UA/ANA/KAL IAH-HKG $628-$800; late Aug
Hey fellow travelers! This is my first post so I hope I am doing well and hopefully this hasn't been pointed out before and I am doing this correctly. I found fares from Houston to Hong Kong in the latter part of August for about $628 - $800. I'm not sure if that is a good fare but to someone like myself it seems to be.

(IGNORE) UPDATE: It now requires departing in September with only about 5 days eligible for departure, ending in November. Its almost all on United, any other airline is more expensive.
UPDATE #2: As the world seems to enjoy making me look like a fool, the prices are back down again from August 15th and onward. Sorry for any confusion.

I've done this twice (maybe 3 times? I forget), routed through EWR on the way out and turned right around to come back through GUM->HNL->IAH.
This has been around a while but people haven't gotten as excited about it as I have. I think it's amazing, I did W fare on the way out so I could use a GPU and still paid less than $1000 for ~19,000 PQMs.
