Quick Hit: Cathay Business Class For 2+ (Nov 2023)
There's a chunk of space from/to LAX and Boston in November 2023. I wouldn't expect this space to last for too long so I'd book sooner rather than later.
*Please note that many dates don't seem to be bookable via partners so Cathay's Asia Miles program might be the only option on some dates. Even if AA shows the space, it might not be bookable.
Now, let's get into it!

Final Thoughts
If you're an AvGeek, you'll love flying into/out of Hong Kong, If you're a foodie, you'll love all of the food you can eat while there. Whatever you're looking for, Hong Kong is an amazing place to visit.
Even if you're not looking to visit Hong Kong, Cathay business class still provides a great way to visit other parts of Asia. Plus, with four seats, you can bring the whole family.
Happy booking!
