Im finding the BKK/HKG tickets for the days around the 20th to 24th of August are pricey.

There are some discount carriers, but then there's the baggage and other "stuff".

We were hoping to pay $250 OW, but CX and "other" have them at $500.

Any suggestions? We'll be in BKK and there might be a discount ticket there, but we'd rather have the tickets locked in before the trip.

Seems expensive $500 for a OW BKK/HKG.

Thanks for your help.
