This pattern isn't the norm, however. Other carriers such as Air China, China Eastern and China Southern do fly through Russian airspace at times. Cathay Pacific also flies over Russian airspace to/from the US/Canada, saving precious time in air. Cathay from JFK back to Hong Kong, for example, takes three hours less—16h 25m, while China Southern to Guangzhou is 16h 20m.
