Launching service to Hong Kong and Chicago from LAX underscore Delta’s continued investment in LAX as a premier coastal gateway for both international and domestic travel.
Flights to Hong Kong will be operated daily with Airbus A350-900s featuring four product experiences: Delta One, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort and Delta Main. Delta One offers lie-flat seating, premium bedding and a seasonal chef-curated four-course meal. Delta Premium Select provides wider seats with deeper recline and enhanced amenities for a more spacious and relaxing journey.
Flights to Chicago O’Hare will operate three times daily on the Boeing 737-800, featuring Delta First, Delta Comfort and Delta Main. All cabins are equipped with seatback entertainment, fast, free Wi-Fi for Sky Miles Members, power at every seat, and consistent onboard service designed to make the journey enjoyable from takeoff to landing.
In addition to serving growing passenger demand, the new route significantly strengthens Delta Cargo’s transpacific network, creating a vital new freight corridor between two of the world’s most robust cargo markets. Operated by a widebody Airbus A350 aircraft with the capacity to carry more than 20 tons of cargo per flight, the service expands our ability to transport high-value shipments — including electronics, e-commerce and perishables.
The addition of Hong Kong also strengthens the Delta–Korean Air Joint Venture, further expanding the partnership’s reach and enhancing travel options for customers across the Pacific.
