The London to Bangkok routing via Hong Kong has no active disruption zones affecting the airspace right now. The route appears clear for travel, though you should verify current conditions with your airline and official sources before booking.
The catch
Very few backup paths if this route is disrupted
Worth knowing
Monitor conditions over the Middle East and South Asia before departure, as disruptions there can shift routing options. Check for any changes 24–48 hours before your flight.

This Hong Kong routing avoids major warning areas that affect some alternative paths across South and Southeast Asia. It ranks among the better-positioned options on the London–Bangkok corridor at the moment.
Neither leg touches the Middle East advisory zone: London to Hong Kong goes east via Central Asia, Hong Kong to Bangkok goes south via South China Sea — a completely Gulf-free routing.
Hong Kong is one of the world's most resilient hubs. Cathay Pacific has maintained full London service throughout the post-2022 disruption period.
The London to Hong Kong leg relies on the Central Asian corridor — the same structural bottleneck as Istanbul routing, but occurring on the first leg rather than the second.
Total journey is approximately 80 minutes longer than the Istanbul option due to the more easterly routing geometry.
This corridor makes most sense if Gulf escalation drives you to avoid Middle East airspace on both segments, not just one.
