HNL is ULCC. SEA eats into YVR and already has HKA. Denver, low O/D and operational issues. Dallas already has AA.

The following cities are Las Vegas, Austin, Miami, Houston, Salt Lake City, Honolulu, Seattle, Denver, and Dallas.
Thought?

Did that Instagram story state that CX was adding a new city or are you making up a false rumor because they happened to have had a cross word puzzle?

Seattle and Vancouver are three hours apart if no traffic and border crossing delays. I always think this is a fallacy that just brcause an airline serves one city 3 hours away, everyone is going to drive up there to catch a flight. They are two different markets.

Airlines do use airports like HGH as an alternative to PVG. Or using JHB as an alternative to SIN.

Joburg is pretty far away as an alternative to Singapore. HGH and PVG are connected via high speed rail that covers the trip in 45 mins and more importantly you dont need to clear customs between PVG and HGH! Why would an inbound passenger obtain Canadian visa (and clear Canadian customs) just to get to SEA?

You have a morning coffee (or tea) whilst doing crossword. This says Starbucks. Therefore, its SEA.

Can we please stop mentioned AUS in every thread? I'm being cheeky, but come on. It's the new DTW, which was the new MIA.
Irehdna wrote:Will not be MIA. The city doesn't have a non-stop to even Japan. Moreover, MIA-HKG is more than 800km further than even SFO-SIN, and out of range from A359.
I'm thinking IAH or SEA, more likely IAH.

SEA would be an April Fools Joke.
