This is how I find the cheapest flights to Europe when I walk the Camino to Santiago. It also works for Asia or anywhere else in the world. download my Camino packing list here: docs.google.co...
I've have to admit, this video would be a lot more useful if Greg was sharing his screen while walking us through the process, instead of showing us his face most of the time with a few screenshots briefly shown here and there.
How much in advance should I book air travel from Hong Kong to Chicago during December for Christmas and New Years? And should I get a one-way or roundtrip tickets
I'm not very familiar with what a really good price would be for that flight, but right now the pricing for July and August is currently quite a bit higher than it is for September through January. I'm seeing round trip flights with a stop in Taipei for about $900 to $1,000. If you are only traveling for a week or two, that's where I would probably go ahead and book the round trip ticket. It actually looks like a one-way ticket is priced to the same as a round trip. I mentioned on a short-term trip that it might make sense, but if you were booking to stay for a couple of months it might not. So if it's just that holiday period, The pricing can be volatile during that time so you might want to go ahead and book it round trip. It seems like a pretty consistent price from September all the way into January. The other thing to consider during the holidays is weather. Chicago can have some extreme weather in the winter, so probably better to have that round trip booked. You could pull up that flight and set the tracking so it emails you every day with price changes.
There's a train that leaves several times a day. Sometimes there's buses if there are any issues with the trains. It takes about an hour to get to SJPDP from Bayonne.
