Fare seasonality

When this route gets cheap.

Fares bottom out in November around $502 and peak in October near $1,012, 102% dearer, across the 5 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 17.5 hours outbound, on a 7-night trip — ticketed under Philippine Airlines, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $502 for 11,096 km each way, that works out to about $23 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $42 per 1,000 km that ultra-long-haul fares on this board typically run. Across the 25 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Hong Kong, this fare ranks 5th — 18% above the $426 from Brussels. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 54 routes of similar length we watch out of San Francisco, where the middle fare is $840. The best time to be in Hong Kong: Oct–Dec.

Good to know

SF → HKG, answered.

Is $502 a good price for San Francisco to Hong Kong?

Yes — the seasonal median for this route is around $895 round-trip. At $502 you're 44% below that, which we rate rare for this route.

What is the cheapest month to fly from San Francisco to Hong Kong?

Across 5 months of cached-fare history, Nov 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 SF → 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We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 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 San Francisco to Hong Kong?

The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Philippine Airlines. 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.
