Depending on where someone lives, most Americans will find that they need to first fly to one the country’s major cities–New York, Los Angeles and Chicago–to get a flight to Hong Kong. Flights from each of those cities will vary namely since they will travel in different directions. Flying from New York to Hong Kong will take around 16 hours. Meanwhile, getting to Hong Kong from Los Angeles is about 14 hours and 30 minutes. Chicago is the middle of the pack ranging from 15 to 15 and a half hours of flight time.
Cost
The cost of flying to Hong Kong isn’t cheap. However, because the city is such a major hub for airlines and non-stop flights from America are available, tickets aren’t outrageous either. On average, the cost of a round trip ticket in coach for a flight to Hong Kong will be $1,200.
When to Book a Flight
