The HK segments

Once the circle Pacific was booked, I had to travel to HK. From Nice, there are few carriers flying there, and once again, I choose the matrix to get me a flight...
These were the chapest options to travel to HKG
The BA flights booked (their brand new A380 is scheduled on this route), I checked from time to time if other fares could be more interesting on the matrix... and the answer was no... but wait, yes , 2 weeks later BA published an end of summer sale... which was not on Matrix, even forcing the airline ba+ (and same for Turkish Airline which published a promo as well ...)

So you really need to register to as many airline newsletter as possible to get a good deal (like the France > Tokyo @440 Euros from Emirates last Feb), as search engines (even matrix) may not have the best fares...

for the record, the discounted BA offer was 11 euros cheaper than my regular flight (including the cxl fees)... but they charge a 15 EUR per cancellation, which made the deal not worth the change...

edreams offer a calendar of lowest fare, which may be convenient for popular destinations

HK means hold and confirmed in Amadeus terminal
