        Cathay Pacific will begin flying the advanced Airbus A350 to Auckland in the second half of this year, although Australia is unlikely to see the fuel-efficient jetliner until 2017.

                I flew A359 from Doha to Philadelphia
                Cabin ambiance was good...
                washrooms were good
                Seats were bit uncomfortable
                Overhead bins were excellent
                Good size tinted windows

                Not bad for a 14 hour flight

                  Nice pic! When did this picture was taken? what's her registration & msn number? Btw CX's 2nd A350 (Msn32/B-LRB) was painted some time end of Nov last year.
