Why book

Avoids the warning area on this NRT–DEL routing via Hong Kong. The NRT–HKG leg tracks southwest over the East China Sea — avoids the warning area. The HKG–DEL leg routes northwest over the South China Sea and Myanmar, avoiding Central Asian airspace. Cathay Pacific provides reliable NRT–HKG–DEL connections. Preferred when Central Asian advisories are elevated. Adds ~1.3h versus the Central Asia direct.

Worth knowing

The whole Tokyo to Hong Kong to Delhi route is clean. Make sure the Cathay Pacific schedule allows enough connection time at Hong Kong before the Delhi flight.
