International airline Cathay Pacific now offers a nonstop flight service from Hong Kong to Seattle.
Since the launch on March 31, the airline has been flying directly from HK to the US West Coast’s fastest-growing city four times a week through its Airbus A350-900. Passengers aboard the aircraft enjoy a relaxing ambiance, comfortable seating, enhanced inflight entertainment system, and Wi-Fi connectivity across all cabin classes.
“We are very pleased to be introducing Seattle and to provide more convenience and choice to our customers. There are strong business, trade, and cultural ties between Hong Kong and the city and we believe there will be considerable demand for both business and leisure travel on this new route,” said Cathay Pacific chief executive officer Rupert Hogg.
Dubbed as the “The Emerald City,” Seattle is the fourth largest export market in the United States and a thriving tech hub, home to a burgeoning startup scene.
Seattle is also a fantastic place to visit for discerning travelers. Known for its year-round greenery, the city offers beautiful and lush hiking trails for lovers of the outdoors, as well as magnificent views of Puget Sound, Lake Washington, and Mount Rainier from the observation deck atop Seattle’s iconic Space Needle (which, in itself, a setting for many romantic movie scenes).
The city is also celebrated for its quality dining options, with fresh seafood the cuisine of choice in its vibrant Pike Place Market community in the heart of downtown. There are also museums and attractions aplenty, with the Seattle Children’s Museum, the Woodland Park Zoo, the Seattle Aquarium, and the city’s famous Museum of Flight providing great days out for families.
