Royal Air is launching daily direct flights between Clark, Pampanga and Hong Kong starting October 8. The airline recently announced that it will resume this route on board an Airbus A320-A319 aircraft. 

Only one Royal Air Flight will arrive and depart from Clark International Airport daily for now. Here's the schedule of Royal Air direct flights to Hong Kong International Airport:

• Hong Kong to Clark (RW659)
  ETD from Hong Kong: 8:15 p.m.

In terms of price, when we initially searched for flights for this route on Royal Air's Website, we found that the average flight cost runs from P2,160 to as high as P3,660, excluding fees and surcharges.

However, Royal Air occasionally holds seat sales, which could bring the cost of flights down as low as HKD 10 or roughly P72 one-way. 

Who is Royal Air?

Royal Air started back in 2002 as a chartered flight service but has gone commercial in 2018. They offer limited domestic and international flights from Manila, Cebu, Davao, and now, Clark. The airline caters mostly to travelers from China and the Philippines.

Other airlines that fly direct to Hong Kong from Clark International Airport :

Aside from Royal Air, other airlines fly directly from the Philippines to the region. If you're heading that way, you might also want to consider booking direct flights to Hong Kong International Airport via Cebu Pacific Air. Flights from other airlines may also be available but would require additional stops in certain destinations.
