We posted similar fares (one and two) to Hong Kong on Korean Air. But we think the Asiana one is even better because:

• It is available for 2016 travel
• If you are SFO based, you are likely an United flyer, this will give you almost 10K in elite qualifying miles.

ITA will price this at $586, however, when you go and buy it on Orbitz, it will price at $570.

Fare Availability:

• Valid for travel on the outbound from late August – November 30th or January, 2016 – April 30th or for Sunday through Thursday departures. Must purchase at least 1 day in advance of departure

• Please note that while this fare is valid at time of posting, if this post is more than two days old, the fare is likely gone.
