Cathay Pacific

Hong Kong–Dublin

The Emerald Isle is now even closer for travelers based in Hong Kong, thanks to the June 2 debut of Cathay’s four-times-weekly services to the Irish capital aboard its Airbus A350 aircraft. Departing after midnight on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, the outward flight of just under 13 hours will reach Dublin by 7 a.m. local time, before turning around for the 12-hour run back to Hong Kong ( cathaypacific.com).

Dubai–Bali–Auckland Emirates

Complementing Emirates’ existing nonstop flights to Auckland, June 14 will see the launch of an additional daily service via Bali. This will break up the 16-hour journey into two manageable segments while offering passengers the only year-round flights between Auckland and Indonesia’s favorite holiday island, taking eight hours to New Zealand and nine hours and 15 minutes on the return leg ( emirates.com).
