Airport Express is the quickest way into town! Boarding at HKG is easy as you merely have to jump on the train! After making a couple of stops, the last top is at Hong Kong Central station! Trains are in tip-top shape. There is plenty of room for luggage on the train as well! Seats face either direction so it's best to make sure your seat faces the direction of travel! Payment for the ride is done at Hong Kong station (for those traveling into town). Check out for local specials such as "group" tickets for those traveling in parties of 2 or more! Taxis are readily available on the same level and the street level is one level up for private vehicle pick up!
This is easily the best way to get to and from the airport. It is both faster and cheaper than a taxi. As you exit the arrivals hall, you will see a desk where they sell the tickets. The line was actually very short when we were there. It is only 24 US dollars per person. After that, just walk and follow the signs and you will see the train. The train is very clean, modern, and gets you from the airport to Central area of Hong Kong Island in only 24 minutes! This was simply the best airport to city public transport I have ever encountered in my travels. Everything was perfect.
Like a lot of airport stations this one also has a surcharge. In fact my friend suggested that the bus is actually cheaper, and also dropped me off near my hotel. However, the cool thing about the airport train is that you can actually check your bags in at the station as opposed to lugging them all the way to the airport. The other thing is that it is pretty fast, and also takes you directly to the island. However, as I mentioned, it is somewhat pricey.
We discovered the Airport Express during our recent trip to HK, and it's one of the best findings ever. haha :) So convenient, fast, and efficient if you want to get to your hotel in either Central or Kowloon. For 1 passenger on the Airport Express, it's HKD $90 from Airport to Kowloon. However, if you buy the 2 person pack, it's HKD $140 for 2 one-way tickets. What a sweet deal we got! :) We took the Airport Express subway/tram from the Airport to Kowloon, and it was only a 20-22 minute ride. It drops us off at the Kownloon MTR Station, at which point you can take one of the complimentary airport-hotel shuttles to your hotel in Kowloon. Prices are reasonable, and service was great. The complimentary shuttle drops you off right in front of your hotel, score!
It's awesome that HK have the airport express. From Kowloon station to airport, it's about 20 minutes and cost about $90. They charge you upon checking in your bags. I took Eva air so i get to check In a Day in advance. Makes things easier. The seats are wide and comfy. Thumbs up to the city checkin service!
Hong Kong review #3 Without question, the absolute BEST way to get from Hong Kong International Airport into Hong Kong (or HK to HKIA) is the MTR's Airport Express! It's climate controlled, very clean, reasonably quiet, comfortable, plus it takes just 24 minutes go from the airport to Hong Kong (or HK to the AP)! Once it departs, there are only 3 stops, Tsing Yi, Kowloon, then Hong Kong and there's a nifty "progress light" so you know at a glance how far along you are. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/%E6%A9%9F%E5%A0%B4%E5%BF%AB%E7%B6%AB-%E9%A6%99%E6%B8%AF?select=b8zZzC2qQ_dQetUJKugFFQ Cost? Pretty reasonable! You can buy one way ticket for HK$100 (US$12.90) or round trip for HK$180 (US$23.20 - 30 days to use). If you're staying in Hong Kong a few days or longer, it might be better to get an Octopus Card. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/%E6%A9%9F%E5%A0%B4%E5%BF%AB%E7%B6%AB-%E9%A6%99%E6%B8%AF?select=xCydBZUO5EKtPati2DJeVA This is an electronic stored value smart card. You just "wave" it over the reader and the fare is automatically deducted for the MTR, Airport Express, Light Rail, Buses and Ferries, plus some vending machines and more, it's very easy! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/%E6%A9%9F%E5%A0%B4%E5%BF%AB%E7%B6%AB-%E9%A6%99%E6%B8%AF?select=T_zKMSjFhaBirvV4Bcco0Q OVERALL: The Airport Express is the fastest and easiest way to go to and from HKIA! I just wish Los Angeles had something like this at LAX!
So far so many years, I find this is the most reliable public transportation commuting between Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the airport. The passenger's cabins are always clean and well maintained, quiet and comfortable. The train runs every several minutes. The fare is reasonable. If you want to pay even cheaper, buy your tickets ahead of time online at the airport express official website, from travel agents or apps, like Klook.
I now have the routine down pat, and I have to say: getting to HKG airport isn't at all bad! It starts with a quick taxi ride from my flat in Happy Valley to the Hong Kong MTR station ($38-$50 HKD depending on traffic). Because you're dropped off right in front, it's a quick walk to the airline check-in counters where you can drop your luggage and obtain your boarding pass before catching an Airport Express train to the airport. How cool is that - no more dealing with cumbersome suitcases starting at the Airport Express origin point! And the boarding pass means you go straight to security once you arrive at the terminal. The ride itself (a smooth 24 minutes) is thoroughly enjoyable as there's some nice scenery and there are also outlets for charging your mobile device. I usually purchase a roundtrip ticket online for $180 HKD, though I wish they'd allow you to print a ticket with barcode at home. My only criticism of the Airport Express is standing in the line to collect your ticket once you arrive at the Hong Kong MTR station. It usually moves pretty quickly, but really wish they'd eliminate that step. You can purchase your ticket directly from a kiosk (there's rarely a line there), but you can't use your credit card at those machines. Overall, I feel very lucky to have such an efficient and cost-effective way to access the airport. I truly believe that the travel experience begins with your transport to the airport, and I like mine to be as stress-free as possible. Trust!
The Airport Express is my jam! Getting to and from Hong Kong island has never been easier. At the airport, you have various opportunities to buy tickets: right before you leave baggage claim, after you leave baggage claim, and at ticket machines near the trains. At the time of this review, it costs about $180 HK roundtrip from the airport to Hong Kong Central. Hop on the train, and 24 minutes and 3 stops later you're in town!* There is supposedly free wifi on the platform and I believe on the train as well, but I've never been able to access it. I'm not sure if you have to have a HK sim card/service provider, or if I'm just an idiot who doesn't know how to find free wifi. During transit, I think the train goes underwater at some point, because my sensitive ears can feel the pressure and they occasionally pop. Usually this happens when we're approaching Tsing Yi station, and in between Tsing Yi and Kowloon. I thought there were some decent views to be had when you leave Tsing Yi station going to Kowloon, so have your camera out if you're interested! If you're going towards HK Island and facing forward, I think the views are better on the left side of the train. Going back to the airport is seamless as well; and with the ability to check in your luggage in town, it makes the return trip a ton easier.** Have a pleasant journey and enjoy Hong Kong! -- *That is, if you hop on at HKIA. The first stop on this line is actually Asia-World Expo. **I wish they had that service in NYC!
Maybe I'm utterly biased but the public transportation here in Hong Kong is so good you would never need a car. Used to be a fan of the bus routes from downtown to the airport. It usually took an hour. A pretty decent ride, given the scenery (the Tsing Ma Bridge, for instance), and usually with emptied seats and quite, sleeping passengers. But Airport Express is a different beast. 24 minutes, you go from the airport to Hong Kong station, which is essentially the heart of Central. Twenty-four minutes. Combined with one of the most efficient airports in the world, it was a true demonstration of the "Hong Kong efficiency". The downtown check-in is genius too, and since you can check-in within 24 hours before departure, there were occasions where I checked during lunch time (when I worked at IFC), or had my colleague checking in the night before, pulling a all-nighter at LKF, and taking the Airport Express in the morning directly to the airport. The trains arrive to the station every 10mins, but since they stay at the platform for 3 - 4mins, so you don't really feel like waiting for a long time on the platform, if you ever miss the last train. One thing that definitely deducted a star was the depreciation of the seats. While the airport is just as new, you can easily see the seats on Airport Express worn out a lot. Time for some polishing.
Getting to/from an airport should be quick, convenient, and inexpensive. The Airport Express fits the bill. Taking just 24 minutes with stops in Tsing Yi, Kowloon, and finally Hong Kong, the train costs just $100 HKD (compared to £21.50 GBP to ride the Heathrow Express). The Hong Kong station connects to the Central station so you have access to all the subway stops on the island. It really is that easy. On the way back to the airport, you can check in and drop off your bags at the Hong Kong station before getting onto the airport express. Again, super easy. The ride itself is pretty uneventful, the upholstery in the train cars is a little worn, and the TVs in the cars don't seem to work, but it's still a first class system.
When this first opened, I thought nobody would take it. It's $100 HKD, which is about $13 USD - not expensive, but the buses are cheaper (about $39 HKD). Last Sunday, not only did many people take the Airport Express, but it was standing room only! The In-Town Check-In system allows anyone to check in from Central (and other locations) as long as they use their Octopus Card to take the Airport Express afterwards. This convenience has enticed even this penny-pincher to take the Airport Express. Getting to the Airport from Central in 24 minutes is certainly a plus. Saving time is worth a lot of money in Hong Kong. I am glad that I was able to put all four of my check in luggage items within 24 hours of my flight, hang out in Central with a bunch of buddies before heading to the airport for my evening flight. New York City has much to learn from Hong Kong. *Sigh*, at this rate, we'll probably never catch up.
Hong Kong International Airport, Seoul Incheon, Shanghai International Airport, Narita and other jurisdictions in Asia have state of the art airport shuttles. They're clean, on time and extremely safe. And they're VERY FAST! A Hong Kong International Airport gem, is this reliable and convenient train service to Tsing Yi, Kowloon and Central. read more
The AirPort Express is super convenient and reliable to commute between city and the airport, which only takes 24 minutes. It costs about HKD 110 one way, and you can pay per ride or get octopus prepaid card instead. read more
Super easy and efficient way to get in/ out of HKG without worrying about the HK traffic... especially if you're going to HK Island. Download or use the KLOOK APP to purchase RT tickets for bigger savings! KLOOK will give you convenient, ticketless QR code and round trip to / from HK Station (Centra) is only 135HKD (about $17USD)! Train is always clean and fast. Super easy way to get in and out of HKG! Also, don't forget their Central early check in/ luggage service! If you have a later flight, send your luggage to the airport first, explore, eat & play, THEN make your way to HKG. Super! Super! Super! Love HKG and its MTR Airport Express! read more

Klook is the best application / service that can give you discounted tickets to/ from Hong Kong International airport. It takes you to / from Tsing Yi station, Kowloon station and Hong Kong station to / from the Hong Kong International airport in just about 24 minutes literally!! Its extremely easy to use and super convenient as it gets you a mobile e-ticket that has a QR code that you just need to scan at the gate to allow you to enter/ exit.. just make sure that you increase your mobile screen brightness to the highest before you scan the QR code. Love this! Try it and you will never travel without Klook!! read more
Hong Kong's Airport Express is the epitome of any major international airport transport! Despite the huge distance between HKIA at Chek Lap Kok and the main downtown Central district, AE transits passengers between the two places in 23 minutes with 15-minute frequency! To give you a prospective how fast that is, a taxi ride would easily take about more than an hour thanks to the notorious city traffic. Fast express train usually means high fare, which is somewhat true for AE as well. However, the amenities and even the discounts make this train an even more attractive choice! If you use your Octopus Card to access AE, you can use the same Card for free MTR transfer. If MTR isn't convenient, Kowloon and HK Stations offer free shuttle buses to ship you to well-known hotels. But my favorite amenity has to be the in-town check-in: both Kowloon and HK Station have essentially the airport-style check-in hall where you can get your boarding pass and even check in your luggage even much before you hop on an AE train! Forget left luggage, because you just have to check-in to your flight away and your luggage is out of your sight until you arrive at your destination! Even if you do not plan to take advantage of these amenities, the group discount is definitely worth looking into! The highest one-way fare is $100 HKD (HK-HKIA) but if you travel in a group of at least 2, the group discount will reduce to as low as $70 HKD per person. But here's the bad news: AE may not be as useful if you are staying in Kowloon, especially along the Tsuan Wan line aka Nathan Road. Unless your hotel is covered by the free shuttle, you must transfer at least twice from AE, significantly reducing the speed advantage. The A-class airport bus may be a better option. Nonetheless, if you are staying in the HK area or want a quick peek of HK during a layover, you cannot go wrong with Airport Express! It's fast, reliable, and - when considering amenities and group discount - cheap. Especially with the in-town check-in and 23-minute ride at 15-minute frequency, this is by far the world's best airport transport I have experienced! If only more cities particularly in the US has anything that resembles this... --- tl;dr version: 1) Best airport transport that is fast and reliable 2) Lots of amenities especially the in-town check-in 3) Take advantage of group discount if traveling in 2 or more 4) Useful for HK island but not so in Kowloon read more
