Flights from Hong Kong to John F Kennedy Intl: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from Hong Kong to John F Kennedy Intl 
Verified travelerFlew with Cathay Pacific-Mar 2026
Hong Kong Internatonal AirPort is great. Be in the AirPort at least 2 hours before departíng.
Verified travelerFlew with Cathay Pacific-Nov 2024
Hong Kong was a good connecting flight airport (though you need to dump all liquids between connecting flights as you need to go through a security checkpoint, which is a pain). Boarding was a bit painful due to disorganization (everyone rushing to board at once), not many power outlets near our gate worked, and airplane bathrooms were a mess by halfway through the flight.
