During a 9hr layover at HKIA you can actually pay $50 for a buffet meal, shower, lounge/laydown, and a 15min massage. If you're part of any airline's frequent flyer lounges (they have most of those amenities for free).

Cathay Pacific has pretty good food (desserts are often haagendaz ice cream), entertainment (personal touch screen HD modules with a ton of movies/shows/docs - I watched a whole season of Top Gear, The Avengers, To Rome With Love, and the Savages on the return flight), and seats. Mind you all of this is available Economy, I was personally sitting in Business (but have done this flight sitting in Economy and the only big difference is the seats when it comes to Cathay).

The way I see it Economy on Cathay is awesome as long as you've got an isle seat.

well, not really saved but we helped!... me and a couple of friends were in the bar and we heard a crashing sound and this foreigner was having what we believe was an epileptic seizure. his date was helpless and there wasn't a doctor around. no one really knew what to do and he's really turning pale, so I kinda coached the waiters to get him off the booth, lie him down. a waiter stuck something in his mouth and we told his date to unbutton his shirt and pants. another guy offered to bring him to the hospital so we carried him (and he's kinda big) out of the bar and in his car. after a while the guy came back and told us he's fine. it also got me thinking- I really should get insurance when I travel.
