UA: TYR-HKG, $599 a/i
Another vicious attack by UA on one of AA's biggest and most-profitable hubs!

Enjoy a three-hour turn in HKG, and return home via GUM and HNL.

Sample dates: 03MAY - 04MAY. On united.com. (K)

(Okay, I realize this fare won't appeal to many, but I've never posted an international fare originating in TYR - now I can cross it off my bucket list!)

Great fare, but since when is TYR one of AA's hubs, let alone one of their biggest hubs?

I had to Google to find out where TYR even was, don't think it's ever been a hub for any airline.

Thx for posting, OP!
Got it priced out at $596:
5/5: TYR-IAH-SFO-HKG
5/6: HKK-GUM-HNL-IAH-TYR
Total 18712 miles (PQMs)

Base fare is $462. Must be a YQ "discount".
Book it while you can!

That exactly what people in TYR do to find out what HKG is. Ofcourse 90 %+ of them have no passports anyway. TYR is indeed a hub. A hub for Dairy Queen.

Self labeled as Rose Capital of the World.

Hong Kong, OTOH, perhaps my favorite city in the world

If it weren't for Paris and San Francisco, it would be mine, too.

My "seriously" wasn't for the OP, but for those who didn't pick up on his joke! But yes, great find OP.
