Cheap flight to Hong Kong required

Hi,
I need to fly from London preferably Heathrow or at a push Gatwick to Hong Kong. I need to leave either 29th or 30th Oct and return 6th or 7th November.
Anyone know where I can look to get the best price?
Thanks in advance, any info appreciated.

    Hmm, prices have shot up since last time I looked.
    Can get one for £488 but not bet times or airline, anyone beat that?
    Tried Skyscanner and Expedia.
    Thanks
  • If thats for return id snap it up now.. And not worry about the times - there is a reason why flights with the best times to depart/arrive are priced so highly

    Yes but with a stop in between the journey is 19 hours, looking on Travel Supermarket as I don't mind paying a bit more for a shorter flight.

    If thats the case then get yourself over to Air Asia.com - i just remembered these.. Fly to KL for about £252 each way then onto HK for about 50 notes.

    Direct from stanstead too

    Thanks for all your help, I booked the Virgin one as it is a direct flight. I found it cheaper on TravelPack but couldn't find any good reviews on them so booked through Expedia as it was only an extra £8.
    Thanks for all your help.

    Avoid the last rows of seats on Virgin A340 aircraft, where the fuselage reduces, seats are at an angle and legroom can be reduced.
