Anyway HKG-HAN is a very short flight (flight time less than 2h0, so Y is quite bearable.

CNY and Tet always fall on the same dates (2026 17 February), so it is an extremely busy travel season in Asia.
I don’t disagree with you - I’m just hoping and suspecting they will release some reward seats on the flight I want. The sale was going to end before they released onward connections to HAN for some reason.

Unfortunately there are few very good options to get to HAN from SYD as there are few direct options - and ones I would consider paying J for - and the price was good via HKG.

Re the booking in advance - we found Tet did book out early this year - so I did want to book early.

Finally, I do appreciate everyone that has provided advice. It has been really informative and I thank you for sharing your knowledge.
