| Transportation
to and from the airport |
Many
options are available in Hong Kong,
rail, bus, ferry and taxi. The high-speed
Airport rail service takes passengers
to Hong Kong Station in Central, via
Tsing Yi and Kowloon, about 23 minutes.
The one-way adult fare from the airport
to Hong Kong Island is HK$100. Trains
run every 12 minutes from 5:50am-1:15am
daily. There are more
than 30 bus routes from the airport,
including nine Airbus services that
have fewer stops than conventional
buses. Airbus fares range between
HK$14 and HK$45. Ferry links between
Chek Lap Kok Pier and Tuen Mun Pier
in the New Territories run from 6am-11pm
daily. Taxis to almost anywhere in
Hong Kong are available from the taxi
pickup area. A typical journey between
the airport and Central costs about
HK$340.

| Airport
Tax |
Passengers
12 years old and above must pay an Air
Passenger Departure Tax of HK$120 (which
is normally included in the price of
the ticket). If you arrive and depart
Hong Kong within the same day you are
exempted from paying this tax. An additional
HK$13 Airport Security Surcharge will
be collected from passengers departing
Hong Kong International Airport. This
is in addition to the existing HK$20
security charge already collected will
bring the total security charge paid
by passengers to HK$33. |
