Hey Tight Flights fam — this week’s spotlight is the kind of deal that changes plans.
🌆✈️ SAN → HONG KONG for $534 roundtrip (Save 48%)
Travel Window: Thu Apr 30 – Thu May 7
Flights like this are typically $990–$1,200 — and right now Hong Kong is sitting at nearly half off.
Why you should book this now
Because deals like this don’t “stay a deal.” Once enough people click, prices jump — sometimes within hours, sometimes overnight. If Hong Kong has ever been on your bucket list… this is a rare “I can actually do it” moment.
Why this is a GREAT time to be there (late April / early May)
This window is a sweet spot: you’re catching Hong Kong in a season that’s perfect for exploring — walkable weather, high city energy, and the kind of trip where every day feels like a movie scene.
But let’s be honest…
🍜 Hong Kong is a FOOD TRIP
Hong Kong doesn’t just feed you — it pulls you in.
Picture this: neon-lit streets, the smell of roasted meats in the air, steam rising from bowls, the sound of woks sizzling, and you holding something so good you stop talking mid-bite.
Here’s what you’re flying into:
Dim sum mornings: har gow (shrimp dumplings), siu mai, char siu bao, and crispy turnip cake fresh off the pan
Cantonese roast heaven: glossy char siu BBQ pork, siu yuk crispy pork belly, and roast duck that crackles when you bite in
Wonton noodle soup: springy noodles, delicate shrimp wontons, broth that tastes like it took all day (because it did)
Clay pot rice: smoky, crispy rice on the bottom with savory Chinese sausage + marinated meats — that crunchy edge is dangerous
Beef brisket noodles and fish ball curry from local spots that look simple… until you taste them
Egg tarts (the famous flaky kind), pineapple buns with a slab of butter, and silky milk tea that will ruin your “usual coffee” back home
Late night cravings? Dai pai dong-style stir fries, sizzling noodles, and skewers you eat standing on the sidewalk like a local
This is one of those cities where the “best meal of your life” happens on a random Tuesday, in a tiny shop, with a plastic stool.
Your move
Open the deal
Lock the dates (best move = buy first, plan details after)
If your schedule is flexible, try shifting a day earlier/later — sometimes it gets even cheaper
Hong Kong for nearly half off isn’t a “maybe later.”
It’s a “book it before it disappears.”
