Hong Kong’s flagship carrier flies direct between Denpasar (DPS) and Hong Kong (HKG) in around 4.5 hours with a full-service experience, generous baggage allowance, and reliable schedules.
AirAsia
Offers connecting flights via Kuala Lumpur at competitive prices, a solid budget option for travelers happy to trade a short layover for lower fares.
Hong Kong Express
The budget arm of Cathay Pacific occasionally runs direct or near-direct seasonal routes between Bali and Hong Kong at low fares — worth checking for promotional deals.

Tips for Finding Cheap Fares
- Book 4-8 weeks ahead for the best fares on this route — prices climb sharply inside the final 2 weeks
- Tuesday and Wednesday departures are typically cheaper than Friday/Sunday flights
- Direct Cathay Pacific flights take about 4.5 hours, one of the more convenient long-haul routes out of Bali
- Avoid flying around Lunar New Year and Golden Week, when fares on this route spike sharply
- Set a price alert if your dates are flexible — fares can fluctuate by 20-30% week to week
- Budget carriers connecting via Kuala Lumpur or Taipei charge extra for checked baggage — factor this into your fare comparison
- Compare direct versus connecting fares — a one-stop flight can sometimes beat the direct Cathay Pacific fare by a wide margin
Best Time to Visit Hong Kong
Hong Kong has a subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and mild, dry winters. The most comfortable months to visit are typically October to December, when humidity drops and skies are clearer, while June to August brings the heaviest rain and occasional typhoons that can disrupt flight schedules.
For flights, avoid booking around Lunar New Year (dates vary by year) and Golden Week in early October, when both fares and hotel rates rise sharply across the city.
Planning Your Arrival in Hong Kong
Once you land at Hong Kong International Airport, the Airport Express train gets you into the city center in about 25 minutes, and taxis are widely available and metered fairly. Most first-time visitors base themselves on Hong Kong Island around Central or Causeway Bay, or across the harbour in Tsim Sha Tsui for easy access to major sights and dining.
A rental car is rarely necessary in Hong Kong itself given the excellent public transport network, but can be useful if you're planning a side trip into mainland China or the New Territories.
Where to Stay in Hong Kong
Central and Admiralty put you steps from the Peak Tram, Star Ferry, and the city's best skyline views, ideal if you want a business-district base close to major sights. Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon offers stunning harbour views back toward Hong Kong Island, along with a huge range of hotels at every budget.
For a more local, character-filled base, consider Sheung Wan or Mong Kok — both offer bustling markets and street food, with easy MTR connections to Central and Tsim Sha Tsui.
