Air France is currently selling premium economy tickets to Hong Kong at a cheaper price than usual if you depart from Sofia. For these flights, Air France uses its A350, with the newer premium economy seats. There’s good availability until June. The Light fare only includes 2 carry-ons and a personal item. The fare that includes 2 pieces of checked luggage costs €160 more.
Our calendar displays all the cheapest dates. It can redirect you to KLM’s website. KLM’s website is exactly the same as Air France’s (they are basically the same airline), only that we get a commission from KLM while we don’t get one from Air France.
Air France does not seem to fly to Sofia. Therefore, your trip from Sofia to Air France’s hub in Paris involves two flights, either via Belgrade with Air Serbia or via Bucharest with TAROM. On the way back, you can fly directly from Paris to Sofia with Bulgaria Air.
The long-haul flight is operated with an Air France A350. This is good news, as the A350s have the newer and better premium economy seats.
Air France has two different types of premium economy seats. The seats in their Boeing planes do not recline in the conventional sense but instead slide forward. This can be a bonus, especially on a day-flight since you’re not disturbed by the person sitting in front of you. Tall passengers, however, have difficulties sleeping, as “reclining” leads to very limited leg room. The seats in Airbus A350 planes are better and are closer to the competition. Air France’s premium economy, however, has a major downside that has nothing to do with the seats: The cheapest fare includes 0 checked luggage to most destinations! Furthermore, the service and catering are often disappointing.

Most European passport holders can visit Hong Kong for up to 90 days visa-free.
Editor’s Note: Air France has a few things that I find unappealing, such as their catering, their service, and their luggage policy. However, if you’re a SkyTeam frequent flyer, the luggage thing doesn’t matter as much.

Information & Tips for Hong Kong
Hong Kong is known for its skyline, Victoria Peak, harbour views, and a mix of modern and traditional sights like temples and street markets. The local currency is the Hong Kong dollar (HKD), and credit cards are widely accepted, though cash is still useful in smaller shops and markets. Prices are relatively high compared to much of Asia, especially for accommodation and dining. The weather is hot and humid in summer, with a cooler, more pleasant season from October to March. Typhoons can occur between June and October.
