Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) stays booked and busy year-round, adding new non-stop routes annually, and the latest one’s a big deal for international travelers.
Cathay Pacific has officially launched its first-ever nonstop passenger flights between DFW and Hong Kong, making it the only direct flight available between Texas and Hong Kong. Starting April 24, passengers can take advantage of four-times-weekly service.
“DFW’s growth in passenger service also creates new ways of connecting people, cultures, and economies. We are excited to welcome Cathay Pacific and open a new nonstop gateway between Hong Kong and North Texas, enhancing global access and deepening the ties that drive innovation and commerce,” DFW Chief Executive Officer Sean Donohue shared in a press release.
The flights will operate on Airbus A350-1000 aircraft, a modern widebody plane that comfortably seats between 350 and 410 passengers in a three-class configuration. Flights depart DFW at 10:55pm and arrive at HKG at 6:35am, available Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
In addition to the DFW service, Cathay Pacific will also offer three return flights to New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles, as well as daily return flights to both Boston and Chicago.
