Cached-fare history: across 4 months, Feb is the cheapest for NYC → HKG. Best time to be there: Oct–Dec.
Fares bottom out in February around $527 and peak in November near $1,028 — a $501 spread across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 20 hours outbound, on a 8-night trip — ticketed under Korean Air, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $527 for 12,955 km each way, that works out to about $20 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $40 that ultra-long-haul fares on this board typically run. Across the 15 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Hong Kong, this fare ranks 2nd — 17% above the $452 from San Francisco. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 30 routes of similar length we watch out of New York, where the middle fare is $784.

What is the cheapest month to fly from New York to Hong Kong?
Across 4 months of cached-fare history, Feb 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 NYC → 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We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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, Feb comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from New York to Hong Kong?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Korean Air. 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.
