Southeast Asia Sale on Cathay Pacific: New York/Hong Kong $795 Roundtrip Including Fees; Manila $872; Bangkok $1142; Hong Kong Stopover Allowed

If you have a yearning to visit Southeast Asia, it's a little less expensive right now if you take advantage of a fare sale aboard Cathay Pacific. They have cut fares for travel in February was down -- roundtrip nonstop from New York to Hong Kong is as low as $795; in March or April the fare is just a bit higher at $865. But if you're going all that distance and want to take further advantage, there are a lot of other cities available with great fares. And Cathay Pacific allows you to include a stopover in Hong Kong so you can get two great cities for one low fare.

For example, they have flights to Manila from New York in February from $872. I did some searching using the Multiple Destination/Stopover link on their flight search page and was able to book New York to Hong Kong, stopover in Hong Kong for two days then on to Manila, and return from Manila to New York for $886. If I moved dates around, I probably could do even a bit better.

What's amazing is that these are the fares including the airport/security fees and taxes!

They have New York to/from Bangkok from $1142; to/from Kuala Lumpur from $1136; Beijing from $885; Singapore from $1141; Ho Chi Minh City from $1136; and several others as well. The lowest fares can typically be found midweek but you should poke around.

Some of the cities have best prices in February and slightly higher in March/April. Other cities have one low fare covering all three months.

They also offer airfares from Los Angeles and San Francisco. What's weird is that several of the cities are much less expensive from LA, but Hong Kong is more than the fare from New York.

These low airfares have to be booked by the end of January, but the sooner you book, the better your choice of dates and flights is bound to be.

For anyone who wants to or needs to go to Southeast Asia soon, the options are terrific and these prices are sure to catch your eye. Plus on top of the fare, you're traveling on Cathay Pacific, one of the top-rated air carriers in the world. It's also the only airline in the world that offers fixed-back shell seats in economy class. These innovative seats ensure that the person in front of you doesn't intrude in to your space when they recline. All seats also have 9-inch widescreen TVs featuring a library of on-demand entertainment, including 100 movies, 350 TV shows and more. And it's nonstop to Hong Kong!
