SWISS currently has a nice offer for premium economy flights to Hong Kong up its sleeve. With departure from London, you can reach the Asian metropolis for only €660.
There is availability for travel in February and March 2023. The flights are via Zurich. It is also possible to add a stopover in Zurich. With a stopover on the way there, the total price drops significantly to only €540.
In principle, the tickets can be rebooked, but this costs £180 (~€210) plus any price difference.
To enter Hong Kong, people over the age of 12 must be fully vaccinated and present a negative Covid test no older than 24 hours.
You can also use the following form to search for your flights. Enter your preferred dates and let yourself be forwarded directly to Lufthansa or Swiss for booking. Note that the fare is only available in February and March 2023:
With a stopover it looks like this:
The price goes down because the British air passenger tax can be significantly reduced if you stay in Zurich for at least 24 hours.
The first flight will be from London to Zurich in aircraft from the Airbus A320 family (in economy class). The long-haul flight is then carried out in a Boeing 777 plane (in premium economy). The flight takes around 12 hours.
