Currently held itin (I love having a month long hold to change freely as flights open!!!)
This uses all 16 segments allowed (including 1 land segment) under Oneworld rules and is
34,830 miles.I have 3 main concerns that I'd love to hear your suggestons about.
1. Just 33 hours in Hong Kong. Maybe I should skip the wedding in London to get an extra night in HKG. Just how much time do you need in HKG?
2. Arriving in HKG on 12/26 at 10:45pm and departing early the next morning. Doesn't seem worth going into the city for that. Any airport hotel recommendations?
I could also take an earlier flight from Phuket to Hong Kong but the earlier Air Asia flight is an extra $30pp and the earlier Bangkok to Hong Kong flight is on Royal Jordanian which seems to have a very substandard reviews in business compared to Cathay Pacific. Although it's just a 3 hour flight and if we do that option we'll arrive in HKG 7pm instead of 10:45pm.
3. Not very happy with spending shabbos in Toronto at the end of the trip.
