When to book
Lunar New Year, the summer holidays and late December are the busiest periods. Winter weather in Chicago can disrupt connections, so allow a comfortable connection time in the colder months.
Direct vs. one-stop
The nonstop is the best choice from Chicago. From other Midwest cities, a one-ticket connection through O'Hare is usually the simplest route.
When to call a travel expert
If this trip involves a stopover, a premium cabin, family seating, or anything urgent, a named expert can handle the whole itinerary in one conversation.
Connecting from across the Midwest
Chicago O'Hare is the Midwest's Cathay Pacific gateway. American Airlines, a fellow oneworld member, connects many Midwest cities to O'Hare, so travellers from places such as Detroit, Minneapolis or St. Louis can often reach Hong Kong with one connection.
Booking the domestic flight and the Cathay Pacific flight on one ticket means bags are checked through and the airlines are responsible for the connection if the first flight is delayed. On separate tickets, a late arrival in Chicago can mean a missed flight with no protection.
O'Hare is large, and international departures leave from a different terminal from many domestic flights. When you call, your expert checks the connection time and terminals before you book.
