Seattle – Hong Kong
UA017 SEA1305 – 1930+1HKG D10 D
UA018 HKG1430 – 1000SEA D10 D

Any idea if the outbound flight actually leave SEA much later and arrive HKG in the morning instead ?

The article I posted mentioned it took 2 days to get to HKG so I assume it should be a redeye. It is a little hard to believe UA would leave the plane in HKG for 17 hours to turnaround, even the former NRT-HKG-NRT only stay in HKG for 12 hours and most of the time less than that.

Btw, I think you are missing 744OB F18C84Y270
