I tried Cathay and they weren’t able to help with the Visit Asia pass as I would need a minimum of 2 OW sectors. They told me that the HKT-HKG sector is on Dragon Air, which has only recently joined OW and as such, isn’t part of the Visit Asia scheme.

Interestingly, the OW site does mention that HKG-BKK and HKT-HKG. Could anyone recommend a Travel Agent who may be able to help with this kind of booking?

I tried Amex Platinum travel services and they quoted £559 GBP which included the HKG-BKK in Club on CX. Trailfinders quoted a very similar fare.

The BKK-HKT sector is on PG – Are they good/bad?

Point taken about the time of year, I know it’s peak season, so I guess I should just get on and make the booking.

I have to stick with my LHT-HKG routing as I’ve booked in F, using miles.

Thanks again & any more suggestions gratefully received. I’ll probably book in the next 24 hours.

Regards

Chris
Have you thought of HKG-BKK-HKT-BKK-HKG on 2 rtn tickets? Might make fares more reasonable...
