Washington State Flights Upgraded

Cathay Pacific will upgrade its forthcoming non-stop service to Seattle to daily from summer 2019, further strengthening the only direct link between Hong Kong and the bustling city on the west coast of the United States, and offering our customers more choice and increased convenience.

To be launched on 31 March next year as a four-times-weekly operation, the airline is upping frequency from 1 July 2019 to meet thriving demand. The additional services are scheduled to depart Hong Kong on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; returning the following day from Seattle.
