Hmm. Austin to Hong Kong or Tokyo, which to choose? Why not Hong Kong and Tokyo to Osaka and Kyoto for $947 + $148 rail for the 2015 cherry blossom season?
[06/30/2014 @ 3:11 PM] Price has increased to $980.

If you’re going to drop about $1000 on airfare to Asia you should probably just do this instead.
Fly from Houston to Tokyo, then take the Shinkansen (Japan’s high-speed bullet train) to Kyoto and Osaka then catch a flight to Jakarta, hang out there for a while before catching a flight to check out Singapore, eat a chili-crab, then finally, after all of that, get on a plane back home to Houston for $1258 flights + $148 rail.
This itinerary makes good use of the fare’s free open-jaw and paid-stopover.
[07/10/2014 @ 1:04 PM] This fare looks dead.
In this post I cover how to construct a complex itinerary with multiple stopovers when buying airfare, and I go in-depth on how stopovers work. If you’ve ever wanted to understand how to get the most out of stopovers and how they work then this article is for you.

If you’re trying to get cheap flights from Houston (IAH) to Hong Kong (HKG) you still have a couple of options: Asiana via Incheon (ICN) and Los Angeles (LAX) or Air Canada via Toronto (YYZ) Montreal (YUL) or Vancouver (YVR). These options aren’t as good as the United fare with stopovers which was available last month when this was originally posted, but these fares are still pretty decent.
[06/22/2014 @ 9:20 PM] Added this back to the deals page. Asiana flights still available: 70% accrual. Air Canada available: 100%, 10+ hour stopover required in Toronto.
