- Moisy9944 contributionsConvenient and effecient transport from the airport to the cityThe quickest and most convenient way to travel between the airport and city. The journey takes around 25 minutes and cost approx HKD 100 with an Octopus card. The carriages are modern, clean, spacious with air conditioning and plenty of luggage storage. There is also free wifi on board, and access to power charging outlets. From the city I took a taxi to the hotel in Wan Chai, this cost HKD 40.Visited April 2023Written 21 April 2023
- TravelTrips12Sydney, Australia382 contributionsConvienient express service to the airportParticularly from Hong Kong station, this is a fast and convenient way of getting to the airport - and at a fair price. The service was fairly frequent, and most importantly, still operated during the T8 typhoon signal. Seats were comfortable, the ride was quiet, and there was plenty of space to stow luggage for the short trip.Visited September 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 28 October 2023

So quick and easy getting from the airport into the city. Trains are almost immediately there after you walk through passport control/baggage claim. Good wifi on the train

We bought tickets from klook and it was scanned directly to get on the train. We did not wait much and there were barely any people so it was a pretty comfortable and fast ride.

I bought a viator return ticket operated by GlobalTix (HongKong). The ticket number is 1075319107 dated for use yesterday 17 Oct. When I went to the airport express ticket counter, they not only did not honor the ticket, they indicated never having seen such a voucher. I had both paper and electronic versions available. I believe, therefore that this is a complete fraud and my deposit should be refunded.

The quickest way to get from HK airport to Kowloon or downtown Hong Kong. Clean and efficient runs about every 5 minutes.

The quickest way to the city, not the cheapest. If time is not an issue, I prefer the Airport Express. But this is great. smooth and efficient and frequent.

The airport express is indeed fast, but it's rather dirty inside, especially by Hong Kong standards. Taking an airport bus, as I've done numerous times before, is a better bet and much cheaper.

I bought a HKD350 Airport Express/MTR Unlimited Pass for 3 days which I planned to use on all MTR and Bus routes. The card does not work on Buses and I have had to pay cash each time. Please advise whether this card should work on Buses and if so why this problem persists ?

The airport express bus did not charge extra for taking me from the train station to my hotel. But I don’t think regular buses are within the coverage of airport express.

Hello, I was wondering if you recently traveled to Hong Kong. We are looking to use the AE to get to Causeway bay, but saw that protests currently may hinder the use of the AE. We are traveling with a young child and would appreciate any advice. Thank you

I travel frequently in and out of Hong Kong and always use AE. There have been times when the train will only run from HK Island direct to Airport . I will be using this Sunday 12 Jan when i arrive

Hi, does the airport express stop at Fortress Hill or is it only airport to Kowloon with no stops in between?
barneychurchhk

Agree with previous two comments , just check that during protests ( particularly Sundays ) that the AE will not only run HK to Airport which has happened in the past

We hebben nog geen QR code ontvangen voor de AirPortExpress (en zijn binnen 48 uur daar) , alleen de streepjescode op het toegestuurde ticket. Op het telefoonnummer op de ticket krijg ik geen gehoor. En nu?

Don't know for certain as I have always purchased my ticket after exiting the Arrivals Hall. But there is a service desk just before boarding the train; I suspect they'll be able to help you sort this out. It's your best option at this point.
