Can anyone here explain is there any benefit to booking round trip anymore?
You have to pay YR (surcharge) for itinerary not originated from HK.
It's will be advantageous for OP if he is planning to fly to HK from an origin which CX imposes YR. He can save the inbound leg YR if ticketed as two O/W.
For HKers which POO is HK, the extra YR will be imposed for the inbound leg which redeeming as two O/W.
