CX: They Feel.. Chicago and more feeling of New York.

Cathay Pacific has decided to feel a new city, and are off to Chicago, whilst boosting it's New York Services, with CX announcing...

"We are extremely pleased to be launching passenger service to one of America’s greatest cities"

There's a whole load of PR as well, but lets drill down to the details.

Operated by a Boeing 777-300ER, Cathay will run a daily non-stop service from Hong Kong to Chicago and back.

CX807    ORD 15:25    HKG 20:00+1

Commences: 01/09/2011,  Times are local, accounting for International Date Line

As well as Chicago, for those who don't want to wander to the Mid-west, East Coast to Hong Kong services are being beefed up too, with the addition of a 3rd service from HKG to JFK.

This will be thrice weekly from 27 March 2011 going daily 02 May 2011, being a non stop flight with a Boeing 777-300ER

All other services - including the one-stopper via Vancouver (for those who want to remember what service is when flying in North America) will remain available.

A nice expansion. But how much Robbie Williams can you taken when on hold to them?
