KAYAK, the world’s leading travel search engine, has arrived in Hong Kong and we’re ready to help budding travellers by sharing our top travel tips. We crunch the numbers to provide the best advice, making planning easier and cheaper for Hong Kong’s travellers.

The winning formula? Be organised and book in advance.

According to our flight data analysis, timing is the key to big savings on airfares. We found that flights to most areas of the globe should be booked between two and two-and-a-half months in advance, in order to take advantage of the lowest airfares. The exceptions are flights to the Caribbean, which should be booked almost three months in advance, and flights within Asia, which should be secured around six weeks in advance.
