In addition to Toronto1970's answer, fewer more desirable options are available now at the lowest fare (G fare bucket). For PVG to SFO, 12:30 am non-stop flight has fewer availability. Search result for lowest fare often gives you PVG-LAX then LAX-SFO instead.

You would have to find a way from China to HKG and then HKG to China.

Have a couple booked. Anyone else going these dates?

August 3-7 ORD-HGH/PVG-ORD
September 14-18 SFO-HGH/PVG-SFO
November 3-7 BOS-HGH-ORD

Any weekend-ish combinations flying out-of into EWR and surrounding airports in 2017? I tried in vain. Looking to leave Friday, come back Monday.

You will have to arrive at HGH and depart from PVG (12:30am, UA890). One night of hotel stay is required, either at HKG or HGH. Just use some of the google flight links on this thread. You may use YUL, YOW, YYZ or YQB as your final destination. Good luck.

In for a vacation, already have the unlimited admission visa. I was able to ticket a return WUH-NRT-SEA-YVR with an ORD departure for $302.

Greetings All,

As star alliance gold, can I use any lounge access next morning when I fly out HKG to HGH with Dragon Air? Your input and time is greatly appreciated!

No.

If you have *G through UA, and you flew in on a UA flight, I think you will have access to the UA Lounge. It may be a hike to the Cathay Dragon gates though. (Side note: should we set up a betting pool on how long United IT is going to take to change DragonAir to Cathay Dragon on itineraries).

(Edit: oops - I just realized you said "next morning". You can officially only use the UA lounge if you flew in on United that day. So "no" is indeed the correct answer)

Thank you very much for your valuable feedback!

Anyone know how far the Cathay Dragon gates are from the CX lounges, especially interested in the amazing Pier or Wing lounges? TIA

Also, I posted my dates a few posts above. I can guest 1 person into the Pier/Wing lounge for the Cathay Dragon flight if anyone is interested.

Question: Can I request picking up my check-in luggage in Hong Kong Airport?
My flight is SFO-HKG/HKG-HGH with one hour transfer in Hong Kong:(

Yes u can (if the check-in agent is willing to help) but you are forfeiting the HKG-HGH and the return flights...

Can you change your HKG-HGH segment to the following day? When you check in at SFO, ask CSA if you can short check your bag to HKG since you are over night in HKG.

The TransPacifics to Hong Kong with immediate connections of this deal are too exhausting for me.

I’ve tried many combinations on Matrix but it seems that Hong Kong is the only way “in” where stopovers are not permitted and connections are too short.

I'm looking for a “leg” from the US West Coast to Asia where I could stop (> 12h.) and sleep before going on.

Is there ANY another way “in” than Hong Kong?

My dates/routing are flexible. I'm near YUL, planning to start at BTV.

Any idea, anyone? Thanks in advance.
