recommend a travel agency for a trip of Hongkong-NewZealand? |
|
|
A friend of mine wants to fly to tour from Brussel to Hongkong and then check out travel agencies for a flight to New Zealand. He has heard that you can get very cheap flights from Hongkong. Is this true? If so, can anyone recommend a good travel agency? Are there good value travel agencies in Singapore also?
Cheers |

On this airline tour,I don't think flights to NZ are ever very cheap if purchased close to time. There are only a few airlines flying this route so not a lot of competition. Two that I know for sure are AirNZ & Cathay Pacific. He might get a cheaper overall flight if he tried Virgin to SYD & then any trans Tasman airline. Another good source of flight info is Zuji

There are sometimes promotions during low season but those flights are not cheap as a rule. The cheapest would be group tickets with zero flexibility and no miles.
I suggest you get a flight with stopover in Hong Kong (possibly to Australia) and just buy the last leg separately, as #1 suggests. |

Cathay Pacific is selling flight+3 nights hotel to Auckland for HK$6299.-, fuel surcharge and airport tax not included. It is approximately HK$ 900.- Browse http://www.cxholidays.com/chl/r/group/familyaust Your friend can book on-line. Problem with "cheap" flights from Hong Kong is that travel agents there are not honest with their promotions and the final price including everything (taxes and fictitious extras) is quite a bit higher. My guess is Bangkok is a better place. As for flying to Australia first - they require onward ticket before issuing visa. |
