Now flying nonstop from Hong Kong to London on CX or BA or VS sounds like a good deal. For those who want to fly through Middle East on a cheaper fare, we would all be happy taking QR or TK.

Is it kicking in on different dates around the world ?
Maybe it's just me, but I priced a HKG-LHR-HKG out on 01 Jun and return on 8 Jun and here is what I got.

1. EK - HKG$8279 (taxes $1579), all flights on the A380, Saver Fare, upgradeable
2. CX - HKG$9893 (taxes $3903), direct on 744, no Asia Miles, not upgradeable
3. BA - HKG$10,893 (taxes $3903), direct on 744/777, not sure re Avios or upgradeability
