JFK to Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific Aria Suite: The Long-Haul Route Review
Cathay Pacific's JFK-HKG sector is the longest non-stop into Hong Kong from the Americas and one of three city pairs the carrier has prioritised for its new Aria Suite hard product. We flew CX 845 westbound on the Aria-fitted A350-1000 to test whether the new cabin actually changes the way a 16-hour overnight reads — and how it compares to Singapore Airlines' EWR-SIN ULR, the one-stop via London, and the Cathay First Class option that still operates on the 777-300ER rotation.
