Cathay Pacific to Launch Direct Flights from Dallas to Hong Kong in April 2025 – A Game Changer for Travelers!

Starting April 24, 2025, Cathay Pacific is set to revolutionize air travel between the southern United States and Asia with the introduction of its new nonstop flights from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) to Hong Kong. This significant milestone marks DFW as the airline's first major Southern hub and further solidifies Cathay Pacific’s commitment to expanding its North American presence.

The inaugural flight, CX897, will take off from DFW at 11:55 PM every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, landing in Hong Kong at 5:05 AM two days later. This new schedule provides seamless connections to Cathay Pacific's extensive Asian network, making travel more convenient for passengers. The return journey, flight CX898, departs Hong Kong at 4:05 PM on the same days, arriving back in Dallas at 5:55 PM, allowing travelers to maximize their time in either location.

Chris van den Hooven, Cathay Pacific's Senior Vice President for the Americas, expressed his excitement about this new route, stating, 'The arrival of Cathay Pacific at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is a tremendous milestone for us. It highlights our mission to connect passengers to vibrant Hong Kong and beyond.'

Sean Donohue, CEO of DFW Airport, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of direct connectivity between the two influential regions: 'This nonstop flight strengthens the cultural and commercial ties between Dallas and Hong Kong, enhancing DFW's international connectivity.'

Travelers can expect an exceptional long-haul experience aboard Cathay Pacific’s modern Airbus A350-1000 aircraft. Equipped with comfortable seating, top-notch inflight entertainment, and Wi-Fi across all classes—Business, Premium Economy, and Economy—passengers will enjoy a warm welcome and extensive services onboard. In addition, wellness amenities and a diverse array of culinary offerings from renowned Hong Kong restaurants like Louise, Pirata, and Duddell's will be available.

Currently, Cathay Pacific operates 88 return flights weekly to Hong Kong from various North American cities, including Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Toronto, and Vancouver. With the launch of DFW service, the airline is set to enhance its operational frequency in 2025, increasing its North America routes to 108 weekly return flights.
