Hello Hong Kong: How To Get The Free Airline Tickets, Vouchers, Gifts [UPDATED]

Anjali Muthanna

Hong Kong has dropped all of its Covid-19 restrictions and is welcoming visitors to experience everything the city has to offer — from dim sum and street markets , to hikes and beaches . Read on to find out how you can win free airline tickets to and from Hong Kong, as well as complimentary drinks , cash vouchers , and other goodies.

What is Hello Hong Kong?

The government recently launched Hello Hong Kong, a promotional campaign to encourage tourists to visit the city. The biggest draw of the campaign is the giveaway of more than 700,000 free airline tickets to and from Hong Kong. It’s important to note that only 65% of these tickets will be given to travellers , while the rest are reserved for government bodies to promote tourism in the city.

The tickets will be for round-trip economy flights on four Hong Kong-based airlines: Cathay Pacific, HK Express, Hong Kong Airlines, and Greater Bay Airlines. Travellers will only have to pay the taxes, surcharges, and fees that apply to the tickets. There are other incentives for visitors, such as welcome drinks, cash vouchers, and gifts.

How can tourists get their free tickets?

Tourists will get 500,000 free tickets , which the airlines will distribute in different ways: buy-one-get-one-free promotions, lucky draws , competitive games , or on a first-come-first-served basis .

The campaign is called the “World of Winners” campaign, and those interested in getting these tickets should visit the airline websites to check when the offers kick off and subscribe to the newsletters to get reminders:

  • https://flights.cathaypacific.com/en_HK/offers/world-of-winners.html
  • https://www.hongkongairlines.com/en_HK/readysetgo/main
  • https://wow.hkexpress.com/jp/en-jp/
  • https://www.greaterbay-airlines.com/hk/en/offers/promotions/World-of-Winners-Tickets-Giveaway-Campaign.html

When can tourists get these free tickets?

The ticket giveaways will run from March 1, 2023 till September 2023 . They will be distributed to travellers from different regions based on the pre-pandemic pattern of visitors to Hong Kong. Here is the schedule of when the tickets will become available to tourists:

  • March: Southeast Asia (Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Cambodia)
  • April: Mainland China
  • May: Europe (The UK, Germany, Switzerland, France, and Spain), North America (the US and Canada), Australia, New Zealand, and Asia (Israel, the UAE, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and South Korea)
  • June: Japan, South Africa, and South Korea
  • July: Taiwan
  • September: Mainland China

Cathay Pacific

Cathay Pacific was the first airline to announce its giveaway schedule. It distributed 80,000 tickets to visitors from seven different countries in Southeast Asia , starting March 1 . Residents of these countries had to either be a Cathay member or sign up for free membership on the airline’s website. They were then required to answer three questions correctly and the fastest to do so were eligible for the tickets.

In April, Cathay Pacific organised a lucky draw campaign to distribute tickets to tourists from Mainland China and the Greater Bay Area , with tickets to Hong Kong for Mainland China visitors from Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Xiamen, and other Mainland cities except the Greater Bay Area ( read the latest announcement ), and tickets to overseas destinations via Hong Kong International Airport for travellers from the Greater Bay Area ( read the latest announcement ).

In May and June, Cathay will give away free tickets from various destinations, including:

Hong Kong Airlines

Hong Kong Airlines runs a Click & Go campaign by which they give tickets away to participants on a first-come-first-served basis. Each traveller can only win one ticket , which can only be used for a trip that is between two days and seven days long . Passengers aged below two years old are not eligible for Click & Go tickets, while those between two and 12 years old must be accompanied by an adult. The tickets can only be used for specific travel dates and are also subject to blackout dates.

  • South East Asia: Hong Kong Airlines began its participation in the Hello Hong Kong campaign in March when it distributed 6,000 free round-trip economy tickets to Hong Kong from three cities in Southeast Asia: Bangkok, Hanoi, and Manila .
  • South Korea : In May, the carrier announced that travellers from Seoul could win 2,200 tickets to Hong Kong by participating in Phase 2 of its Click & Go campaign from May 17-19. The airline also kicked off a Special 2-For-1 Offer for round trips to Hong Kong originating in Seoul.
  • Japan: The airline held a two-day campaign to give away free tickets from Japan to the SAR from June 27-29 for passengers from Tokyo, Osaka, Sapporo, Okinawa, Fukuoka, and Nagoya . There is also a Special 2-For-1 Offer for tickets from Tokyo, Osaka, Okinawa, Fukuoka or Nagoya to Hong Kong.
  • Taipei: Hong Kong Airlines gave away 1,100 free tickets from Taipei to Hong Kong from August 29-31, for travel dates between September 1, 2023 and March 24, 2024, except for blackout dates from September 28- October 9,2023, and February 7-14, 2024.

The carrier is currently running a Click & Go campaign by which 15,800 visitors from Mainland China — departing from Shanghai Pudong , Nanjing , Hangzhou , Shanghai Hongqiao , Chongqing , Beijing Daxing , Haikou , Sanya , and Beijing — to Hong Kong can win another round of free round-trip economy tickets. Participants who successfully book their tickets must use them for travel dates between September 12, 2023 and March 24, 2024, for travel periods lasting between two and seven days.

Budget carrier HK Express began its campaign in late June 2023 with a giveaway for visitors from Japan. It gave away 14,900 tickets from June 26-July 9 on a first-come-first-served basis to Japan residents from Tokyo (Narita and Haneda), Osaka, Fukuoka, Nagoya, Takamatsu, Kagoshima, and Okinawa to Hong Kong.

The airline also distributed more than 24,000 tickets to Mainland Chinese residents to travel to 19 cities in Asia via Hong Kong from August 29-September 11 . The destinations included cities in Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, and Thailand.

Greater Bay Airlines

Greater Bay Airlines ran two lucky draw competitions to give  Korean passport holders   aged over 19 years old  travelling from Seoul the chance to win  200 round-trip tickets to Hong Kong . The campaign for the first 100 tickets ran from  May 16-31 , and the giveaway for the second lot of 100 tickets took place from  June 10-30 .

Passengers can also avail a buy-one-girl-one-free offer on round-trip tickets between Seoul and Hong Kong purchased from  select travel partners .

The carrier kicked off its  ticket giveaway for travellers from Taiwan to Hong Kong  in July. The airline is distributing a  total of 1,500 economy round-trip tickets  to passengers from  Taipei to Hong Kong  as part of two campaigns:  lucky draws and a buy-one-get-one-free offer . Passengers can register for three rounds of lucky draws until September 28 in which they stand a chance to win 100, 50, and another 50 tickets respectively.

How can Hongkongers get their tickets ?

Hong Kong residents began getting 80,000 free airline tickets from July 2023 . Three city-based airlines have been giving away tickets to SAR residents to travel from Hong Kong to various destinations across Asia.

The distribution drive began with the HK Express campaign in which the airline gave free tickets to travellers from Hong Kong to 19 destinations in five countries in Asia , from July 11-24. There were 21,626 tickets available on a first-come-first-served basis to go to:

  • Japan:  Tokyo (Narita and Haneda), Osaka, Fukuoka, Nagoya, Takamatsu, Kagoshima, and Okinawa
  • South Korea:  Seoul, Busan, and Jeju
  • Thailand:  Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi), Phuket, and Chiang Mai
  • Vietnam:  Da Nang and Nha Trang
  • Taiwan:  Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung

In late July, Hong Kong Airlines revealed that it would distribute free tickets to SAR residents for international travel in three rounds. In Round 1, the carrier will give 6,800 tickets for Hongkongers to Osaka, Chongqing, Bali, Sapporo, and Shanghai Hongqiao on July 24 on a first-come-first-served basis.

Hong Kong Airlines followed this up with a second round of free tickets for Hongkongers. The carrier also gave 9,800 tickets for Hong Kong residents to travel to Bangkok, Sanya, Beijing Daxing, Hangzhou, Nagoya, Nanjing, and Seoul on August 7 . It will conclude its distribution drive for Hong Kong residents this month during an in-person promotion for 1,000 free tickets on August 26 and 27, and an online campaign for 8,500 tickets from August 21.

The airline recently revealed that it will begin another Click & Go campaign on October 17 for Hong Kong departures on designated routes on a first-come-first-served basis. No other details have been revealed as yet.

The low-cost carrier will give tickets to passengers as part of a buy-one-get-one free offer, from September 18-30 . The airline will give tickets from Hong Kong to six destinations in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam, but has not yet revealed details about how passengers can book these tickets.

There were also 60,000 tickets distributed to encourage residents to get their Covid-19 vaccinations in 2021, and there will be additional tickets for travellers from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area.

NOTES, COMMENT AND BUZZ FROM EUGENE KASPERSKY – OFFICIAL BLOG

  • #mesta obitaniya

July 3, 2024

A special hotel for special meetings on a special island on a special lake!

Farewell Hong Kong ; hello Beijing!…

On this multi-stage business trip around Southeast Asia, our next port of call was the Chinese capital for another conference of ours. Here, as per, I told our partners and clients all about our latest achievements, new technologies and products and services. I say “as per”, since I know the routine so well now I hardly need glance at my slides for facts and figures. But… one thing was different this time – very. It was the setting the conference took place in: the Yanqi Kempinski .

I couldn’t find much info about the place on the internet, so I’ll give you my first-person account based on my short stay there…

hello hong kong tour

Turns out this here five-star hotel is often used for meetings and summits of top-level officials. And it shows ->

hello hong kong tour

Like I say – it shows. A setting fit for a king – everything neat, stylish and luxuriant; including that there nine-story Buddhist temple (recently built, but in the traditional/ancient style) ->

hello hong kong tour

The hotel’s decorative installations and other trimmings – tasteful, modest, original, striking…

hello hong kong tour

The hotel is situated on a small island in a lake to the north of Beijing on its outskirts, here , and here:

hello hong kong tour

On our walkabout around the hotel’s grounds, we were naturally drawn to the Buddhist tower, and were able to take the elevator up to the top floor…

hello hong kong tour

Curiously, only the ground and top floors are accessible. So it does seem like it’s purely for show, with the bonus of the top floor being open. Which reminded me of another quirk of construction in China: often buildings – including huge ones – are built to be used… just once a year. One big event annually and that’s it – done. Like the congress center in Wuzhen , where every year the World Internet Conference takes place; the rest of the year it stands empty!

From up top – splendid views:

hello hong kong tour

Hard to imagine downtown Beijing is just an hour’s drive south from here!

hello hong kong tour

Beijing? But over there – mountains! While in the foreground – rock garden for meditation:

hello hong kong tour

The rock garden was just as nice once inside it. Shame we couldn’t partake in a spot of meditation – too busy a schedule, plus it was over 40 degrees out! Hardly gonna be able to concentrate on the breath in that heat…

hello hong kong tour

We micro-meditated instead by placing our attention on the wonderful rocks while walking around:

hello hong kong tour

The hotel complex features a venue made specially for top-level talks. For example, APEC have convened here three times already:

hello hong kong tour

Here’s what it looks like inside:

hello hong kong tour

Impressive wood carving wall panel. Imagine how many hours were spent on it. Astonishing detail:

hello hong kong tour

All very nice, but I wouldn’t have one in my apartment )…

hello hong kong tour

From what I gathered toward the end of our walkabout, this building is used for APEC meetings exclusively – no others. It’s the Chinese way )…

hello hong kong tour

Information board – no English translation ( ->

hello hong kong tour

We finish off our stroll having a look around inside…

hello hong kong tour

Thils was my “standard room” :0) ->

hello hong kong tour

I managed to somehow survive my stay in such spartan, cramped conditions )…

The rest of the photos from Beijing are here .

Traditional – and nocturnal – Hong Kong.

When you hear the words “Hong Kong”, what springs to mind first? Go on – what images just appeared in your mind’s eye just now? Was it a film you’ve seen set there – maybe one starring Jackie Chan or perhaps Bruce Lee, or was it a Bond movie? Was it the skyscrapers and bright […]

An afternoon free in Tokyo – on an urban walkabout we did go!

After surviving the Fugu, it was time for a stroll. And since the Tokyo Imperial Palace wasn’t far from our hotel, we figured that’s where we should be heading… Coming up – lots of photos, few words. Who needs words when you’ve got scenes like these? ->

Surviving the fugu-fish delicacy – no poison, and very oiy-shee!

My recent trip to Japan wasn’t a very long one, but you’ve already had five posts about it (on transportation, a safari park, Disneyland, TeamLab and work)! And guess what? There are quite a few more still to come! But of course there are. For this is Japan – always different, always curiously fascinating! Coming […]

Tokyo IT exhibition – ex K lusively.

After all the good fun with the kids at Japan’s Disneyland and TeamLab, it was time to turn my attention to work.

Mind blown – at TeamLab Planets in Tokyo.

My next tale from the Japanese side is one of astonishment. It’s not too often you see me astonished. But it does happen occasionally. It happened on the Kolyma Highway in Siberia – and not due to the extreme cold itself but its extraordinary bleaching effect on the surrounding landscapes. There was astonishment at the […]

Japanese Disneyland.

My recent business trip to Japan came with plenty of tourism that took place before I got down to work. But of course it did, for I was showing the country to the younger generation for the first time. Now, the best kind of tourism for me personally is the high-octane adventurous kind (like in […]
