SO - can anyone suggest a good value TP run which would leave me able to have an OJ or stopover in HKG starting 1 June, returning I guess sometime June or July from pretty much anywhere in Asia including HKG (so OJ's would be fine)
I'd also consider something like a TP run to other Asian cities and a (presumably MH or CX) mileage run to HKG as long as I end up in HKG on 1 Jun, I earn lots of TPS and I have a flight home at the end.
Since the sole purpose of this run is TPs I'll pretty much try anything, I originate in DUB but am reasonably happy to position as required.
any suggestions ? (apart from medication and or psychiatrist!!)
There are some Muscat to HKG (or PVG) 1 stop flights on Sri Lankan for about a grand, but the dates don't quite line up. I guess an alternative would be positioning to somewhere like KUL and then using the TPE fare and Cathay Pacific to HKG. Plenty of cheap TPs available in Malaysia too.
