Prices are indicative, shown in AUD and refreshed from provider APIs where available. Always confirm the final price on the provider's site - it is the price that applies. We may earn a commission if you buy through our links, which never changes what you pay. A row labelled "Featured partner" holds a paid position at the top of the table. Partners are listed before providers who pay us nothing, as our terms set out; sorting by price ignores all of that and orders on the number alone. How we make money.

If you are not flying out of Sydney
The international leg is rarely the problem. The domestic flight that gets you to it is: Canberra to Sydney is cancelled 5.3% of the time against a national average of 1.9%. Book both legs on one ticket and a missed connection is the airline's to fix. On separate tickets it is yours, and the international fare is the expensive half.

Hong Kong flights FAQs
How much is a flight to Hong Kong from Australia?

Across the 13 fares seen in the week to 18 October 2026, the cheapest from each city were Perth A$698, Melbourne A$852, Sydney A$937. These are fares that were seen, not fares guaranteed to still be available.
When is the cheapest month to fly to Hong Kong?
Of the 5 months with fares on record in the week to 18 October 2026, November 2026 was cheapest at A$698 return and December 2026 dearest at A$1,883 - a difference of A$1,185. Australian demand for Hong Kong peaks in January, so the months either side of it are usually where the cheaper fares are. Fares move daily, so treat this as the shape of the year rather than a promise about any one date.
Can you fly direct to Hong Kong from Australia?
Yes. Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Cairns all fly there direct. The busiest route is Sydney to Hong Kong, carrying 1,065,358 passengers a year. Figures are from the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics.
Should I book my domestic connection to Sydney on the same ticket as my Hong Kong flight?
Yes, wherever you can. Canberra to Sydney is cancelled 5.3% of the time against a national average of 1.9%, and on one ticket a missed connection is the airline's to fix - they rebook you onto the next flight to Hong Kong. On separate tickets the international fare is your loss. If the legs have to be separate, fly into Sydney the night before.
