Dragonair is adopting its parent carrier Cathay Pacific's long-haul economy seats across the majority of its fleet from March 2013.

The new economy seat features an increased width, “more personal storage space”, nine-inch touchscreen TVs, and USB / iPhone ports, as well as the new Studio on-demand in-flight entertainment system, with over 100 films, 500 TV programmes, nearly 900 music albums and over 20 radio channels.

Dragonair used to have a number of different seats in its economy class cabins, some of which you may still encounter:

The short-haul Airbus A320 offers a seat pitch of 29-30 inches. Seats are 17.5 inches wide and have a five degree recline. There is no entertainment system.
The larger A321 offers a pitch of 30-31 inches and its seats are 18.7 inches wide. Entertainment is via overhead screens and 16 audio channels. Some seats on both aircraft types have 110-volt power sockets. Catering depends on the length of the flight, with either snack boxes or a full meal service with a choice of two mains.

On the long-haul A330, type one has a seat pitch of 31-32 inches, while types two and three have 31-33 inches. All A330 seats are 18 inches wide and have a six-inch recline. Type one aircraft have overhead screens and offer 16 audio channels.  Selected seats have 110-volt power adapters. Type two and three A330s have personal 6.5-inch video screens showing 10 choices of film and offering 16 audio channels. Selected seats have 110-volt power adaptors. Catering on longer flights is via a trolley service offering two choices.

This was the final leg of my journey from Glasgow to Hanoi and, in case anyone is wondering about the routing via Hong Kong, it was, by a long mile, the best value on offer, when compared with routings via Bangkok or, indeed, with AF or VN direct into Hanoi. Having meandered landside during my wait between flights, I made use of my new immigration barcode to breeze... more
