment perfect for smaller items .
Another standout feature? Wireless charging! Yes, Cathay Pacific has finally introduced built-in power pads , making it easier than ever to keep your devices powered up. If you prefer traditional charging, there’s also USB-A, USB-C, and AC power outlets at your fingertips.
For those seated in the middle section , a full-sized privacy divider has been added, allowing solo travelers to enjoy complete separation from their neighbor. When it’s time to rest, the seat fully reclines into a lie-flat bed , with a retractable armrest for a more spacious sleeping area.
Cathay Pacific has also refreshed its Premium Economy and Economy cabins on these retrofitted 777s. Interestingly, Premium Economy now has its own dedicated lavatories , something that’s quite rare on many airlines.
With Singapore Airlines still delaying the launch of its new long-haul Business Class seats until 2026, Cathay Pacific is making a bold move by showcasing its latest product well ahead of the competition . Add to that the reopening of its exclusive Terminal 4 lounge at Changi Airport , and it’s clear that the airline is doubling down on its premium offering in Singapore.
So, if you’re flying between Singapore and Hong Kong , this might be your best chance to experience one of the most exciting Business Class upgrades of 2025 . Whether you're redeeming miles or booking outright, keep an eye on Cathay Pacific’s 777-300ER flights in February for a taste of the Aria Suite experience!
