Cathay Pacific sees rise in premium travel
CEO Tony Tyler said that Cathay Pacific is seeing a rise in bookings of first and business class travel, although he cautions that they are far from complete recovery.
“At the moment we are seeing some recovery in premium travel, that is largely seasonal. The structural recovery will probably come when the world economy is on a firmer basis,” Tyler told reporters on the sidelines of a business conference in Singapore.

Disney Parks releases wait time app
Want to know when is the best time to see Mickey Mouse or how long the wait is for Space Mountain? If you’re a Verizon Wireless customer, you can do that with Disney’s Mobile Magic.
The “Mobile Magic” application for Verizon customers marks the first time Disney is making its own real- time updates about ride wait times, FastPass distribution, character locations and events available to the public in a digital form.
The app costs $9.99 for 180 days of use and will initially be available for download on about 30 Verizon “feature phones.” Eventually, Verizon plans to make the app available on smartphones including BlackBerrys and the recently launched Motorola Droid. The program uses GPS to determine the phone’s location and display information about nearby rides, restaurants, events and characters.
