Price and when to book
The cheapest flight we found costs €632 return. Prices range between €632 and €649 depending on dates. For this intercontinental route, book 6–8 weeks in advance; too early or too close to departure pushes fares up. Check fares mid-morning on Tuesdays to Thursdays, when airlines refresh prices.
Airline and stops
China Eastern Airlines operates this route with one stop. Not a direct flight, but the connection keeps the price competitive. You'll travel with one of Asia's major carriers, known for solid service on long-haul routes. Confirm your itinerary to see where you stop and your connection time.
Best time to visit
Hong Kong is pleasant October to March, with mild temperatures and low humidity. Avoid May to September due to extreme heat and typhoon season. Travelling in shoulder season (October–November or February–March) usually balances weather and availability well. Check the price calendar for the dates you're considering.
What to do when you arrive
Hong Kong is a city of contrasts: skyscrapers next to ancient temples. Take the Peak Tram for the most iconic views, explore Victoria Harbour's markets, visit the fishing villages on nearby islands, or relax on Lamma's beaches. The MTR is fast and cheap; most signs are in English and Chinese. Plan for 4–5 days or longer.
