SkyTeam members Air France and KLM are now selling flights from Brussels and Paris to Hong Kong starting at €536. A checked bag adds €100 to the price. Unfortunately, itineraries from Paris require a night in Amsterdam on the way back.
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to KLM with your selected flight dates. For the flights from Brussels, we only included itineraries with no overnight layovers.
You would first fly KLM’s Embraers (2-2 configuration) or Air France’s Airbus A320 family aircraft (3-3) to Amsterdam. Then you would board one of KLM’s Boeing 777s, which have a 3-4-3 configuration.
Search & Book
According to the fare rules, this fare will expire on October 16, 2023. There is a minimum stay of 3 nights or a Saturday night and a maximum stay of 12 months.
You can use our calendar above that will show you availabilities. Once you select your dates, it will forward you to KLM’s website with your preselected flight dates. In this case, we don’t recommend booking through online travel agencies (OTAs), as they barely offer any savings. You can also search more specifically on Google Flights (instructions) for example by setting filters. You can then use our Go2 browser extension to book your flights.
Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
Mileage
KLM books you into booking class R on the long flights and booking class L on the short ones. This is what these trips would earn you:
