There are some great open jaw flights with Air China, and I’ve put together a great trip that allows you to see Hong Kong and China. The journey starts in Stockholm where you will fly to Hong Kong (short change in Beijing) and then return Hong Kong to Beijing, where you don’t need a Visa for 72 hours, this allows you a few days in Beijing before your flight back to London. Included in this price is a one way journey from London to Stockholm, however you have the ideal chance to do this trip a few days before and have a couple of nights in Stockholm - see the Stockholm yacht deal for some inspiration.
Example below:
13th March
Fly from UK to Stockholm, then on to Hong Kong, arriving in Hong Kong on 14th March. 6 Nights in the No1 Tripadvisor rated Yesinn - Causeway Bay which is in a great location in Hong Kong. You are in a private room for 2 with private bathroom. There are plenty of accommodation choices, cheaper and more expensive so you can adjust accordingly.
20th March-23rd March
Fly with Air China from Hong Kong to Beijing for 3 Nights in Beijing at the No20 Tripadvisor rated Michael’s House. In Beijing it is so easy to get about using the metro system, and again, lots of hotel choices. If you want longer in China, you can adjust flights accordingly but remember a visa! I did this in Manchester and the process is easy enough, but they scrutinized our itinerary and travel plans. If you want any specific advice, I can try and help as I was there for 3 weeks in February for Chinese New Year (bonkers)!
Breakdown:
London – Stockholm Arlanda £98/£49pp @ Norwegian Air
Long Haul Flights £208.55pp/£417.10 @ Edreams
6 Nights in Hong Kong £297 @ booking.com (4% TCB)
3 Nights in Beijing £123.75 @ Agoda (6% TCB)
Total £935.85/£467.92pp
I’ve not included transfers for either Hong Kong or Beijing, the public transport system in Beijing is amazing and taxis cheap. I can’t comment for Hong Kong, but again, public transport should be easy and cheap enough to get you from the airport.
This is my deal and itinerary and not to be copied by any thieving pirates looking to replicate similar deals... you had your chance and lost me!

This is a pic I took from the view at night at Victoria Peak (apologies for poor quality phone camera):
Stunning views, the pictures really don't do it justice.

For Causeway Bay the CityFlyer express double deck coaches to and from the airport are a bargain and get closer to the hotels than the train.

Buy a Octopus Card (like Oyster in London) in airport and BUS to Kowloon MUCH cheaper. Goes right down Nathan road. (Past Chung King!!!)

Excellent deal! As Hostels go Yesinn is very nice in HK and location is great. You're putting this open jaw flight to great use, good work!

I can't say, I've never been but would like to. You could always use the train to explore.
There is plenty of open jaw options for a little more.

Not a chance.
So much to do and see. The food is unbelievably good and almost everyone speaks English as a second language.
It really is where the East meets the West.
There is a major difference between Hong Kongers and the mainland Chinese. Manners being a big difference. Watch the mainlanders on the MTR with their illegal bulk buying and you'll see what I mean.

Beware edreams have hidden charges which you only become aware of when they charge your card

I've used them in the past and it's been OK, but I think Opodo were the next cheapest about £222 or £249 with Air China direct.
