Accor just announced a flash sale that covers nearly all corners of Greater China and beyond—think mainland cities like Shanghai and Chengdu, coastal escapes in Macau, and quick airport stays in Hong Kong or Taipei. For four days only, you can save up to 50% at participating hotels across the region.

The travel window runs from April 24 through August 31, 2025, making this ideal for summer trips, long layovers, or even a last-minute splurge on your next Asia rotation. Whether you're dreaming of soup dumplings, skyline views, or a post-flight recovery day near HKG, this is a great offer to take advantage of.

Hurry, you must book by April 27.

As with most flash sales, blackout dates and restrictions may apply. Availability varies by hotel, and some require a two-night minimum stay.

What This Means for Airline Staff

While not an exclusive airline staff rate, this flash sale offers savings steep enough to tempt even the most seasoned standby flyer. If you’ve got flexibility, this is a great opportunity to turn a quick few days off into a low-cost adventure—or build a repositioning trip around a half-price hotel stay.

We recommend:

  • Pullman Shanghai Jing’an – near SHA and PVG, perfect for city escapes

  • Sofitel Macau at Ponte 16 – Old Macau charm just steps from the action

  • Novotel Taipei Taoyuan Airport – reliable, stylish, and super close to TPE

Bonus tip: Accor’s airline staff rates are available year-round, but this flash sale often beats them—especially at premium brands like Sofitel and Pullman.
