    Default Cathay Pacific Will Add BOS - HKG

    Cathay Pacific has announced at a joint press conference at the Massachusetts State House with Massachusetts Secretary of Transportation, Richard Davey, President and CEO of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, Paul Guzzi, and Thomas P. Glynn, CEO, Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport), that it will commence a new four-times-weekly nonstop service from Boston Logan International Airport to Hong Kong on May 3, 2015, subject to government approval. The new service will link New England and Hong Kong directly for the first time, and marks Cathay Pacific’s sixth gateway in the United States, and eighth in North America. The airline, which was recently named “World’s Best Airline” in the 2014 annual Skytrax World Airline Awards™, currently serves Chicago, Los Angeles, New York (JFK), Newark, San Francisco, Toronto and Vancouver. 2014 saw a huge increase in capacity, with the launch of a daily Newark service, the addition of a fourth daily flight from Los Angeles, and three additional flights per week from Chicago.

    Not much different than JFK or EWR-HKG, which have existed for quite some time

    I've done the EWR-PEK route. I think it was some 13 hours. Going over Greenland. It was a polar route. Anything East Coast to Asia directly is a LONG HAUL and a half.

    My last CX JFK-HKG flight flew directly over the north pole. No sign of Santa or his reindeer. 16:21 flying time.
