The
Hong Kong Airport Express may not be the least expensive way to travel
to and from Hong Kong Airport but it is definitely one of the most
convenient.
The
Airport express runs on 12 minute intervals between 05:50 and 01:15, and
stops at three stations other than the airport - Tsing Yi, Kowloon and
Central.
A
one way ticket on the Airport Express is HK$ 100 for travel between
Central and the airport, HK$ 90 between Kowloon station and the airport
and HK$ 60 from Tsing Yi to the airport. Round trip tickets which are
valid for a one month period are also available at slightly cheaper
rates. Children between the ages of 3 and 11 travel for half those
fares. The journey takes roughly 25 minutes either way.
What
makes the Airport Express so convenient is the check in counters at both
Kowloon and Central stations where travellers can check in their luggage
and claim their boarding pass from one day in advance up to 90 minutes
before departure. Unfortunately for passengers travelling to the United
States this service has been suspended on many airlines, due to security
measures, and we advise you to check with your airline for any change.
Free
in-town check-in service is available for all major airlines at Hong Kong and Kowloon stations except:
Air Philippines
Angel Air
Continental Airlines
Continental Micronesia
Orient Thai
Pakistan International
Transaero
Turkish Airlines
Passengers
must use the Octopus Card or purchase a ticket to ride on the Airport
Express before check-in.
The following airlines allow check-in one day prior to departure:
Aeroflot
Cathay Pacific Airways
China Airlines
Dragonair
Mandarin Airlines
Qantas Airways
Singapore Airlines
South African Airlines
Swiss International Air Line
Thai Airways International
Vietnam Airlines
The
service hours are from 5:30am to 11:00pm but it is worth checking with
your airline as some airlines may operate the service subject to their flight
schedules.
For
travellers staying in major hotels around Kowloon or Hong Kong Island
there are also complimentary bus services that run direct from the
hotels to the closest Airport Express station. Check our guide to
the Hong
Kong Airport Express Free Bus Service to see if your hotel is
listed.
Finally,
the Airport Express offers you a comfortable and fast ride with in-seat
entertainment and is one of the easiest ways to get into central Hong
Kong. For a less expensive, and equally enjoyable, way to travel to and
from the airport see: Hong
Kong Airport Bus.
