For those of you like me who jump over the Pacific to Asia from San Francisco, Cathay Pacific has added a second daily flight to Hong Kong and a direct flight to Guangzhou, China.

Other news from Cathay is that in May they embarked on a project to upgrade seating on their fleets aircraft.

The new refitting economy class will offer seats that recline in a less evasive manner than the present ones, newly designed head rests, individual TV monitors and an overall improved entertainment system. While business class will offer lay flat seating. http://www.cathaypacific.com/cpa/en_US/whatonboard/previewthenewseats
