Flight schedule

Now you decide to travel from Hong Kong to San Francisco. What to do? Start guessing and browsing blindly from individual airline websites? Don't waste your time doing so. Then how? First, you need to know which airlines flying there. (Talk about money issue later.)

Find your favourites flight schedule from any of these websites. These reservation systems are widely used by travel agents worldwide. (Of course they are not using these websites).

Abacus - user friendly and fast for quick look.

Amadeus - append with world map just beside the search box which is very good if you wish to find alternative city which may be nearer or with more flight schedules. Also, you will see more details such as number of stop, flying time, equipment use, etc. (very choosy right? I booked my very own flight, may be like many of you, my hands worked faster than my mind, OMG operated by Fokker70, too late to change, so please check. )

#How to identify which is coshare flight? Answer: 4 digits flight number for international route.
OAG - you can do your search here to see any budget airlines operating. The search result only show which airlines flying between the choosen destinations, both commercial and budget, no further detail.
Now happy with your choosen flight and on the way to fly, what to do next? If self service, you may want to search for best fares from these airlines websites or elsewhere.
#If you have booked your dosmetic flight or train service online and is booking international flight through your agent, always inform them your domestic flight number, departure time and airport name to ensure your arrival flight has ample of time for immediate connection as there are issue such as any change of airports, immigration clearance to be considered.
