ya I saw it too. interested in some of the deals. but it ends before I reach Hong Kong. guess I have to start browsing in next month. =)

HK airport only have 2 terminal... are you refering to gate number?

Who have android phone with NFC can use this software to check Octopus balance.

yes..i know...the thing is "airport stop" for MTR is 1 stop only..right?
but i mean that stop is T1 or T2?...cuz i'm not sure abt HK airport...if its like KL or sabah one...T1 and T2 is at different place and needed to transfer to the other terminal/use different transportation
so..abt the airport express and MTR from airport...is there difference? and is it free?

HK Airport Terminal 2 is actually a check in hall without any gates. Terminal 2 is just opposite Terminal 1 and you will have to come up to Terminal 1 to board your plane anyway. You exit via the right door instead of the left for Terminal 2 if you take the Airport express train.

edit: now i understand...airport to tsing yi is HKD60 thn the rest is free...right?

You mean fares for the Airport express? I have never disembarked at Tsing Yi. I think its about HKD 80 for Kowloon station and HKD100 for Hong Kong station. I am not sure about the exact fare because I use the Octopus card since I travel to HK every month. You can buy a return ticket as well. You can even get on the train first and pay when you get off.

i am going from airport to yau ma tei
so it showed me to change in 2 lane
at 1st i thought there are 2 type...1 is airport express and the other is MTR
now only i understand....u will need both...which is airport express to tsing yi thn so on is MTR which is free...only airport express cost HKD60

Where exactly in Yau Ma Tei are you going to? Have a look at Airport Bus No. A21 bus route - might be a more direct option than taking Airport Express + MTR.

There's a screen displaying the name of bus stop, quite easy to take the bus if it does run along your destination.

hmm...i'm really no confident in taking bus in foreign country...even different state also headache.
better take MTR
BTW how much was the bus ride from airport?
i'm actually going to yau ma tei's casa hotel...its just beside the MTR exit

Bus fare HKD 33.

Bus A21, bus stop no 9 - name of bus stop: Man Ming Lane, Nathan Road. From the bus stop, walking distance to Casa Hotel: 3 mins, 240meter (if cross the road thru proper traffic light)

Frankly, I'm not confident to take bus in other states in Malaysia too. BUT, HK buses are ok, coz mostly have screen display of bus stop's name onboard, and there's website to check the route and plan beforehand. Nowadays, can even get mobile app for HK bus.

i searched around..it stopped just across the street of the hotel
i saw it from the hotel's review there
bus also uses octopus right?...just get from airport

Yes, octopus card from the airport - good for bus, MTR, tram, 7-11, movie tickets etc.

If you are considering to take bus instead, you can use Google Map to locate the bus stop and the hotel.

tram also can use huh
but tram planning on buying tix from ding ding that is 1 set with madam tussads
i think bus i think gonna use it to go to the hotel, the other is to ocean park..pretty much thats it..others are MTR
am going with a group of 10 ppl...and i'm the only guide...lol...so have to research everything
for apps, i have the trip advisor HK apps and open rice...but still need recommendation of which restaurant is good as well

For those who never went to Hong Kong, based on my own experience, HK have the best public transports if compare to other country. I not even dare to compare with Malaysia. Japan, UK, France may have the best train (lrt/subway or what ever they call) but HK have all, taxis, bus, ferry, tram, mtr.

If you have android phone, the times table and info can be downloaded to your phone. Search for HK and plenty of software available (which malaysia still lack of this).

I'd suggest to pay cash for the airport bus, one person tell the driver total pax and pay the total bus fare, no need everyone take out octopus card and tap. Afterall, for airport bus, the fare is the same whether cash or octopus.

Every time I take the airport bus, I'd like to pay cash too, coz I find it easier just to drop the exact amount (into the box) and settle my baggage on the rack provided, rather than to tap the octopus card, keep/hold the card then settle the baggage.

The octopus card you can buy at the Yau Ma Tei MTR station later.

Group of 10 ppl, no jokes ah.... no wonder you headache ah...

ya....initially is was 8...4 was me and my family...another 4 is my uncles family....thn recently add another 2 which is my uncle's relative
and none of them knows how to navigate around HK
all rely on me
so 10 ppl is HKD330

Half fare for Children under the age of 12 & Seniors aged 65 or over.

have 3 kids but all above 12 and adult also not yet 65...too far
all considered adult

Just back from HK, rainy on friday, saturday and sunday was windy, perfect for travelling

Previously there is a forumer recommend Golden Wave Hotel, it was clean and the price is reasonable, Mr Chong (owner) is friendly

Regarding the transportation to Airport, it is advisable to take Bus as it is cheaper and much more convenient, 15min waiting time only
