Hong Kong is home to several great kosher restaurants and shuls. Mul Hayam restaurant, located next to the Kehilat Zion shul in the Kowloon section of Hong Kong, is excellent. The JCC located on Hong Kong Island has very good dairy and meat restaurants as well as an awesome Sunday night all you can eat buffet, just don’t forget to bring your passport to get in! Chabad of Lantau also offers meals with delivery options.
We spent a Shabbos with Chabad of Hong Kong Island where the food was excellent and the atmosphere is awesome. People have rave reviews about Shabbos at Kehilat Zion as well.
After Shabbos we moved the W in Kowloon, which is one of my favorite SPG hotels in the world. We got an amazing upgrade and there’s a very cool rooftop infinity pool and hot tub. Plus the bellhop picked up our bags from our room and checked them straight home to Cleveland without us ever having to touch them thanks to the airport express station located in the W’s basement.
There are lots of other great hotels where you can spend your points at as well.
Most hotels even give you a free cell phone to use while in Hong Kong.
Americans do not need a visa to travel to Seoul, Hong Kong, or to take the ferry from Hong Kong to nearby Macau.

no major savings you could always get for 650 bucks. still a good deal but dont run and book just because of this price.
Hi Dan
do you know of any way to upgrade this flight to business?
Dan, I second the request for C Class. Took this flight in Nov. C was fabulous on the A380. It made the 5 hour layover on the return manageable.
I have been noticing major sales this winter to all of Asia in the $500-600 range. Some that I have come across in march were flights to bali Saigon singapore Beijing and more in that price range
Just checked Asiana’s website. Business is on sale also for $3,500 RT. That’s very cheap considering that you don’t have to use points or a copay.
I have a credit with delta
Any deals delta from east coast to Japan?
What other countries are nice and safe?
Weather wise good destinations for May?
