What’s the first thing we do when we land in Hong Kong? We go get dim sum. Without fail! We love Hong Kong a lot! If you don’t want to deal with the connections, United has nonstop flights for $999.

Despite San Francisco being a major gateway to Asia, it actually gets very few fares to there that we consider deals. Since our launch, this is the 4th time we’ve posted a deal to Hong Kong from San Francisco and the last one was in September of 2012 with a very restrictive sale that you could only depart on two days.
