Three routes caught my eye this week, and honestly the whole batch is a genuine flood. Hong Kong award availability has cracked wide open across virtually every major route - London, Paris, Frankfurt, New York, LA, San Francisco, Vancouver - and it spans Economy, Premium Economy, and even Business Class.

If you have been sitting on Asia Miles, Avios, or any transferable currency and have been eyeing a trip to or from Hong Kong, this week is the week to move. Dates start as soon as Nov 1 - that is just over two weeks away.

One more thing before we get into the deals - the Chase Ultimate Rewards to Marriott Bonvoy 70% transfer bonus ENDS TODAY. If you have been planning a Marriott redemption, stop reading, go transfer, and come back. I will wait.

This week's trivia is inspired by today's bumper crop of Hong Kong deals. Here is your question:

Which transferable points currency currently has the LARGEST active transfer bonus to a Flying Blue (Air France/KLM) partner this week?

The answer is at the bottom of today's newsletter... keep scrolling!

Frankfurt (FRA) to Hong Kong (HKG) - Business Class. Just 91,000 points one-way, with availability showing up in late November.

Available dates: Nov 26, Nov 27, and Nov 29. Availability is Low, so this one will not hang around.

Now here is where it gets interesting. Citi ThankYou has a 35% transfer bonus to Qatar Privilege Club Avios running right now (ends October 31, in 16 days). Qatar Privilege Club is a Oneworld partner, and Oneworld carriers serve this route - meaning you could potentially cover a 91,000-point redemption with significantly fewer Citi points after the bonus lands. That is real money saved on a flight that regularly prices at $4,000+ in cash.

Late November Business Class from Frankfurt to Hong Kong for 91,000 points is a legitimately strong find - low availability means you need to act now. Transfer Citi ThankYou to Qatar Privilege Club Avios before October 31 to maximise value, then search availability through the Qatar Privilege Club portal or a Oneworld partner's booking tool.

There is a massive wall of Hong Kong Economy award space opening up from multiple US and Canadian gateways right now. Here is what is live:

💡 Tip: The Amex Membership Rewards to Air France Flying Blue +25% transfer bonus (ends October 31, in 16 days) could help you cover these redemptions with fewer base points. Flying Blue has solid Cathay Pacific partner availability on many trans-Pacific routes.

European readers are not left out - Economy availability to Hong Kong is wide open from both London and Frankfurt this week.

UK readers - the Capital One Miles to British Airways Avios +20% transfer bonus is running until October 31 (in 16 days), which could give you a meaningful boost on Avios-priced redemptions on this corridor. Smart With Points has a great breakdown of how to stack Avios deals right now.

If you are based in Hong Kong or passing through, there is genuinely strong Economy availability to multiple long-haul destinations in early November.

That is seven long-haul destinations from Hong Kong with high Economy availability in November. If you prefer paying cash over points on any of these routes, Friday Flight Deals tracks cheap cash fares - worth a comparison before you commit points.

🏨 Hyatt House at Anaheim Resort / Convention Center (Anaheim, CA) - approximately 15,000 Hyatt points per night at a value of 8.0 cents per point. This is one of the best pure-value hotel redemptions in the entire Hyatt portfolio right now. At 8cpp you are getting more value per point than almost any flight deal on this page.

🏨 InterContinental Grand Seoul Parnas (Seoul, South Korea) - approximately 68,000 IHG points per night at 5.9 cents per point. Seoul is one of the most underrated luxury travel destinations in Asia, and this property is the benchmark InterContinental in the city. With IHG's card changes in 2026 meaning many people have more IHG points than ever, this is a timely redemption to flag.

The full hotel redemptions list - all 12 properties across Hyatt, Marriott, Hilton, and IHG - is waiting for premium subscribers below.
