One of my recent business trip required me to fly all the way to Tianjin, China.
As this is not a popular route, MAS and Air Asia did not offer direct flight to Tianjin. So, I have resorted to fly with Cathay Pacific instead which include a stopover in Hong Kong.
I am lucky enough to have experienced both MAS and Air Asia business class seats for lower rates. But this time, it is TOTALLY FREE.
But to be as honest as I can be, if you asked me, I would still very much prefer the business section for MAS or Air Asia.
The business class seat on Cathay is quite small and crampy actually even for a Asian guy like me. But anyway it is still much better compared to the Economy class anyway.
As usual, the services provided in this section was really first class.
The food. (Nothing like the Pak Nasser's Nasi Lemak).
The seat in this section, unlike the other airline, came with the massage function for your back!
Four hours flight with food and wine, and free massage services, i couldn't have asked for more!
I am spoilt. Really.

How it happened, i am not too sure. I booked via the airline website for economy class, but when I went into the boarding room, I was stopped by the ladies at the gate and asked me to step aside due to some "minor issue".
A few things crossed my mind. I have paid my income taxes. I paid my PTPTN. Or am I wanted for some sort of national security issue?
Funny thing was I overheard their conversation. (Whispering)
"This passenger's seating arrangement has a little problem. The seat was broken and can't be repaired in time".
Then one of the staff turned to me and says. "Dear Mr. Wong, as you are one of the Marco Polo member of our airline, we are pleased to upgrade you to the business section of the plane. Do you have any problem with that?"
Hell No! Why would I?
Funny thing was there were no mention about the broken seats at all!

Comes with unlimited supplies of alcoholic beverages. (I Ordered a glass of champagne and a glass of wine).
All the normal stuff you will come across if you travelling on a business class section.
But the main difference this time?
Lets have a guess. See if you can noticed anything unusual from this picture.
