London to Hong Kong is a long-haul UK–Hong Kong route, and nonstop award space shows up on Cathay Pacific.

Flying London to Hong Kong covers about 5,980 miles, linking London Heathrow Airport (LHR) with Hong Kong International Airport (HKG); a nonstop takes roughly 12h30, with winds moving it either way. Nonstop award space in the data comes from a single airline: Cathay Pacific. Aircraft logged on those nonstops include the Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 777-300ER. Nonstops make up only about 4% of the award options in the data; the rest connect.
Settle the cabin before the program: on a long-haul trip like London–Hong Kong, it moves the price most. The economy floor connects once; an economy nonstop on Cathay Pacific costs more. Taxes and fees on the cheapest economy seat run about $357, above the route's typical economy taxes. Premium economy runs about 2.4 times the economy price and business about 3.6 times, though the cheapest business award carries heavy fees. Flexible bank points can reach Virgin Atlantic Flying Club; confirm the space first, since transfers can't be undone.
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club takes economy at 21,000 points. Cathay Pacific Asia Miles is cheapest in premium economy at 50,000 points and first class at 125,000, both on Cathay Pacific nonstops. American AAdvantage wins business class at 75,000 points. The other 11 programs include United MileagePlus, Air Canada Aeroplan, and Air France-KLM Flying Blue. Economy also prices as a partner award, with the long leg on Air France.
Only Cathay Pacific (oneworld) shows nonstop award space between London and Hong Kong in the data; partner programs across oneworld can price it alongside Cathay Pacific Asia Miles. For connecting options, the better-priced awards in the data connect in Paris, Amsterdam, and Seoul. The business-class floor is a oneworld partner award: American AAdvantage prices Finnair seats. In all, 38 airlines show award inventory on the route. That's a deep field, so it pays to price partners before the obvious carrier.
London itineraries can also depart from London City (LCY), Gatwick (LGW), or Stansted (STN), so check the code before moving points. For a lower-cost long-haul trip from London, Atlanta starts from 7,500 points at last check. For a shorter trip from London, Cape Town and Cairo are tracked too.
