Getting to central Hong Kong from Hong Kong International Airport (HKG)

Hong Kong Airport is on an artificial island off Lantau, about 35 km from Central on Hong Kong Island and 30 km from Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon. The Airport Express makes the distance feel much shorter.

• Airport Express (MTR) is the fastest option. Trains reach Kowloon Station in about 21 minutes and Hong Kong Station (Central) in 24 minutes. Services run every 10 minutes from about 5:50 am to 12:48 am. Some airlines offer in-town check-in at Hong Kong and Kowloon stations, letting you drop bags and collect a boarding pass before heading to the airport for your return flight.
• Airbus (A-series routes) run directly from the airport to areas across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories. They are cheaper than the Airport Express and have luggage racks. Journey times vary from 45 to 75 minutes depending on the route and traffic.
• S1 bus to Tung Chung MTR is the budget option. Take the S1 bus to Tung Chung station, then the Tung Chung Line into the city. Slower overall but significantly cheaper than the Airport Express.
• Taxis queue outside arrivals. Red taxis cover Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Allow 35 to 55 minutes to Central or Tsim Sha Tsui depending on traffic.

Buy an Octopus card on arrival. It works on the Airport Express, all buses and the MTR, and is accepted at convenience stores and many restaurants.
