United Airlines announced it is offering customers a second daily nonstop flight between San Francisco and Hong Kong.

Beginning 26 October, United Airlines will operate two daily nonstop flights between San Francisco and Hong Kong giving customers the choice of midday or late-night departures from both airports.

“The addition of a second daily nonstop flight between San Francisco and Hong Kong offers customers more flexibility and convenience when planning travel to one of the world’s largest business markets,” Patrick Quayle, vice president of international network, United Airlines said.

United Airlines’ schedule between San Francisco and Hong Kong offers business and leisure customers more flexibility when planning travel. The new evening departure from San Francisco gives travellers a morning arrival in Hong Kong to start their day and the new evening departure from Hong Kong will arrive in San Francisco in the evening. These two flights combined will offer customers more options to connect to 80 destinations beyond San Francisco.

This year, United Airlines started nonstop seasonal service from San Francisco to Amsterdam; and extended Auckland, New Zealand and Tahiti, French Polynesia services to year-round. The airline also began a second daily flight to Seoul, South Korea and twice-daily service to Toronto, Canada.

With these new routes, the airline will serve 29 international destinations from San Francisco.
