We are among the first airlines to have put rice cookers,
toasters and skillets on board, enabling our flight attendants to prepare
freshly cooked rice, toast and eggs. First Class passengers can now go
à la carte and choose their own meals and dine anytime they wish. Hmm,
how about having fried eggs, sunny-side up? |

Due to special climate controls inside the
cabin, the best wines in the air are often those that are
more robust in flavour. We carry a range of 40 quality
wines on board – from rare wines produced in France and
Italy to wines from the New World including South Africa,
Australia, the United States and New Zealand and of course,
we only offer you the top picks. |

Vieux Chateau Landon 2002
Situated in Medoc, Vieux Chateau Landon is a small Chateau which
has a very limited production every year. A large portion of its
production is served exclusively on Cathay Pacific. The 2002 vintage
is a full-bodied wine with complex notes of red fruits, spices,
coffee, chocolate, and a touch of vanilla. In addition, it is
well-integrated with tannins from ripe fruits. This delicious wine
goes well with most of the meat dishes. |

Chateau Branaire Ducru 1998 – Grand Cru Classé Saint- Julien 4th Growth
Chateau Branaire-Ducru, an elegant Grand Cru wine from Saint
Julien of Haut Medoc, Bordeaux, offers beautiful floral,
raspberry and ripe black cherry characters with a mineral
note and well-integrated fine tannins. The 1998 Chateau
Branaire-Ducru is made with a higher proportion of Merlot
grapes than the other vintages, making the wine very delicate
and fleshy. It goes perfectly well with all kinds of red meat
and stewed dishes. |

Climbing Chardonnay 2005
The 2005 Climbing Chardonnay was made from the grapes grown in
Orange, New South Wales, Australia. This area with its cool
climate produces rich and fresh Chardonnay, offering special
flavours of citrus and nectarine fruits. The buttery notes from
the French oak add complexity to the wine. This is an exquisite
wine with a long finish. It goes perfectly well with seafood dishes. |
