As was officially confirmed a couple of weeks ago (and as has been rumored for fairly a while),American will be launching nonstop daily Boeing 777-300ER flights between Los Angeles and Hong Kong as of September 7, 2016.
The flight will operate with the following schedule:Los Angeles to Hong Kong departing 1:55AM arriving 8:10AM (+1 day)

A large part of the motivation for the route is that it will allow American to improve the efficiency of their Dallas to Hong Kong flight,which presently sits on the ground in Hong Kong for 20.5 hours per day:The post American’s novel Los Angeles To Hong Kong Flight Now Bookable appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
