It goes without saying the schedules subject to change, as countries adapt to their COVID-19 responses. In addition, you will need to ensure you can meet entry requirements of counties too (as they are vastly different from pre-COVID travel).

Hong Kong Airport is open for transit too – however, there are strict guidelines to transiting in the territory – and you will not be able to enter Hong Kong unless you meet its residency requirements.
