In this trip report, we take a look at Cathay Pacific’s A350-900 Business Class product on board a flight between Hong Kong and Dublin.
After I disembark from my flight from Sydney, I spend my transit time in Hong Kong refreshing at Cathay’s “The Wing” lounge. Due to my Oneworld Emerald status, I have access to the First Class section of the lounge which features a champagne lounge, dining area (with a-la-carte and buffet dining), large seating area, tended bar, Cabanas, Shower Suites and a business area.
When it comes time to boarding CX 301, I’m one of the first to board due to my Oneworld Emerald status. Once on board, I review the updated Business Class product, which is an improvement on the current product seen already on the B777 and A330. I take a look at the seat, storage areas, lighting, IFE, seat positions, etc.
During the 13 hour flight, two meal services are provided – supper (after take-off) and breakfast (prior to landing). Much of the flight is during nighttime hours so I’m able to try the lie-flat bed, which measures at 190 cm. While I get a good rest on the aircraft, it’s important to note that Cathay does not provide pyjamas or a mattress topper in Business Class.
Upon arrival in Dublin, I’m one of the first off the plane. I pass through Irish immigration/customs then make my way to the Conrad Hotel.

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
