When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in November around $397 and peak in January near $520, 31% dearer, across the 5 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 10.5 hours outbound, on a 6-night trip — ticketed under China Eastern, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $397 for 4,054 km each way, that works out to about $49 per 1,000 km flown. That is above the $43 per 1,000 km typical of medium-haul fares here. Across the 6 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Colombo, this fare ranks 5th — 1.6× the $242 we hold from Abu Dhabi. The best time to be in Colombo: Dec–Mar.

Good to know
HKG → CMB, answered.
Is $397 a good price for Hong Kong to Colombo?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $415 round-trip and this fare is 4% under it. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Hong Kong to Colombo?
Across 5 months of cached-fare history, Nov comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Colombo are Dec–Mar — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book HKG → Colombo?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 5 months of cached fares, Nov comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Hong Kong to Colombo?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under China Eastern. We hold no nonstop fare on this route right now, which does not mean none flies — search your exact dates to see what does.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 17 October). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
