3 Days, 2 Nights, 1 Flight: Cathay's Time-Bending New Dallas Route
24.09.2024 - 19:57 / skift.com / Cathay Pacific / Gordon Smith
A new nonstop flight from Dallas Fort Worth straddles three days. On Wednesday, Cathay Pacific announced it will launch services from Hong Kong to and from the Texan hub.
At 15 hours on the outbound and more than 16 hours on the return, the trip is always going to be a long one. However, a quirk of scheduling – and the small matter of the International Date Line – sees the journey encompass multiple days.
Operating as Flight CX897, the new service departs DFW at 11:55 pm local time, arriving at 5:05 am two days later. In practice, this could mean boarding on Monday night and disembarking on Wednesday morning. The opposite is true when flying in the other direction. Passengers leave Hong Kong just after 4 pm and touch down on the same day in Texas shortly before 6 pm.
Cathay’s new service reinforces Dallas Fort Worth’s emerging position as a global epicenter of the oneworld alliance. The airport is home to the corporate headquarters of American Airlines and the alliance itself. In recent years it has also attracted increased capacity from major players including Qantas, British Airways, Qatar Airways, Finnair, and Iberia.
In an exclusive interview with Skift in July, new oneworld CEO Nat Pieper explained his approach to sustained growth at the 13-member organization.
Only a fraction of passengers on the new route will start and end their journey in Hong Kong and Dallas. Cathay and its oneworld partners use the airport to tap into lucrative connecting traffic, as highlighted by Cathay Group Chief Customer and Commercial Officer Lavinia Lau: “Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is one of the world’s busiest airports. With our Cathay Pacific codeshares as well as other flight options, customers can connect to over 190 domestic destinations in the United States, as well as 11 destinations in Central and South America via DFW.”
The new service will operate four times weekly and is due to begin on April 24, 2025, subject to final regulatory approval. Cathay Pacific’s flagship Airbus A350-1000 is rostered on the route with 46 business class seats, 32 premium economy options, and a large economy cabin with 256 seats. Notably, it won’t feature the highly anticipated Aria Suite, which is due to launch on the Boeing 777-300ER later this year.
It’s the first time in the airline’s history that Cathay has served Dallas Fort Worth, however, the airline is no stranger to North America. The carrier launched nonstop flights to Vancouver in 1983 and today serves eight destinations across the continent with 88 weekly departures. By 2025, this figure is due to rise to 108 per week, including thrice-daily flights to New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
The development comes as Cathay fights to regain market

Southwest Is Making Its Way to Europe Thanks to This New Partnership — What to Know
A popular low-cost air airline is expanding globally. Southwest Airlines recently announced a partnership to offer international flights by partnering with carriers who operate international fights in Southwest markets. “Southwest is formalizing partnerships with international carriers to expand its network and connect Customers with more global destinations to generate additional demand for travel across the Southwest network,” Southwest shared in a news release.
