The Hong Kong-Seattle service will be operated using Cathay Pacific’s Airbus A350-900 aircraft, providing customers with fully flat beds in Business, spacious seats in Premium Economy and comfort in Economy cabins.
The 5-times weekly service complements Cathay Pacific’s North America summer schedule for 2026, which includes more than 110 return flights per week to Boston, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto and Vancouver.
This comes as Cathay Pacific continues to strengthen its presence in North America. In April this year, the airline debuted its direct passenger flights between Hong Kong and Dallas-Fort Worth, which will increase to daily from 26 October 2025 by popular demand, up from the current four return flights per week.
On the customer experience front, Cathay Pacific is enhancing travel between Hong Kong and North America. The airline’s award-winning Aria Suite Business class, all-new Premium Economy and refreshed Economy cabins are now available on selected daily flights to and from Vancouver. The airline is also opening its first-ever dedicated airport lounge in New York — a nearly 10,000-square-foot flagship lounge — when it moves to John F. Kennedy International Airport’s state-of-the-art Terminal 6 building in 2026.
Customers can also enjoy Cathay Pacific’s award-winning inflight entertainment experience, which has been named the world’s best by Skytrax, along with inflight menus developed together with Michelin-starred Hong Kong restaurants in every cabin class on long-haul flights from Hong Kong.
Cathay Pacific’s new Seattle service also provides more options for cargo customers. The belly space on Cathay Pacific’s passenger flights complements the close to 40 return freighter flights per week that Cathay Cargo will operate to North America at the peak of the 2026 summer season.
