Cathay Pacific currently has five types of Economy Class, different on each aircraft. From the oldest 2007 type to the newest 2021 type, each has its own unique features.

===== 2007 Economy Class (ex. 330, 340, 747, 777) =====

The phased-out old Economy Class seats, previously offered on aircraft outfitted with the refurbished long-haul interiors, were designed by [[BE Aerospace|B/E Aerospace]] and introduced in July 2008.<ref>{{cite web |date=9 June 2010 |title=Cathay, Air France Add Airbags as Crash Rules Tighten |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=axouL16vRjxM |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150222033538/http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=axouL16vRjxM |archive-date=22 February 2015 |access-date=23 December 2016 |publisher=Bloomberg}}</ref> These seats include a fixed back design (shell) that allows passengers to recline without intruding on those seated behind, a {{convert|9|in|cm|abbr=on}} PTV providing AVOD, AC power located behind a larger tray table, a coat hook and a literature pocket that has been relocated to below the seat cushion to create more legroom.
