Cathay Pacific Starting Hong Kong To Dusseldorf Flights

Here's one that really surprised me at first, but makes perfect sense after further consideration.

Cathay Pacific announced today that they'll launch 4x weekly flights (Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays) between Hong Kong and Dusseldorf as of September 1, 2015.

The flight will be operated by a four class 777-300ER (meaning it will feature first class, business class, premium economy, and economy), and operate with the following schedule:

Lucky’s Lucky 7th: Favorite Travel Memories

I'm celebrating seven years of blogging this week, and it has been a really fun first few days. Hearing about your best mileage redemptions and seeing your travel photos (check out the gallery -- you guys are amazing photographers) has been really fun.
