HKG — Frequently asked
Which terminal does my airline use at Hong Kong Airport?+
Almost everything is Terminal 1 — Cathay Pacific (home), HK Express, Hong Kong Airlines, plus all foreign carriers (BA, Qantas, JAL, Lufthansa, Singapore, Air France, KLM, Emirates, Qatar, United, American, Korean Air, Thai, ANA, etc.). Terminal 2 is closed for reconstruction until ~2027. Midfield + Satellite Concourses are extensions of T1 reached by free automated train.
How do I get from Hong Kong Airport to the city?+
Airport Express train — HK$115, 24 min direct to Hong Kong Station (Central). Best option. Every 10 min, very reliable. Free in-town check-in 24h before flight at Hong Kong + Kowloon stations (drop bags, get boarding pass, return later). Cheaper: MTR Tung Chung line (HK$30-$50, 50-70 min) or Cityflyer bus (HK$33). Taxi HK$280-$400.
What is in-town check-in at Hong Kong?+
A unique HKG perk — passengers on Cathay, HK Express, Hong Kong Airlines, JAL, ANA, Singapore Airlines, Qantas + a few others can check in + drop bags at Hong Kong Station (Central) or Kowloon Station up to 24 hours before flight. Get boarding pass, then enjoy the city without luggage. Take the Airport Express to HKG when ready. Free with an Airport Express ticket.
How long does it take to walk between gates at HKG?+
T1 alone is 1,300m end-to-end. To Midfield Concourse: 2-min APM train + walk. To Satellite Concourse: separate APM. Allow 25-40 minutes to walk from check-in to the furthest gate (especially Midfield gates 50-80). Free moving walkways throughout.
Can I leave Hong Kong Airport during a layover?+
Yes for most major nationalities — Hong Kong offers 7-180 day visa-free entry depending on passport (US/UK/EU/Aus = 90 days). Use Airport Express to Central (24 min). Allow 4-5 hours round trip minimum. Popular short trips: Hong Kong Island Star Ferry + Peak Tram (3-4h), Mong Kok markets (3-4h), or stay airside — HKG has the world's only IMAX theatre in an airport + a 9-hole golf course visible from T1.
How early should I arrive at HKG?+
International: 2.5-3 hours. Cathay + JAL + Qantas Business passengers use dedicated Premium Check-in (5-15 min). HKG security is usually fast (10-25 min) outside peak. Walking time to far gates adds 15-30 min — important if you're at Midfield. Cathay marketed flights also offer in-town check-in (24h pre-flight, free).
