West Coast flyers can take advantage of a new nonstop route to Asia.<\/p>\n

Well, not new exactly. As of March 30, Cathay Pacific has relaunched flights between its home hub of Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA).<\/p>\n

The airline previously operated this route from April 2019 until November 2020, when it dropped SEA along with Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Dulles International Airport (IAD) near Washington, D.C., from its route map due to coronavirus pandemic-related challenges.<\/p>\n

As of Monday, March 30, however, this Pacific Northwest route is back.<\/p>\n

“After the pandemic, we always wanted to come back to Seattle,” Ronald Lam, CEO of the Cathay Group, told TPG. “We believe now is the right time.”<\/p>\n

To see what this service is all about, we were among the first flyers to experience the relaunched route. Here’s what’s in store for other travelers.<\/p>\n
