Webjet HK cannot give any quotes over the phone, prices can only be found on the website.

Search flight prices via the home page www.webjet.com.hk.

To search: Type the destination city in the search box. Enter your travel dates and the number of people travelling, and then click the green 'Search Flights' button. A list of flights matching your specifications will be displayed showing prices, departure and arrival times and the available airlines. Watch the How to book flights at Webjet demonstration now.

Please note: Our search system automatically looks for return flights, if you want one way, select that flight type option. For multi-city trips, select “Multi City/Stopover” on the flight type option.

If booking one way international flights, depending on the destination, please ensure that you have all the relevant visa requirements.  Some destinations may require seeing an airline ticket that shows your return flight home.

Q2/ What is my luggage allowance?

International Travel- For up to date information contact your airline before you travel as allowances vary greatly.

Some fares only allow hand luggage. If you are planning to take luggage that will not fit in the overhead cabin you need a ticket that allows checked luggage.

Any questions about bulky items, sports equipment (bikes, golf clubs, surfboards, musical instruments etc), or any dangerous items, (firearms, chemicals etc) will need to be taken up with the airline you are travelling with directly.

According to the Airline Operators Committee of the Hong Kong International Airport, it states that hand luggage carried onboard an aircraft must not exceed 56cm x 36cm x 23cm (22” x 14” x 9”).

Checked luggage is where your bag/suitcase etc is placed into the hold of the plane (as cargo).

"No" checked luggage means that you will travel with carry on hand luggage only (ensure you are aware of the weight restrictions that apply for the airline you are travelling with).

Allowance for Check-in Luggagefor Each Passenger
There are two systems:

(a) The Piece System - This system is applicable to passengers travelling to or from the USA or Canada. In general, passengers are allowed to carry two pieces of luggage forfree, provided that the weight of each piece does not exceed 32 kg and the size does not exceed the maximum dimensions allowed (which depends on which class the passengers are entitled to travel).

(b) The Weight System - This system is applicable to passengers travelling to or from places other than the USA or Canada. In general, the allowance for checked baggage is 40 kg for first class, 30 kg for business class and 20 kg for economy class.

For details of the free luggageallowance and excess luggagecharges, please contact the airlines concerned direct.

Q15/ Do I have enough time to make suggested connections?

Webjet HK is committed to offering you the cheapest flight deals for your trip. Sometimes this requires achange of airports at your transfer city (for example you fly from Hong Kong via Beijing and the flight from Hong Kong gets you into Beijing airport and the connecting flight leaves from Beijing airport). We only show you connections where you should have enough time to transfer between the airports. We only recommend those offers to seasoned travelers as there is always a risk of traffic delays or other unforeseen matters that may prevent you from making the connection.  Furthermore you need to be aware of Visa regulations, as these transfers require immigration into the country and therefore you might need an immigration visa rather than a transfer visa.  Changing airports can be a great way of saving money but please be aware of the possible hassle that comes with the savings.

We want you to feel safe and secure booking your travel with us online.

The process of encryption prevents unauthorized individuals from viewing your information as it is securely transmitted over the Internet.  Once received, your credit card information is not transmitted over the Internet again.
