Excellent fares have popped up from Auckland to Hong Kong on Hainan Airlines, with economy class starting from just $1,081 return and business class from $4,424 return.

Hainan Airlines, China’s largest privately-owned carrier, offers a solid alternative to the usual suspects on this route. As a member of the HNA Group, they operate a modern fleet primarily consisting of Boeing 787 Dreamliners and Airbus A330s on international routes. The airline has been consistently rated as a Skytrax 5-star airline since 2011, putting them in the same league as Singapore Airlines and Qatar Airways.

For those considering business class, Hainan’s offering stands out with fully lie-flat beds in a 1-2-1 configuration on their 787s, ensuring direct aisle access for all passengers. Their business class hard product often surpasses what you’ll find on Air New Zealand’s older 777s or Cathay Pacific’s regional aircraft on this route. The soft product includes Chinese and Western meal options, with a focus on fresh ingredients and presentation that rivals premium carriers.

Worth noting that Hainan Airlines has codeshare agreements with several airlines including Virgin Australia, Alaska Airlines, and Brussels Airlines. While not part of any major alliance, they maintain partnerships that can be useful for earning and redeeming points through various programs.
