if you dont mind waiting to closer to your date for leave, you can get some great deals at hotel. do this normally for work (go to hong kong a lot) but end up getting free room upgrades, extra nights free etc did this on my last trip and got an upgrade to a suite along with 2 free beers from the mini bar each night. just remember if you dont ask you dont get!
