Hong Kong: €1,544 Finnair Business Class from Brussels, Oslo, Frankfurt, & Budapest (€1,794 with Luggage & Lounge Access)

Oneworld member Finnair is currently selling business class tickets to Hong Kong starting at €1,544. While that price is very cheap for lie-flat trips to “Asia’s World City”, this is a Business Light fare that includes nothing other than the seat and a carry-on. The full business class experience, including 2x 32kg of luggage, lounge access, fast lane, and 1 hour of internet access, costs €150 more for the entire trip.

Oneworld Sapphire status holders, however, can really consider booking the light fare, as they’ll still get lounge access and 23 kg of checked luggage.

You can depart from the following cities:

• Brussels: €1,544
• Oslo: NOK 18,747 (~€1,602)
• Frankfurt: €1,657
• Budapest: HUF 651,400 (~€1,665)

All flights include a layover in Helsinki of about 2 hours. On the feeder flights from Europe to Helsinki, Airbus A320/A321 aircraft are used. In Business Class, you have the typical economy seats with a free middle seat and 79 cm of seat pitch.

On the long-haul flights, an Airbus A350 is used. The aircraft features Collins AirLounge seats, which are rather unusual. The seatback cannot be reclined, so you either sit quite upright or lie completely flat. In my view, the seat is not very comfortable for sitting, but it does provide good sleeping comfort. Since both flights take place overnight, the conditions are at least fairly favourable.

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.

Miles & Points

The tickets are issued in booking class I. To give you an example, the round trip from Brussels would get you:

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.
