Tolerable? If your basic standard is universally dreadful North American airlines you are about to discover what they should be doing, and how, despite the limitations of economy class, flying can actually be reasonably pleasant.

It highly depends on whether your body agrees with CX's economy seats on their 777-300ER, which is unlike economy seats on any other airline. They have a hard shell, so the seat in front won't recline onto you. The seat back kind of slides down and forward a little, instead of reclining. Reviews are mixed. Some like it (which I assume are those who don't recline their seats anyways), while some find them very uncomfortable for longhaul.

I'm one who didn't like the hardshell on Cathay Pacific economy and I'm not a big person. There seems to be a lot less room for maneuverng around. Apparently I'm not the only one as Cathay Pacific is using those hardshells on short hauls only.

Otherwise, the "normal" seats in CP are quite comfortable.
