Peak season:
Hong Kong’s peak season runs from October through February, and finding cheap flights during this period might be easier said than done. With the Chinese New Year falling in February, you can expect Hong Kong to be a booming tourist destination over this time. If you’re planning a visit during this peak season, be sure to book your flights to Hong Kong as far in advance as possible to avoid missing out on this spectacular event.
Off season:
Between the months of February and September, the south-eastern parts of Hong Kong see a decline in tourist activity due to the hot and humid weather. The off season might be a window of opportunity for you to find the best deals on flight tickets, but since Hong Kong has year-round goo weather, you may be able to find cheap flights here throughout the year with a bit of forward-planning.

I'm a long time SQ patron. For good reason. Had a similar trip last year and took another airline (at that time, price was the main factor). This time I took SQ as they had really good rates. No comparison. Dependable, reliable service and excellent aircraft. No issue with my special checked in item (a guitar that had to be handled differently) on my way to my destination (not this flight). In the previous mentioned other airline, they misplace my luggage upon arrival. After spending about an hour (with no effective help from that airline's agent), I managed to find it at another belt!
