Delta Air Lines starts flying Los Angeles – Hong Kong again on June 6. It’s a competitive route, with both United and Cathay Pacific offering multiple flights per day, and they must not be expecting it to sell well. They’re making business class awards available at great prices.
- 110,000 Skymiles apiece for business class each direction
- 93,500 Skymiles for Delta Amex credit card customers
- 9+ award seats per flight, every flight
- Coach starts at just 14,400 miles each way per person
Wide-open availability on Delta One for as low as 93.5k miles on LAX-HKG

This is available just about every day in July, August and September for at least 9 passengers per flight.
It is available in both directions when pricing as one-way trips. However, when I search as roundtrip the prices jump to a total of 350,000 miles.
This isn’t scream-worthy pricing compared to what many programs charge, but it’s amazing for Delta. Anything in long haul business class to and from the U.S. that isn’t twice that many miles is considered great. The only way to get a better deal is throwaway ticketing.
Getting 9 (or more) business class award seats at this price is actually phenomenal for any program. So if you want to get to Asia using Delta miles (or even American Express points) this is a good opportunity to use Hong Kong as a jumping off point.
