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.

If weather is an important factor for your trip to Hong Kong, use this chart to help with planning. For those seeking warmer temperatures, July is the ideal time of year to visit, when temperatures reach an average of 29.0 C. Travellers hoping to avoid the cold should look outside of January, when temperatures are typically at their lowest (around 16.0 C).
The city’s traditional Chinese culture is at its most vibrant during the various colourful festivals that take place throughout the year and these are a good reason to book cheap flights to Hong Kong. The Lunar New Year features an impressive fireworks display over the harbour, while the religious festival Tin Hau (May/June) honours various deities. The Lantern Festival is held in September/October, the Dragon Boat Carnival in June/July and the Bun festival on Cheung Chau island in May. Book flight tickets well in advance if you are visiting for these festivals.

The business class cabin is really nice - EXCEPT the two interior seats have no divider between them - which makes for a bad experience -especially when the person next to you coughs excessively with no protection. Basically, the person is looking at you and coughing at you the WHOLE FLIGHT. Most major airlines have a sliding divider you can close for privacy and safety reasons. The window seats do not have this problem - so if you book business class and are traveling solo - make sure to get a window seat - I didn't and regretted it.
