Cathay Pacific's own seating plan numbers this aircraft in blocks rather than in one sequence: each cabin begins at a fixed number rather than carrying on from the one in front — First at rows 1 and 2, Business from row 11, Premium Economy from row 30, Economy from row 39, and the rear Economy section from row 59, behind the mid-cabin exit. So there are no rows 3 to 10, no rows 13 or 14, and none of rows 27 to 29, 36 to 38 or 47 to 58. Cathay does not say why it numbers this way; that reading is ours, from its own plan.

What we could not settle on this aircraft

Cathay prints its row numbers down the left-hand edge of this plan, and those numbers only ever reach the seats on the left-hand side of the aeroplane. The three right-hand Premium Economy rows — the H and K pairs — carry no printed number at all. We have numbered them 33, 34 and 35, because Cathay's own page says the Premium Economy bassinet is "in row 33" and its own plan puts that bassinet on the wall directly in front of the first of those three rows. Every other seat on this aircraft is numbered straight off Cathay's drawing and the whole cabin adds up to Cathay's own 294. If your boarding pass says 32H or 32K rather than 33H or 33K, this is the one thing on this page we would ask Cathay about.

About this cabin

Cathay Pacific's 777-300ER in this configuration seats 294 (F/J/J/J/W/W/W/W/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y). This layout is verified against the airline's own published materials, dated within the last six months. Cathay Pacific flies 3 different cabins on the 777-300ER — this is one of them. This is a version lottery: the flight page will tell you which one you're actually booked on where we can determine it.

Quick pick, by traveller

If you're…PickWhy
Travelling solo12AA window seat rated highly with nothing working against it — lean on the wall, control the shade, nobody climbing over you.
Travelling as a couple12DThis row's layout puts a genuine two-seat pair here — no middle seat exists in this group, so it's just the two of you.
Tall passengers11DGenuine extra legroom that also still reclines — not every extra-legroom seat does.
Trying to sleep12AA window seat away from galley and lavatory traffic, so aisle lights and trolley passes are less likely to wake you.

Seat map

First class

First class spans rows 1–2 in a 1-1-1 layout. Worth avoiding: 1D, 1A, 1K, 2D — next to galley.

Business class

Business class spans rows 11–12 and 15–26 in a 1-2-1 layout. Worth avoiding: 15A, 16D, 16G, 16A — next to galley.

Premium Economy

Premium Economy spans rows 30–35 in a 4-seat layout. Worth avoiding: 31C, 31D, 31G, 32C — next to lavatory.

Cathay Pacific draws the last Premium Economy row as the starboard pair alone and prints no row number against it — see the caveat at the top of this page for how it came to be numbered 35. Cathay does not say what stands where the port pair and the centre block would be.

Economy

Economy spans rows 39–46 and 59–72 in a 2-4 layout. Worth avoiding: 72A, 72C, 72D, 72G — seat doesn't recline.

The cabin narrows towards the tail and Cathay Pacific's own plan drops the centre block from four seats to three — D, E and G — from row 69 back. Cathay letters these narrowed rows itself; no F is issued.

Known quirks on this aircraft

  • Seat doesn't recline (7 seats: 35H, 35K, 72A, and 4 more) — This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight.
  • Often cold or draughty (16 seats: 1A, 1K, 2A, and 13 more) — Seats next to a bulkhead or door on a long-haul widebody are usually the coldest in the cabin — bring a layer for this one.
  • High foot traffic (28 seats: 1D, 2D, 16D, and 25 more) — This aisle seat sits right next to a lavatory, galley or exit, so expect a steady stream of people brushing past, especially early and late in the flight.
  • No underseat storage (24 seats: 1A, 1D, 1K, and 21 more) — Bulkhead and exit-row seats have nothing in front of the seat to store a bag under, so your bag must go in the overhead bin for the whole flight.

Frequently asked

How many seats does Cathay Pacific's 777-300ER have in this configuration?
294 seats in total, arranged as F/J/J/J/W/W/W/W/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y. This is one specific configuration — Cathay Pacific's fleet may include other configurations of the same aircraft type, covered below.
Is this the only cabin layout Cathay Pacific flies on the 777-300ER?
No — Cathay Pacific flies 3 different cabin layouts on the 777-300ER for this one. Check your specific flight's aircraft registration where possible, since booking the same route twice can put you on a different layout.
Which seats should I avoid?
Seat 1D in First class is worth avoiding: A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. The full seat map marks every seat we'd steer you away from, with the specific reason for each.
How confident are you in this seat map?
This configuration is marked "verified" — every section and row range confirmed against the airline's own current published material. See the sources and last-verified date lower on this page.
Has a real person checked these individual seat scores?
Not yet for this specific configuration. The scores above come from our rules engine, which reasons from real aircraft geometry, but they aren't marked as human-verified until someone has actually reviewed the unusual ones — see the verification section below for the current status.
