Take the Express Train to Hong Kong

Q: We have to decide whether to book a transfer from Hong Kong Airport to our hotel in Kowloon or rather take the express train into the city. The hotel transfer would cost 650 Hong Kong dollars (HKD) for two people, so which one would be the best for us to choose? – Arnold Du Plessis.

A: The Hong Kong Airport Express is very convenient and hassle-free, with departures every 12 minutes for the 21-minute journey to Kowloon. At Kowloon station you can take the free shuttle bus to your hotel or pay for a taxi if you are in a rush. A single one-way ticket from the airport to Kowloon costs 90 Hong Kong Dollars. While the airport-hotel limousine service is probably more convenient overall, the train service is much more cost-effective. If you don’t have too much luggage, it would be your best bet. (6/11/11)
