Cathay Pacific Fleet Airbus A330-300 Cabin Interior Class Configuration and Seats Layout

Cathay Pacific configured Airbus A330-300 with 3 different cabin layout configuration.

The configuration is (33E) Two class V1, (33K) Three class, and (33P) Two class V2 New Regional.

Cathay Pacific uses the Zodiac, now Safran, Cirrus reverse herringbone seats in 1-2-1 layout split across two cabins: 28 in the front cabin and 11 behind the second aircraft door.

The middle seats angle towards each other and lack a privacy panel.

However, the seats are positioned back far enough that you cannot see your neighbor unless you lean forward.

Window seats face towards the windows where you’ll have 2 windows to look out.

The ottoman and footwell are quite large for a A330 business class seat and it has a footrest on the floor in front.

It misses out on a storage space under the ottoman like you would find on a Super Diamond reverse herringbone seat.

An open storage bin alongside the window has a pocket to hold a water bottle.
