That is, if there are no typhoon warnings in HKG. TPE is probably only half that, but that's still at least 12-15 hrs extra. I'ld say it's only worth it if you are on a mileage run, or if you have some (romantic??) off-shore business to care off in Hong Kong .

I am well aware of the extra travel time. In fact that's what I did in July (LAX-NRT-HKG-KIX/ITM-HND-HKG-NRT-LAX) but on JAL. I could have flown to Osaka directly from Tokyo and saved 20 hours but I just enjoy flying (on JAL) too much and was trying to help them out a bit I wasn't even thinking of doing a MR back then. And I do have family in HK so that makes a difference too
