Travel to Hong Kong

Flying to Hong Kong

Airlines offering direct flights to Hong Kong from the UK include British Airways, Cathay Pacific and Virgin Atlantic. Cathay Pacific operates direct flights from the USA. You can bag cheap flights to Hong Kong if you book early, but airfares tend to rocket and seats are tricky to find in the fortnight before Christmas and Chinese New Year. The same applies to the end of March when the Rugby Sevens are held in Hong Kong.

Flight times

From London - 12 hours; New York - 16 hours; Los Angeles - 15 hours 30 minutes; Toronto - 15 hours 45 minutes; Sydney - 9 hours 15 minutes.
