At about 6,490 miles from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), a nonstop runs roughly 13h30, give or take with the winds.

Nonstops make up only about 5% of the award options in the data; the rest connect.
On a long-haul trip like Seattle–Hong Kong, pick the cabin before the program. Here the lowest economy price is also the quickest trip: a Cathay Pacific nonstop booked through the airline's own program. Taxes and fees on that seat run about $182, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. Premium economy runs about triple the economy price and business about 4 times. Flexible bank points can reach Cathay Pacific Asia Miles; confirm the space first, since transfers can't be undone.
Cathay Pacific Asia Miles wins economy at 27,000 points, premium economy at 80,000, and business class at 120,000. American AAdvantage is the only other program pricing the route. Cathay Pacific Asia Miles' lead holds until a transfer bonus elsewhere shifts the math; recheck before moving points.
Cathay Pacific alone shows nonstop award space on Seattle–Hong Kong in the data. It's a oneworld carrier, so partner programs across the alliance can price it, not just Cathay Pacific Asia Miles. For connecting options, the better-priced awards in the data connect in Chicago, Helsinki, and Los Angeles. Here the cheapest award in each cabin books through the airline's own program, with no partner arbitrage showing up at last check.
Neither Seattle nor Hong Kong shows a same-metro alternate airport in the data, so the live price table above is the one to watch. If the destination is open, Seattle to Amsterdam prices from 15,000 points at last check. For a shorter trip from Seattle, Anchorage and Atlanta are tracked too.
