An amazing month of deals to Hong Kong. A lot of this has to do with the new additional capacity to Hong Kong from the United States — over 300 daily new seats from American out of Dallas, over 200 daily new seats from Delta out of Seattle and over 600 daily new seats from Cathay Pacific out of Newark, Los Angeles plus an additional 900 weekly new seats from Cathay Pacific out of Chicago. Until demand catches up with supply or until supply is cut, fares to Hong Kong for travel between January – April and September – November should be very reasonable out of United, Delta and American hubs going forward.
