Cheapest way to Hong Kong?
I just received an invitation to go to speak at an academic conference in Hong Kong in July, 2000. They've offered me a round trip air ticket and four nights accomodations.
My son's been interested lately in the Far East and so, this seems interesting. But I checked out the fares and restricted coach is over $1000, unrestricted coach looks to start at upwards of $2000, and we don't even want to talk about business class.
I was thinking of all three of us going, but this is too expensive.
My questions are: I thought it was supposed to be cheap to go to Hong Kong. Am I doing this wrong? I'm AA Gold and have about 110,00 points, my husband has around 60,000 (but he's not Gold) and my son might have around 10,000 or 15,000.
Does that help us get their cheaper in business class or should I just forget it?
