Best time to fly to Hong Kong?Here are the cheapest months/days to book flights
The best time to find the cheapest flights to Hong Kong tends to be during its low seasons – mi-December to February and June to August. Thanks to colder temperatures, there are fewer tourists and you can expect to save up to 40% on airfares compared to the high season.
Timing is everything
Bear in mind that plane tickets usually don’t get cheaper closer to the departure date. Even these reasonably priced flights in the low season sell out quite far ahead of the date of travel – it pays to book your ticket well in advance. The best time to buy can vary among airlines but the golden time for domestic flights usually falls between 3 weeks and 8 weeks before the departure. For international flights, give yourself even more time: start checking ticket prices at least 2-6 months beforehand.
There is one main rule airlines’ price algorithm use: the fewer seats an airline has left on a flight, the more expensive those available seats will be. Knowing how the flight ticket pricing work, will give you an advantage when booking the next flight. Watch this video to learn about the science behind the airline pricing strategies:

Promo Radar™All airlines, all promotions, one place
Before booking a flight, check if any of these promotions applies to you:
- Watch for a good sale. Most airlines publish their web promotions frequently. To get a great bargain be sure to watch the airline sales over the course of several weeks.
- Avoid public holidays. Prices skyrocket during holidays and popular festivals in Hong Kong – adjust your travel dates to avoid expensive tickets. Cheap flights to Hong Kong are non-existent during popular “red days” such as Chinese New Year (February), Qingming Festival (5 April), Wesak Day (19 May), and Dragon Boat Festival (14 June).
- Fly in the low season. Flying to Hong Kong during the low season (April to May) is one easy way to save money on flights. With significantly fewer visitors, everything (including air tickets) is cheaper.
- See extra destinations for free. Though most people prefer direct routes, few others embrace layovers and take them as the perfect opportunity to visit an extra destination. Some airlines offer free layovers which mean you have an extra city to visit without purchasing any extra ticket. Big plus: in-direct routes are usually much cheaper too!
- Book a seat in a quiet zone. Some airlines (for example AirAsia X) start to offer child-free "quiet zones" for a peaceful flight experience. Children below 10 years old are not allowed in this section. Those seats are usually located in front of the plane (bonus: less noise from the engines) with soft ambient lighting and early meal service.
- Travel cheaper to and from the airport. Hong Kong’s taxis are great and readily available. But you can save a few dollars if you take the Airport Express instead – part of Hong Kong’s fantastic MTR network. You can save even more by taking the bus from the airport (Citybus A21 to Kowloon or A11 to Hong Kong Island).
- Store your baggage at the airport. If you want to explore the airport (check the largest IMAX screen in Hong Kong!) or head into the city during your layover, use Baggage Storage for just HK$12 per hour.
- Take advantage of In-Town Check-in. Sometimes, your hotel check-out time is hours before your flight departure time. In that case, go straight to In-Town Check-In office located at the Kowloon MTR station, drop off your luggage, and check-in for your flight. You've just got a few extra hours to enjoy the city!
- Join Air Traveler Club. A proven way to get great prices on flights to Hong Kong is to become a member of Air Traveler Club. It is free to join, and deals that the members get every week are priced at least 40% below the average airfare for a given route.
