i fly in this aircraft a month ago from hong kong to toronto..geez, seat pitch was horrible, cabin was very cramped and its pretty old though, looking at the aged carpets and seats. still nice for short haul flights, but not a good choice for long haul flights especially ones that are 16hrs long lyke hkg-yyz..777-300ERs are better
oh my gosh.. is this where sexy off duty pilots hang out?? lol. you all seem flight/air travel savvy!!! i'm impressed. Love watching these big birds taking off. it's quite mindblowing.
The reason for the slow climb is due to the fact that the Airbus A340-200 and 300 series engines are made for maximum cruise effeciency...not take-off. This explains the long take off rolls, and climb speeds.
Depends on the airline, not airspace. If you're flying United Airlines for example, no matter where you are, for example if you tamper with the smoke detectors in the lavatories, the FAA will charge you. But you're right in this case, Cathay Pacific wouldn't involve the FAA.
It does not make the distance longer - that's the quickest and most fuel efficient route if you count the earth's round shape and airflow patterns. The routes are calculated that way, the maps we see aren't exactly the same world we live in.
I taken the A343 from Taipei to Hong Kong last year! It's as good as an B744!

Well, you are wrong. Look at the engines --> they are CFM engines, while a 642 would have Rolls Royce engines (much larger).
