Departure Time?
Anyone have an idea what the departure time will be for LAX-HKG?

Assuming a approximate 14 hour flight, and a 3 hour turn (probably too short) I get around 11am LAX departure. That would put it leaving at the same time as the late morning CX885 departure.

LAX-HKG: departs LAX at midnight and arrives HKG around 6am. This 77W would then fly HKG-DFW.
HKG-LAX: departs HKG around 9pm (using the 77W that arrives from DFW) and arrives LAX around 7:15pm). Connections at LAX would be limited to the west coast; passengers traveling to the central and eastern time zones would be better off taking the HKG-DFW flight.

What about eastbound red-eyes? I'm thinking places like PHL, WAS, CLT, TPA, ORD, NYC, MCO, MIA, ATL, maybe even BOS. Those might be some torturous red-eyes, but they can add feed for the flight. Depending on timing, GRU could also work.

Well, I suppose coach passengers might be relatively indifferent about connecting in LAX to a domestic redeye (vs. going via DFW or ORD/JFK/BOS on CX), but I can't imagine any premium pax would want to do that! (Though to be fair, 8-10 years ago, I did HKG-LAX-JFK on CX/AA in J a couple of times (double red-eye), as there was no other late-night option from HKG, and it was the most time-efficient way back to NYC, though at least there was a semi-decent recliner on the domestic leg.)

Hi -
If the flight arrived at 700PM +/-, there are a lot of west coast connections on AS.
