Step Inside the New Aria Suite Business Class at Chadstone
Experience luxury in-flight comfort from the ground up as Cathay Pacific brings its revolutionary new Aria Suite to life at Melbourne’s Chadstone Shopping Centre for a limited-time showcase from Thursday, 14 August to Saturday, 16 August 2025.
In a first-of-its-kind activation, the airline is giving Melburnians the chance to step inside a full-scale mock-up of the Aria Suite Business class seat, part of the reimagined cabin launching on select flights between Melbourne and Hong Kong from 3 August. Alongside Business class, the showcase also features the all-new Premium Economy seat – both designed with exceptional comfort, style and personal space in mind.
A Showcase of Innovation and Elegance
Located on the lower ground floor of Chadstone Shopping Centre (near Target), the Cathay Pacific kiosk will be staffed by friendly cabin crew, offering visitors a personalised boarding pass and a guided tour through the airline’s next-generation interiors.
The Aria Suite Business class is built for the modern traveller. The spacious new design includes intuitive seating controls, elegant finishes, and increased privacy, delivering a heightened in-flight experience that balances comfort and class. Whether you’re a frequent flyer or just dreaming of your next escape, this is your chance to see, touch, and feel the suite before it even takes flight.
Be in to Win a Trip to Hong Kong
Every visitor who receives a personalised ticket at the kiosk is automatically entered into a major giveaway – two return Business class tickets to Hong Kong aboard the retrofitted Boeing 777-300ER, flying daily as CX104 and CX105 from Melbourne from 3 August 2025.
But that’s not all. Random instant prizes like Cathay Pacific luggage tags and tote bags will also be up for grabs, stamped onto tickets when printed at the activation booth.
A Closer Look at Premium Economy
Alongside the Aria Suite, Cathay Pacific will also showcase its upgraded Premium Economy cabin. With custom seat cushions, privacy wings, a leather headrest and integrated reading light, every detail has been rethought to offer a sense of space and seclusion in the sky.
This upgrade is part of the airline’s broader commitment to elevating the travel experience across all cabin classes.
