Travelling to Hong Kong just got a lot more affordable. Greater Bay Airlines, a Hong Kong-based low-cost carrier, is launching Singapore-Hong Kong flights with prices starting at just $82 for a one-way ticket.
If you haven't heard of Greater Bay Airlines, it's a fairly new airline founded by Chinese investor Bill Wong Cho Bau who also owns Shenzhen-based Donghai Airlines. Greater Bay Airlines took its inaugural flight in July 2022 and currently serves seven destinations from Hong Kong with a fleet of seven Boeing 737-800 aircraft. These destinations include Osaka, Manila, and Seoul.
The Singapore-Hong Kong direct route is expected to launch on April 26. There are three ticket tiers to choose from: Go Go is the cheapest and includes 7kg of carry-on luggage and no seat selection; Value Go is a comfortable mid-range option that offers 20kg of checked baggage and rebooking at a fee of $100; while Flex Go is the most expensive tier affording 20kg of checked luggage, seat selection, and free rebooking. You can pre-pay $51 for an additional 20kg of checked baggage. Afraid you'll get hungry on the flight? Greater Bay Airlines also offers pre-paid inflight meals from S$10 spanning Hong Kong classics, kids' meals, vegetarian meals, and low-sodium or diabetic-friendly options.
Greater Bay Airlines will operate the new route on a daily fixed schedule. Flights from Hong Kong will depart at 9.45am and arrive in Singapore at 1.45pm, while flights from Singapore will depart at 2.45pm and arrive in Hong Kong at 6.45pm. Flights will be open for booking from April 26 onwards.
