Asia to Europe Award Space Is Showing Up, But Only for the Quick

If you've been sitting on a stash of miles waiting for a reason to book, this week's data gives you one. The same date keeps lighting up across Hong Kong, Singapore and Europe: **December 1**, right around Thanksgiving.

The catch is that most of it is flagged low availability, so this is a "search now, book fast" kind of issue. The prices are strong: **27,000 points** in economy and **52,000 points** in premium economy between Hong Kong and Europe.

Cash fares more your style? [Friday Flight Deals](https://fridayflightdeals.com) is our weekly newsletter for cheap cash flight deals, and it's worth a look before you commit points.

  • Hong Kong to London

  • Hong Kong to Paris

  • Hong Kong to Frankfurt

  • Hong Kong to Vancouver

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

 
🚨 Deal of the Week: Hong Kong to Frankfurt Business Class for 91,000 Points

A rare year-end window to Europe

Route: Hong Kong to Frankfurt on Business Class

Cost: **91,000 points**

Available: Tuesday, Dec 29, Wednesday, Dec 30 and Thursday, Dec 31, three consecutive days around Christmas, which is the busiest stretch of the year to fly.

Availability: Low. Frankfurt is also showing business class from Singapore (Dec 1) and in the reverse direction from Frankfurt to Hong Kong (Dec 1), both at 91,000 points, so there are multiple ways to build a trip.

Value: The data set doesn't include cash fares for these dates, so we can't give you a verified cents-per-point figure. What we can say is that three business class days over the holidays at a flat 91,000 points is the best premium cabin find in this week's data.

Why it's special: Year-end business class space on Asia-Europe routes rarely hangs around. Low availability means you should check it now rather than sleep on it.

How to book: Search the dates on the [award search tool](https://awardtravelfinder.com/search/results?airline=cathay-pacific&departure=HKG&destination=FRA), confirm the space is still there, and move your points over to the right program before you book.

The bottom line

If a Hong Kong to Frankfurt holiday trip is on your wish list, this is the one to act on. Low availability won't last, so check it today rather than next week.
