CATHAY PACIFIC RELAXES MASK RULE FOR PREMIUM PASSENGERS

-

CATHAY PACIFIC WILL EXEMPT first and business class passengers from wearing face masks when sleeping, according to updated guidelines shared with cabin crew.

The Hong Kong-based carrier recently issued an internal memo designed to help crew “understand the circumstan­ces under which mask wearing is exempted”.

Although passengers are still required to wear face masks throughout the flight, with the exception of eating and drinking, travellers in premium cabins will also be exempt while resting.

“Seats in first and business class are more spacious with partitions, and passengers are exempted when lying flat for sleep,” a Cathay Pacific spokespers­on told Business Traveller.
