Cathay Pacific offers one of the all around most solid first class products, in my opinion. I don't think they're necessarily the best in any one area, but they're one of the airlines that's truly "solid" all around from the seat to the service to the food to the bedding to the entertainment to their lounges.
Back in the day a majority of Cathay Pacific's longhaul fleet consisted of 747s, though over time they've retired 747s to the point that it's mostly just 777s they're flying longhaul.
And only a subfleet of those 777s feature a first class cabin.
So, what are the best seats in Cathay Pacific's 777 first class?

Technology is a beautiful thing. It enables me to do what I love for a living every day. iPhone apps are also a lovely thing. They enable all kinds of things, from an on-demand car service, to other on-demand "services."
CNN had a story today about a new iPhone app which will tell you the chances of your plane crashing. "Am I Going Down?" is available in the iTunes store for 99 cents.
When you use the app you enter your origin, destination, airline, and aircraft, and it will tell you the probability of you "going down."
So, you want to fly British Airways on a 747 from New York to London?
