Online Booking
Because flights availability changes so rapidly. Web sites have become the best way for last-minute travelers to keep up with what is going on.
Here are some handy sites for those travelling out of Hong Kong.
www.asiahotels.com has a database of 3,500 hotels and resorts located in 24 Asian countries. They negotiate with hotels for discounted
prices, which they pass on their customers. Customers don't pay extra for booking through this Web site, which makes money by taking a cut directly from the hotels. One bonus is that asia-hotels.com
has independently written reviews by staff and customers, which are much more honest than the usual PR stuff you get online.
