Knowing the distance and flight time helps travellers plan better and arrive refreshed for sightseeing, business, or family visits.

Hong Kong is usually 15 to 16 hours ahead of California, so when it’s morning or afternoon in California, it’s already late at night or early the next day in Hong Kong. California changes its clocks for daylight saving, but Hong Kong stays on the same time all year (HKT, UTC+8). This time difference doesn’t change how long your flight takes, but it can make your arrival time on the ticket seem unusual. Keeping the time difference in mind helps you plan activities during the flight and after you land. 

To get better flight deals, book 3–6 months in advance, stay flexible with travel dates, and consider midweek flights or early-morning/late-night departures.
