The Hong Kong International Airport is located on this island, far from the city center.

So how do you get from here to here easily?

In this video, we'll show you just that. So don't go anywhere!

Hey there, Port Traveler! We are Vince and Yosh.

Welcome to our Hong Kong Airport Transfer Guide.

But before we begin, don't forget to subscribe to this channel and ring the bell beside it too

so you're notified whenever we have new uploads.

If you're watching this on Facebook, we're on the road to 1 million followers.

So please like and follow this page as well.

Okay, let's start with a quick geography lesson.

Hong Kong is composed of this peninsula and 200 plus outlying islands.

It looks complicated.

But don't worry, these are well connected.

The Hong Kong International Airport is right here, on reclaimed land on Chek Lap Kok Island, next to Lantau Island.

It's pretty detached from the city proper, which has two sides.

Central on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, which is on the mainland.

Kowloon is where you'll find Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok.

We've already covered how to get to these areas in our previous video.

So if your hotel is located here, you can go to this area.

And if your hotel is located there, go and check it out instead.

We'll also put the link to it in the description and pinned comment.

But if your destination is on the other side of Victoria Harbour, keep on watching.

This is Hong Kong Island.

Its northern edge is considered the Hong Kong's central business district.

Especially these areas surrounding the central station.

But nearby areas are often clumped together with it.

Like Admiralty and Xiong Wan.

Both in the central area. But nearby areas are often clumped together with it. Like Admiralty and Xiong Wan.

Both in the central area. But nearby areas are often clumped together with it.

Both in the central area. But nearby areas are often clumped together with it.

Both in the central and western district.

Also easily accessible from central are Wan Chai, which is right here.

And this part is Causeway Bay.

All these areas are very modern and highly developed.

But in between skyscrapers, you'll find a diverse selection of lodging, dining, and shopping establishments.

Making it one of the most, if not the most, ideal places to stay in all of Hong Kong.

By the way, if you don't have a hotel yet,

consider booking one with Klook.

It's so easy and convenient to use Klook because the prices displayed already include taxes.

And if you want to score big discounts, just click the link in the description or pinned comment

and use our promo code, ThePoorTraveler.

That will give you 5% off, capped at 350 pesos.

Anyway, the good news is, Central is directly connected to the airport both by bus and by train.

Let's take a look at the train first.

The airport express is the fastest and easiest way to reach Hong Kong Central.

It only takes 32 minutes.

The first thing you should do is buy an airport express ticket in advance.

Although it is possible to buy on the spot, tickets are much cheaper if you book online.

Especially on Klook.

Take a look at this.

As you can see, you'll end up saving a lot if you book around Klook.

You'll save a lot if you book a roundtrip ticket instead of two one-way tickets.

And you'll also save more if you purchase from Klook as much as 20 Hong Kong Dollars.

And as always, it can still get lower because you can also use our exclusive promo code, ThePoorTraveler, as you check out.

Again, you'll find the links in the description and pinned comment.

Once you arrive at Hong Kong airport, follow these steps.

Find the airport express station.

It should be easy because it's located right beside the arrival hall.

Once you emerge from the baggage area, you'll see it right away.

If you book online, you can scan the QR code as you enter the gates.

Board the train.

There's plenty of luggage storage space on every car.

Find your seat and relax.

The airport express has only three stops other than the airport.

And if you're central bound, your stop is Hong Kong station,

which is located right here.

You'll get there in only 32 minutes.

A light at Hong Kong station.

If your hotel is close to Hong Kong station or central station,

you can get out of the station and travel on foot.

But if it's closer to another station, say,

Xiong Wan, Admiralty, Wan Chai, or Causeway Bay,

you'll have to walk for 7 to 10 minutes to central station and transfer to the MTR island line.

It's kind of a long walk, but don't worry.

It's all indoors and on flat ground.

Once at central station, board the train.

A light at the station closest to your final destination.

That's it.

Walk to your hotel, check in, and enjoy Hong Kong.

But while the airport express is the fastest way,

if you're on a budget, there is a more affordable option.

Bus

The bus is the cheapest way to get to central,

and it's also quite convenient.

But for a hassle-free journey,

there are things you need to do first before your trip.

First, you might want to consider getting an Octopus Card,

which can make your journey much easier.

An Octopus Card is a prepaid reloadable card that you can use for MTR and bus rides

and even purchases at select stores.

It will allow you to skip buying tickets each time you're taking the MTR

or scramble for coins when taking the bus.

All you need to do is tap the card above the reader and you're through.

You can get an Octopus Card from Kluk.

It costs 97 Hong Kong Dollars or 695 Pesos.

But it already comes with 50 Hong Kong Dollars load that you can use right away.

You can pick it up at the airport's arrival hall.

In our case, we claim our Octopus Card at this card.

We also recommend that you purchase a data sim on Kluk and pick it up at the airport.

A data sim will make navigating much easier so you're sure you're getting off the right stop.

To reserve an Octopus Card and or a data sim card,

follow the link in the description and pinned comment.

Don't forget to use the promo code THEPORETRAVELER for extra discount.

And then, find out the closest bus stop to your hotel.

But it's very likely that the bus for you will be the bus stop.

The bus stop for you is Bus A11.

After claiming your luggage at the carousel, you'll emerge into the arrival hall, right?

Pick up your Octopus Card and SIM card at the right counter and then follow the bus signs outside.

Head to your right or follow the bus signs to the airport ground transportation center,

which is right in front of the airport building.

It's located outside and it looks like this.

Now, check the signs and look for the A11 bus stop.

There's usually a queue because it's a very popular area.

Wait for the A11 bus.

Airport buses are double-deckers.

They also display the route or bus number in front, so make sure you're boarding the right bus.

When it's time to board, prepare your Octopus Card and tap it or hover it above the card reader,

installed just by the entrance door of the bus.

If you decide to not get an Octopus Card, you can pay by cash,

but make sure you have the exact amount because they don't give change.

The fare is 41.90 HKD, regardless of which area in Central you'll get off at.

Upon boarding, you'll immediately see this baggage section, where you could leave your suitcase.

There's also a few seats here, but if none is available, just climb to the top deck.

Don't worry, there are cameras here pointed at the baggage area,

so you could still keep an eye out.

Alight at your stop.

Travel time is 50 to 70 minutes, depending on where you are alighting and the traffic situation at the time.

On our last trip, we booked a room at iClub Xiong Wan with Klook.

It's located in the Xiong Wan district, close to Central.

We totally loved our stay here because the room was squeaky clean

and it's surrounded by budget-friendly but delicious restaurants.

It's also clean.

It's also close to the MTR Xiong Wan station and the bus stop.

We got off at Macau Ferry Conot Road bus stop,

used this elevator and overpass to cross the main road,

and continued our short walk to our hotel.

The A11 bus is available from 5.35 AM to 12.30 around midnight.

But if your flight is scheduled to arrive in Hong Kong in the wee hours,

take the N11 bus instead,

which operates from 1.50 AM until 4.50 AM.

It's easy to return to the airport central.

Whether you took the bus or the train, all you have to do is trace your steps back.

If you wish to take the airport express,

just make your way to Hong Kong station and catch the airport express back to the airport.

If by bus,

just remember to wait for and board the bus on the other side of the road,

not on the same side where you got off.

It's really a close call.

The airport express is super fast but the bus is much cheaper.

For me,

it depends on whether your hotel or final destination is closer to a train station or a bus stop.

If your hotel is within speeding distance from Hong Kong station

or any station along the island line,

then choose the train.

If a bus stop is closer,

then it makes more sense to take the bus.

But on the way back to the airport and you're pressed for time,

just take the airport express.

The bus travel time is dependent on the traffic conditions,

and you're also not guaranteed a seat.

The bus will be coming from the far end of the island.

By the time it reaches the central or Xiong Wan area,

it has already made several stops along the way.

If you feel like you're running late for your flight,

take the airport express.

Speaking of flights,

on our most recent trip,

we flew with Philippine Airlines,

which flies to Hong Kong four times a day.

Two in the morning,

one in the afternoon,

and one in the evening.

One thing I really appreciate is the generous baggage allowance

that automatically comes with each booking.

It should cover all your Hong Kong,

hashtag OOTDs and shopping haul.

You also get a 7kg carry-on baggage allowance on top of it.

Another reason we prefer PAL is its 4-star service.

We can always rely on PAL to serve delicious in-flight meals

and unlimited drinks on board,

already included in the booking.
