Cheap flights from Sapporo to Hong Kong

Hong Kong's winter days are shorter but milder than Sapporo's snowy season, while summer there is hot and humid, so pack for the climate at each end of the trip. December sits lowest in the monthly prices, yet flights are priced in every month, so test school holidays, Christmas and the destination's summer before settling on dates, and compare weekday with weekend departures.

Connections, where offered, add a transfer and possibly an overnight, so check the connection airport and total journey time before choosing a fare. Direct flights also exist on this route, and the named carriers are Homer Air, T'way Air, Jet Star Japan, Peach, Spring Airlines Japan, Hong Kong Airlines, Skymark Airlines, All Nippon Airways, Hokkaido International and Jeju Air. Their fare styles differ, so compare baggage, seat selection and change rules on the booking screen rather than assuming the lowest fare is the better buy.

Hong Kong International is a large airport on Lantau, so allow time for walking, security and queues before your onward transfer into the central districts. Trains, buses and taxis link it with the city, and services can thin late at night, so check the last departure before you land. Watch the terminal, the baggage belt and any transfer desk if you are connecting onward.
