Thighlander Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I get swamped with the ads, and I would like to visit HK. I have had terrible luck with the website. Never any flights available. I emailed them and was advised to use Chrome, which is the only one I have. Could I be on their "no fly list"? Anyone have any luck with this airline out of CNX? Those AirAsia girls are looking better all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masuk Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 You could fly to Macau and it's just a ferry trip over to HK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thighlander Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 You could fly to Macau and it's just a ferry trip over to HK. Yes, I looked into that, but AirAsia is cheaper to HK....about 2200 thb to HK, more like 3700 to Macau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caramba77 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I used Dragon Air a few weeks ago and this was a nice enough experience for a budget airline. One daily direct flight from CNX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiddy Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Those AirAsia girls are looking better all the time Take an AAX flight, the senior hostess' skirts are both tighter and shorter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PostmanPat Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I m going to Hong Kong in October. Direct flights from CM to HK with Air Asia 5000 baht return including all taxes etc.......you ll struggle to do much better than that with any airline, and like others on here have said, Air Asia website very easily accessible whereas HK Express, despite advertising flights for "10 Dollars" couldnt give me any dates available even though it was four months away when I booked! In fact, for a decent (four star) hotel in HK you tend to pay more per night than the cost of the flight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anto Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Warning coming back allow plenty of time for HK Airport .I was walking at least 45 min from entrance of Airport to Airasia plane.Also their flight leaves early in the day and getting from downtown to Airport by bus or taxi can take at least an hour in the morning rush hour. I very nearly missed my return flight ,and booking a new flight would have cost a small fortune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thakkar Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 For full service airline, Dragon Air is a good choice for direct CNX/HKG. Easy to book, no hassles, no extras. Also for those visiting HK, the HK Airport Link is offering a great deal. For something like HK$250 you get a return ticket airport to city centre plus 3 days unlimited travel on the MTR (city subway system). On returning the ticket on your way out, you get HK$50 back. You can book the ticket on airport rail link website and pick up when you arrive HK. T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess thats the best option, thanks for the heads up ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccw Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Dragon air worked out cheaper than air Asia for us after all tax and surcharges + a couple of bags. With the four of us on dragon plenty spare baggage allowance for the way back. Free food n drinks too. Much better deal Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccw Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 The time of the flight is more convenient too Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmonster Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) Never ever had problems booking online via HK express, but they only fly Tues, Fri and Sundays. Thats probably your problem. They are consistently cheaper than the others I have found. last trip was $174 return all in. 10kg carry on only. Dragon Air is by far the most expensive usually. Air Asia can be cheaper at times if you plan well ahead but watch all the sneaky add ons. HKExp are a lot more up front. HKexpress arrival in HK is almost midnight so its the most inconvenient for public transport. Thats the only downer, otherwise its the best choice for short notice trips with not much luggage. they got sales on up to booking on 24th at the moment $HK80+taxes per leg..bargain.
