YVR Deals: Cheap flights from Vancouver to Hong Kong | $649 roundtrip including taxes | cheapest ever?

Cheap flights from Calgary to Hong Kong

I just saw this incredible flight deal posted over at our friends Chris Myden’s site YVR Deals.

Delta may have just set a new record for the cheapest flights between Vancouver and Hong Kong that I’ve ever seen. I say ‘may’, because there might have been a time when a mistake fare to Beijing or Shanghai caused Hong Kong to drop significantly, and I just can’t recall.

search of the YVR Deals archives doesn’t turn up anything cheaper spotted to Hong Kong from previous years. While there have been quite a few crazy deals to Beijing and Shanghai over the past little while (thanks to increased competition from Asian airlines and the occasional mistake fare), Hong Kong never seems as willing to drop.

For comparison, here are the current cheapest roundtrip flight prices from Vancouver to Hong Kong, by airline, in the month of September….

As you can see, Delta is undercutting the next closest competing airline (Air China) by nearly 30% ! A ridiculous gap in the highly competitive world of airfares, especially from Vancouver to Asia.

How to find and book these flights to Hong Kong

These cheap flights are currently showing in Delta’s system for the months of September, October, November, and very early December. Incidentally, October and November are often cited as the two best months of the year to visit Hong Kong when the temperatures are at their most comfortable (19C-28C) and plenty of sunshine.

The available date combinations are pretty limited though. Wednesday to Wednesday flights look to be the best bet. They have 1 stop each way, in Seattle.

Vancouver does have non-stop flights to Hong Kong, which take 12 hours of travel time each way, vs the 16 hours (including the stop) it would take with these Delta flights. To save nearly 50% off the cheapest non-stop flights (~$1200 with Air Canada) does seem worth it.

Here are some example searches on Kayak to get you started. When you get to Kayak, click on the orange ‘Select’ button which will take you to Delta.com where the flight can be booked. When you get to Delta’s site, the verified price will show up as $649 CAD.

August 27 – September 08 (Aug 18 – Sep 08 works as well)
September 03-17
September 10-24
October 01-15
October 15-29
November 05-19
November 12-26
November 19 – December 03

It can be worth experimenting with Wednesday to Saturday dates on Kayak as well. Certain Wednesday to Saturday date combos are showing up for slightly more.

This is not an advertised sale, so it’s hard to say how long it will stick around. Typically, with unadvertised price drops on Delta, I find they often disappear very quickly (under 24 hours). But sometimes they do stay around for a few days.

 

 

These flights won’t last long so I suggest you take advantage of the seat sale before it’s too late.

REMINDER: Amex AeroplanPlus Gold Card – FREE 30,000 Aeroplan Miles = 2 Free Short-Haul Flights!

FREE 30000 Aeroplan Miles

Reminder Update I originally posted about this amazing freebie two months ago. It was one of my all-time most popular posts. Here’s a friendly reminder if you missed it or haven’t signed-up yet. A ton of people have taken advantage of this offer so don’t miss out!

I’m been blogging deals for a long time and this is the best freebie and travel offer that I’ve ever seen! This is the first travel rewards card that enticed me to sign-up and share with my friends and family.

Have you ever wanted to take your kids to Disneyland, see the light and spectacles of Las Vegas, or visit family somewhere across the country? Wouldn’t it be great if this could be done for free? With travel hacking, this is entirely possible!

Travel hacking is a method to gather points from loyalty programs, or other areas, and travel for free or at a heavily discounted price. Normally, since these points are so rewarding, they take years to accumulate, and because of this, people think its worthless and time consuming, and so never try, but what if there’s an easier way? Here’s how to get 2 free short-haul flights or a free flight to anywhere in North America with Air Canada’s Aeroplan loyalty program.

For a limited time, American Express is having a friends and family promotion offering everyone an incredible 30,000 FREE Aeroplan bonus points when you sign-up for the American Express AeroplanPlus Gold Card!  You only need 25,000 points for a free round-trip flight to anywhere in North America, or 30,000 points for 2 round-trip short haul flights! American Express is also waiving the annual fee for the first year ($120 value) which means there’s zero cost to you making this an unbelievable freebie!

You might think that it’s just another credit card offer, and normally, I would agree with you, but with this deal, in just the last 2 months alone, I’ve been able to earn over a million points, enough for multiple around-the-world-trips for my entire family!

I took some convincing before I took this offer, and I’m incredibly glad that I did. Here’s why this deal is awesome:

  • With 30,000 FREE Aeroplan bonus points, you can get a round-trip flight to anywhere in North America, or 2 round-trip short hauls flights for free!  Or save up more points and travel to other destinations for free!  See where else you can fly with Flight Reward Chart.
  • The first year is absolutely free, so if you decide the card is not for you, just cancel it and you get to keep the 30,000 free Aeroplan points!
  • Amex is a charge card, not a credit card, which means that it doesn’t hit your credit score as hard as a credit card would.  A charge card only does a soft credit pull. The difference between the two is that you must pay off your balance every month, or else you’ll be charged a higher interest rate.  If you always pay off your card, then it doesn’t even matter!  Also, finally a card that you can use at Costco!
  • The very best part of this deal, and the reason I’ve earned over a million points in the last 2 months is that Amex has a referral program.  If you refer someone to sign up for this card under you, you get 10,000 bonus points!  There is no limit on what you can earn! You’ll get your own referral link after you sign-up and activate the card. People will want to use your referral link because they’ll get 30K points with your link vs only 20K points if they sign-up directly through Amex.

If you consider all the points, this is a deal you can’t ignore! Worst case, you take the 30,000 free points, and cancel the card before the fee is up, and best case, you refer plenty of friends and family and manage to rack up your very own round-the-world-trip! My original plan was just to sign-up, get the 30,000 points, and then refer my wife for another 40,000 points, but a great deal sells itself and it’s been astonishingly easy to get referrals. This exclusive offer is valid for Canadians only.
