The combined fare for both the one way to Hong Kong and the Hong Kong originated Circle Pacific is less than the U.S. As of 2011, this prices less than $6,000 + taxes. From Hong Kong, you would then start a Circle Pacific ticket originated in Hong Kong taking you to Australia, back to the U.S, and with a flight coupon back to Hong Kong for your next trip. One possible strategy would be to purchase a one way ticket between San Francisco and Hong Kong at the Passport Premiere fare of $2,600 + taxes. Fares for departures from several Asian countries have not been raised and are not expected to rise as dramatically for the near future. For frequent international travelers to Australia/New Zealand there are still opportunities to utilize the Circle Pacific fare and obtain the pre July 1st, 2008 pricing by originating the trip in a third country. The pricing was changed to $9,300 in 2008 and remains $9,300 in 2011. As an example, the 22,000 mile fare prior to Jwas $5,500. Overnight, pricing increase by as much as 41% for U.S. On July 1st, 2008 the One World Alliance instituted the greatest single price increase for Circle Pacific travel since the advent of this program from North America.
