Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. However, if you’re using the American Express Platinum Card, you’ll need to book directly with the airline or through Amex Travel portal to get 5x MR points. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz or Expedia’s courtesy cancellation if you’re unable to get the time away from work or family.
Hong Kong is one of my favorite cities in the world, and many others at TPG share this feeling. From incredible food markets to glorious views at Victoria Peak, this destination has something for all travelers — it’s even a destination that’s great for teenagers. And now that the Hong Kong airport has a Centurion Lounge, it’s even more enjoyable to begin your return trip from there.
Right now we’re seeing flights to Hong Kong (HKG) from both the East and West coasts starting as low as $456 round-trip. To book, head to Google Flights and plug in your desired departure city. Then after finding the dates that work best for you, book with the airline directly or with an OTA such as Expedia or Priceline. If you want to make sure that your ticket includes a carry-on bag, you’ll want to use Google Flights’ newest feature that allows you to filter out no-carry-on fares.
