Virgin’s entry on the Sydney-Hong Kong route is great if you’re a Virgin Australia flyer. But it’s also good news if you prefer to fly with Qantas or Cathay Pacific because Virgin has added fresh competition to the route. Both Qantas and Cathay Pacific have matched Virgin Australia’s cheap airfares to Hong Kong, sparking a price war. So if you’re looking for cheap flights to Hong Kong, now is the perfect time to book!
The new Virgin Australia flights from Sydney to Hong Kong complement Virgin’s existing Melbourne-Hong Kong services.
