Cached-fare history: across 4 months, Oct is the cheapest for LA → HKG. Best time to be there: Oct–Dec.
Fares bottom out in October around $687 and peak in December near $1,083 — a $396 spread across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 21.5 hours outbound, on a 14-night trip — ticketed under Sichuan Airlines, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $687 for 11,649 km each way, that works out to about $29 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $40 typical of ultra-long-haul fares here. Across the 25 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Hong Kong, this fare ranks 15th — 57% above the $437 from London. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 58 routes of similar length we watch out of Los Angeles, where the middle fare is $712.

LA → HKG, answered.
Is $687 a good price for Los Angeles to Hong Kong?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $835 round-trip and this fare is 18% under it, about $148. 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 Los Angeles to Hong Kong?
Across 4 months of cached-fare history, Oct comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Hong Kong are Oct–Dec — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book LA → Hong Kong?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 4 months of cached fares, Oct comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Los Angeles to Hong Kong?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Sichuan Airlines. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). 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.
