Flight Review: Cathay Pacific Aria Suite CX453/4 Premium Economy

Cathay Pacific's flights from Incheon to Hong Kong offer a solid option for travelers heading south. The route is short—about 3 hours and 30 minutes—but Cathay deploys its Boeing 777-300ER on some services. That's where the new Aria Suite in Business and the refreshed Premium Economy come in.
