Finally, One stop flight to Chennai, India from SFO...

Three cheers to Cathay pacific for introducing a direct flight from Hong Kong to Chennai starting June 2nd 2008. Today, there is no way to get to Chennai, India from San Francisco in less than 2 stopovers. With the introduction of this direct flight from Hong Kong to Chennai, Cathay Pacific has finally won the hearts of thousands of Chennai going folks like me. Even though I have to wait at Hong Kong for about 4 hours to catch my connecting flight to Chennai, this is a boon to travelers like me who had to go through multiple airports before reaching our final destination. Initially, the Hong Kong-Chennai flight runs only 4 days a week but I am sure this will be made a daily flight given the traffic to this buzzing Indian metropolis.
