Cathay Pacific Airways announced the expansion of its non-stop Boston to Hong Kong service from four to five flights per week. The additional flight will begin on May 5, 2016, just one year after Cathay Pacific's inaugural Boston to Hong Kong flight, which linked New England and Hong Kong directly for the first time. Adding to the current Tuesday/Wednesday/Friday/Sunday schedule, the additional flight CX811 will depart Boston every Thursday at 1:45am, arriving in Hong Kong the following day at 5:35am.

This early morning arrival allows passengers to connect with every Cathay Pacific flight across Asia – including Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and over 23 gateways in mainland China – without a layover in Hong Kong. The return flight, CX812, will add a Wednesday departure to the current Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday schedule. CX812 departs Hong Kong at 6:20pm (local time), arriving in Boston at 10:10pm (same day).
