Which airlines fly Delhi to Hong Kong non-stop?
Cathay Pacific, Air India and IndiGo fly non-stop from Terminal 3 at Delhi. Cathay is the strongest choice for onward connections, because Hong Kong is its hub for Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Australia and North America.
What are the best flight timings?
Hong Kong is 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of India. Overnight flights from Delhi land early morning, which gives you a full first day but a tired one. Daytime departures arrive in the evening, in time for the harbour lights. For Disneyland, an evening arrival and a first night near the park works well, because it is only 20–30 minutes from the airport.
Baggage on full-service and low-cost airlines
Cathay Pacific and Air India include meals and checked baggage, with allowances that depend on the fare brand. IndiGo includes a checked bag on most international fares but charges for meals and seats. Electronics shoppers should keep receipts and warranties together for Indian customs.
Getting from the airport to the city
The Airport Express reaches Hong Kong station in Central in about 24 minutes for around HKD 115 (₹1,300), with free shuttle buses to major hotels. Bus A21 to Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok costs about HKD 35 (₹395) and takes around an hour. A taxi costs HKD 300–400 (₹3,400–4,500).
When to book, and connecting options
Book 3–6 weeks ahead. Fares rise around Lunar New Year, Easter, Christmas and Indian school holidays. February–March, after Lunar New Year, and July–September, when it is hot and typhoons are possible, are usually cheapest. Macau is about an hour away by ferry or bridge bus, so many travellers add two nights there.
Tips for families and seniors
- Complete Pre-arrival Registration for every traveller, including children, before flying.
- Hong Kong involves steep streets and long MTR interchanges; book hotels close to a station with lifts.
- The Airport Express in-town check-in lets you drop bags at Hong Kong or Kowloon station on departure day, which helps families.
