Do we really need to buy the Airport Express Travel Pass? Using the normal MTR should be fine right?

If you wanna travel from HK airport to any of the MTR station, you need to buy Airport Express tix (price from HKD60 to HKD100, depending on which MRT station do u wanna stop at.)

Unless you wanna take their bus from HK airport, then I guess its not recommended to buy Airport Express Travel Pass.

In my opinion, Airport Express Travel Pass is only worth it if you plan to travel to many places in a day. (That's what I plan to do)

Is there any different between the Airport Express Ticket & Octopus Card?
Should I buy the round trip of Airport Express Ticket & Octopus card? Or I purchase the Octopus card will do?

Let me rephrase my question. MTR doesn't arrive the Hong Kong Airport?
Got my answer. Hong Kong Airport doesn't has MTR, but Airport Express. Now I understand. blush.gif

Hi,

I have yet to start my itinerary but I have some of the idea where to go. Not sure should I go Macau first or put it last?

Here is my plan and my initial place to visit. Not really into heavy shopping but more into visiting and food.

20/04/2012 - Friday
6:15am: Arrive Hong Kong International Airport
* Proceed to Macau
* Overnight in Macau. Or should I not even overnight in Macau since one full day over there.

21/04/2012 - Saturday
* Back to Hong Kong
* High percentage staying in Golden Wave Hotel
Avenue of Stars
Clock Tower
Madame Tussauds

22/04/2012 - Sunday
Ocean Park
Peak Tram

23/04-2012 - Monday
Disneyland

24/04/2012 - Tuesday
8:30pm: Flight back to Malaysia

Would fine-tune from time to time since I have plenty of time? blush.gif

Peak Tram and Madame Tussauds is at the same place. Might wanna shift that to Saturday. Cause Sunday is weekend so expect loads of visitors at Ocean Park.

Noted with thanks.
I am still cracking my head whether should I overnight in Macau? What's your opinion and suggestion?
It would be 1 full day in Macau for me. smile.gif

It depends what you wanna do in Macau. Of coz if you think that you are going to sound a lot of times in the casino then I would suggest you ton stay one nite there smile.gif

During my trip I arrived in Macau straight therefore I stayed 1 nite there. Only go to hk the next morning smile.gif

Visiting, makan drool.gif
I don't gamble but I would like to visit the casino.

May I know why you stay overnight there? What's the main reason?

QUOTE(XiuKeong @ Nov 29 2011, 06:17 PM)
Maybe you can complete it in a day since you'll be arriving early in the morning hmm.gif

hmm.gif Ok, will heed your advice.

If I not going to overnight in Macau for the 1st day (Friday), should I opt to go to Ocean Park on the first day?

Those attractions better to go during weekdays. Maybe Friday go Ocean Park and Monday go Disneyland. Weekend Macau/Peak Tram perhaps.

Ok. Will re-arrange the itinerary

QUOTE(yiyibrowers @ Nov 29 2011, 08:06 PM)
Don't go Disneyland for weekend as I went Disneyland on Monday also I queue quite long average is around 30mins also the queue to take photo with characters is like more than 30mins. So it advisable to go on weekdays instead of weekend if not you may need to queue for an hours more and will missed a lot of attractions.

Guys, can do a review on my updated itinerary?

* Proceed to Yau Ma Tei – Casa Hotel

Ocean Park
Temple Street Night Market

Avenue of Stars
Clock Tower
Peak Tram + Sky Terrance 428
Madame Tussauds
Symphony of Light

22/04/2012 - Sunday
Macau

23/04-2012 - Monday
Disneyland

24/04/2012 – Tuesday
Ngong Ping 360
Citygate Outlets
8:30pm: Flight back to Singapore
Would appreciate if able to assist to check on these 2 date. 21/04(Sat) & 24/04 (Tues), the 21/04 seems a bit too boring in the day time, as I believe the visit would not take the more than half day? Is it better for me to put Ngong Ping 360 & Citygate Outlets on Saturday? Then again, what should I do on 24/04? I have more than half day. Inserting Avenue of Stars & Clock Tower would would take not more than 3 hours right?

Citygate probably will take around 2-3 hours considering if normal shopping.
NP360 half day can be done.

If you want to watch SoL, better watch at Avenue of Stars because there's music. If you watch at The Peak, you only can see the lighting.

If you have plenty of spare time, do some HK exploration on their food brows.gif

Noted. Then I shall move the citygate and NP360 to Tuesday then.

Noted on the SOL. I plan to move it to 1st day or 4th day.
