Actually David's return to North America on 12/30. Anyways, ex HKG to North America is also wide open still on 12/30 to all destinations.
But if you are looking for ultra-cheap ticket, act early... Also, low season ends on Dec. 4th. After Dec. 5th, there is a noticable increase in fare. So, book early before all the low seasons disappear.
