A Dallas Hong Kong flight taking a route more westerly in midlatitude North America, more southerly over Alaska, and more easterly over Siberia and China than usual.

In particular, today's flight reaches the west coast at 30,000' over Vancouver, Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii (formerly known as Queen Charlotte Islands) before crossing the Pacific near the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. Once over Asia, it overflies the frozen Kamchatka Peninsula of Siberia in eastern Russia before continuing on a southwesterly heading past northern Japan and southeastern China down to Hong Kong.
