Flights to Hong Kong from A to Z

Flights to Hong Kong are expensive, but still, they are cheaper than flights to Australia or America. And sometimes, if you start looking for tickets in advance, they will cost about the same amount as tickets to Europe, bought at the last moment.

Airlines

You can fly to Hong Kong without change and with a change. Of course, flying a direct flight is pleasant and comfortable, but usually it is more expensive than connecting flights.

Direct flights make:

Aeroflot - airplanes from Moscow fly every day, the duration of the flight is about 10 hours.
Transaero - airplanes from Moscow fly three times a week (Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday), the duration of the flight is about 10 hours.
(The planes of both airlines arrive in Hong Kong in the morning, so that you will have enough time to comfortably get to the university or to the place of residence).

S7 Airlines - aircraft fly from Vladivostok, Irkutsk, Novosibirsk, Khabarovsk.

Flights with transfers make:

Air Astana (via Astana),

Air China (via Beijing) - usually offers cheap tickets,

Air France (via Paris),

British Airways (via London),

Emirates (via Dubai),

Etihad Airways (via Abu Dhabi),

Finn Air (via Helsinki),

Qatar Airways (via Doha),

Lufthansa (via Munich),

Singapore Air (via Singapore) - usually offers cheap tickets,

Vietnam Airlines (via Hanoi) - the biggest plus of Vietnam Airlines is that if the transfer suddenly drags on, the company will organize a free tour of Hanoi for its passengers.
The average cost of air tickets from Moscow to Hong Kong is approximately 30,000 rubles. The cheapest direct flight tickets (bought with stock or in low season) will cost you up to 25,000 rubles.

Opportunities to save

There are usually few opportunities to save on long-haul flights, but they exist. First, you need to look for promotions and special offers. Most often they are in the "low season". In the case of Hong Kong, this is from late January to late March. However, prices are usually held back during the rest of the year. And only April and October are considered the "high season".
During these two months, Hong Kong hosts major international exhibitions. As a result, ticket prices are rising.
You can save in another way. If you suddenly catch a special offer for tickets to Beijing, feel free to buy them. You will not have problems with transfers, since local Dragon Air airlines fly from Beijing to Hong Kong every hour. This option is good for those who fly not from Moscow, but from other cities and regions, from where there may be no direct flights to Hong Kong.
Important! Tickets purchased with a stock are often irrevocable and lack the “move date” option, so you should buy them if you are sure when you are flying. And finally, study the conditions associated with luggage. Going to school, students carry quite a lot of things with them, see what there are restrictions on the weight of luggage and the number of luggage.
By the way, if Aeroflot and Transaero allow one passenger of economy class to take baggage weighing no more than 23 kg (+ hand luggage weighing no more than 5 kg), then some airlines allow taking 2 suitcases of 23 kg per passenger. If you carry a lot of things with you, learn the rules!
In addition, when booking and paying for tickets, you should be aware that even if you do not know the dates of the return flight, you can order a return ticket with an open date. This is slightly more expensive than a round-trip ticket paid at one time.
But then it’s cheaper than on different days to buy one-way tickets, for example, Moscow-Hong Kong, and a year later Hong Kong-Moscow. The only “but”, such tickets with an open date in this direction are active for no more than a year!
In addition, major airlines British Arways, Lufthansa, Air France, Aeroflot and others make discounts on the international ISIC student card. These issues are addressed by SATA (Student Avia Travel Association), an organization that receives preferential rates from major airlines for youth and students.
NB! It is best to buy air tickets directly from the airline (on the website or in the office). Any intermediary will charge you interest.

At customs

When crossing the border, valuable items, valuables, video and photo equipment are subject to mandatory declaration. The declaration will need to be presented upon departure from Hong Kong! So, try not to lose her.
Hong Kong Customs Rules allow you to import foreign currency. But it must be declared. Personal items are allowed to be imported in quantities acceptable for personal use.
Because you may find it useful, some types of antibiotics and medications are not allowed in Hong Kong. Exceptions are possible, but for this you need to get the necessary permissions in advance.

From airport

From Cheklapkok Airport to Hong Kong city center, take the Airport Express train. If you assemble a group, save money, because at the box office groups get discounts.
