Roughly 4,590 miles separate Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) and Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), so a nonstop spends about 9h45 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. Three airlines carry nonstop award space in the data, including Qantas Airways and Cathay Pacific. The Airbus A330-300 and Airbus A350-900 both appear on those nonstop award segments. Nonstops make up only about 4% of the award options in the data; the rest connect.
The cabin call comes first on Sydney–Hong Kong; on a long-haul trip, the right program follows from it. The cheapest economy seat is a partner award on a Qantas Airways nonstop, so the lowest price is also the quickest trip. Expect about $132 in taxes and fees on top, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. The middle step, premium economy, costs about 1.4 times economy; business costs about 1.6 times. Flexible bank points can reach Air France-KLM Flying Blue; confirm the space first, since transfers can't be undone.
Air France-KLM Flying Blue takes economy at 25,000 points on a Qantas Airways nonstop. American AAdvantage is cheapest in premium economy at 35,000 points and business class at 40,000. Among the remaining eight programs, Air Canada Aeroplan, United MileagePlus, and Alaska Atmos Rewards are good places to cross-check. Business class is also priced as a partner award, so the miles and the metal come from different airlines.
Nonstop award space on Sydney–Hong Kong includes Qantas Airways and Cathay Pacific, among other carriers in the data. If you're open to a stop, the better-priced connecting awards in the data run through Singapore. In premium economy, the floor sits on British Airways, booked through oneworld partner American AAdvantage.
Neither Sydney nor Hong Kong shows a same-metro alternate airport in the data, so the main airports are the ones to watch. Sydney to Bangkok prices the same, from 25,000 points at last check. For a shorter trip from Sydney, Bali (Denpasar) and Honolulu are tracked too.
