Peak season
There is no bad time to book flight tickets to Hong Kong but be aware the peak season runs from October to December. This is when many people book cheap flights to Hong Kong as the weather is milder with temps hovering around the mid-20s and there is very little rain. The Lunar New Year (late January or early February) is also a busy period, so expect the price of flights to Hong Kong to be more expensive. Book accommodation well in advance for this period. Hong Kong’s subtropical climate is at its most pleasant during the shoulder seasons of autumn (October to November) and spring (March to May) and are a good time to search for cheap flight deals.
Off Season
Summer (May to September) is uncomfortably hot with temps in the 30s, high humidity and heavy rain. Since air conditioning in shops and hotels is turned up to the max, it’s recommended you bring a few extra layers you can easily put on and remove. Winters can be colder than expected, so a coat and warm clothing might be necessary in the rural areas. Typhoon season (May to November), whilst producing cheap flights to Hong Kong, can make the weather unpredictable.
