Cathay Pacific has announced it will resume its Hong Kong to Seattle route next year, expanding its presence in the United States. The service, which will operate five times weekly using Airbus A350-900 aircraft, is set to restart on March 30, 2026. This marks the airline's return to the route after a six-year hiatus.
The flights will run on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Eastbound flight CX852 departs Hong Kong at 13:10 and arrives in Seattle at 10:10 after an 11-hour and 40-minute journey. The westbound return flight CX853 leaves Seattle at 11:50 and lands in Hong Kong at 16:45 the following day after nearly 14 hours in the air. During the peak summer months between May 31 and September 16, departure times from Seattle will shift by about 25 minutes later.
Lavinia Lau, Cathay Pacific’s Chief Customer & Commercial Officer, stated: "This route not only provides greater convenience for our customers, but also supports the growing demand for connectivity between Asia and North America, particularly among travellers from the Chinese Mainland and India."
