Hong Kong Airlines seeks to boost the passenger travel experience with a comprehensive suite of service upgrades spanning baggage policy, inflight dining, online check-in, airport lounge facilities and some unique products.

The enhancements reaffirm the airline’s commitment to blending international standards with authentic Hong Kong character, offering passengers greater value across every touchpoint of their journey.

Airline chairman Yan Bo said: “At Hong Kong Airlines, our commitment to ‘Serve with Heart’ represents a pivotal step in our mission to redefine full-service travel through authentic Hong Kong hospitality.  By infusing local cultural elements into every journey touchpoint, from Michelin Cantonese cuisine to beloved local street food, we are transforming our city’s unique charm into a globally recognised signature.” 

Rethinking inflight service

The whole service upgrade programme synergises perfectly with Hong Kong Airlines’ network expansion, including key long-haul routes to Vancouver and Sydney.

That said, the upgrades are expected to drive the airline’s  transition from a regional hub carrier to a global full-service airline. 

Yan added: “Supported by the three-runway system’s increased capacity and our global lounge partnership with Plaza Premium Group, we are strengthening our role as an aviation bridge that connects China with the world while delivering exceptional point-to-point and transit flight experiences.”

Currently offered for Japan routes landing or flying from Tokyo (NRT), Osaka (KIX), and Nagoya (NGO), this service marks a significant step for Hong Kong Airlines in promoting pet-friendly travel and creating unforgettable memories for passengers with their four-legged friends at 30,000 feet.
