travel from US to Hong Kong

Planning to take my family to visit Hong Kong sometime this year.Has anyone had experience using a travel agent here or in Hong Kong to plan for a good size group with air and good hotels in Hong Kong that you were happy with?

Planning a trip to Hong Kong for a family group from the US can be made much easier with the help of a travel agent, especially if you want flights, hotels, and possibly local tours arranged efficiently. Both US-based and Hong Kong-based travel agents can provide services, each with their own advantages.

Using a US-based travel agent:

  • They are familiar with your local departure airports, airlines, and fare rules, which makes booking multi-person flights easier.
  • They can package flights with hotels, sometimes offering better group rates.
  • Communication is easy in your own time zone and language.

Using a Hong Kong-based travel agent:

  • They often have access to local deals on hotels, experiences, and transport that US agents may not know about.
  • Can assist with last-minute or special requests like connecting hotels near the MTR or attractions.
  • Good for arranging private tours, day trips, or special dining experiences.

Tips for arranging your trip:

  • Decide if you want a fully packaged trip (flight + hotel + tours) or just assistance with hotels and flights.
  • Compare prices from US-based agents versus booking online independently; sometimes agents provide group discounts that are not available online.
  • For hotels, prioritize locations close to MTR stations, as this makes getting around Hong Kong easier, especially with children.
  • Consider the size of your family group when choosing hotel rooms—some hotels offer suites or interconnecting rooms suitable for families.

In general, travelers with a good size family group find that a combination of flight booking through a US agent and hotel/tour arrangements through a reputable Hong Kong agent provides the best balance of convenience, cost, and local knowledge.
