Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific Airways is offering deals to Asia from San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York. Destination cities on sale include Hong Kong, Manila, Singapore, Bangkok, Taipei and Delhi. Read more.

New York to Hong Kong must be purchased by December 31 for travel from January 11 through February 28. The sale fares start at $815. Read offer.

However, we found substantially lower rates when conducting itinerary searches for March and April, which is after the sale ends.

So, even better, it appears that travel from JFK to HKG for the next 4 1/2 months is deeply discounted!

See below for New York to Hong Kong for $717 in late April/early May.

International airfares have been exorbitantly low for travel all year and even into the early summer. Will this trend resume in the fall? This Cathay Pacific sale for round-trip airfare from Los Angeles or San Francisco to Bangkok or Singapore is a promising sign that it will…but who knows?

This deal is good for travel from Sept. 1 through Nov. 30 and you must book by May 31. You must fly on Monday through Thursday to lock down the $810 rate. You will incur an extra $25 fee for flying Friday through Sunday. More info…

There are a myriad of factors, including fuel prices, corporate earnings (which effects business travel) and the 10:00 news (see flu outbreaks), which can drastically change airfares. Airlines are reporting that revenue is stabilizing and prices may have bottomed out. Some airlines even attempted fare hikes in April. Given the volatile history of airfares in the last year, we highly recommend that you reserve your fall travel plans now if the price is right..don’t wait!
