A few people looking at this on the BA forum and the consensus is that the LHR > CTU direct flight is being binned (time scale on when that actually occurs is unknown - but looks to be from early next year), hence only LHR>HKG>CTU options are available!

*Now confirmed!
Last flight from LHR is 12th Jan and last from CTU is 13th Jan 2017.

You may want to rebook your return, pretty soon. BA just announced the LHR-CTU route will be discontinued by next Jan. And BTW, you won't be able to skip HKG-CTU unless you don't want to travel the return.

With thanks to dsf and Calchas on the BA board – OP http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/27037994-post3049.html
Some excellent fares out of Italy (appears to work from all destinations BA serve) to CTU and HKG as per the title. As low as £984 to CTU on the Dreamliner.
