CX has flights leaving HKG to SFO/LAX/YVR between 00:15 and 01:00. You could celebrate New Years in HKG and arrive in any of the above for 20:00-21:00 the same day.




conversely, flying US-HKG is a great way to skip your birthday! ....hey if i arrive a day after my birthday, i definitely didnt turn 40!
