(I'm a US citizen, heading home.)

Flew out of Kunming KMG the afternoon Friday 31 January on Cathay Dragon KA761 in business class on a flight that was supposed to connect in Hong Kong HKG with Cathay Pacific CX7680 the following day, Saturday 1 February, final destination DFW (Dallas, Texas.) The connecting flight to Dallas was postponed and then ultimately cancelled, with the airline giving me a seat on AA126 the afternoon of Monday 3 Feb from HKG to DFW. That was postponed a couple of times and then ultimately cancelled as well.

I am still in Hong Kong. Have booked a seat on Japan Airline codeshare flight with American, #4818 to NRT (Tokyo) on Tuesday 4 February. Will fly out of Tokyo on AA8408 to LAX (Los Angeles) the same afternoon if all goes according to plan. Will spend the night there and proceed to DFW the next day.

This has been quite a hassle. Lots of reservations and changes. Lots of uncertainty and fast footwork required, both with the airlines and the hotels. Had to waste way too much time online.

All this is to suggest that if you have any choice in the matter, best not to fly through China just now. The logistics are challenging.
