If you are budget-conscious, you can consider flying from Hong Kong to the following Asian cities:
- Taiwan
- Singapore
- Thailand
- Malaysia
Within HK$2,000 (US$260), you will be able to get a return ticket to these countries from Hong Kong.
Flight to Malaysia via Malaysia Airline normally goes beyond the price of HK$2,000, while Air Asia’s direct flight from Hong Kong to the country is able to offer lower price. The low-cost airline just launched a new route from Hong Kong to Penang this month (August 2009), in addition to the route between Hong Kong and KL. You can have a return ticket to Penang for about US$100. The minus point is that the departure time of the return flight to Hong Kong is 6am.
