Hong Kong is not just a city, it is an administrative region of China with a huge population. This city is considered the economic center of Asia. Hong Kong Air Gate - international Airport Cheklapkok. The name of the port is formal, it is rarely used only to explain to the interlocutor that we're talking about about the new airport, not the old one called Kai Tak. The international airport received its name in honor of the artificial island on which it is located.

Hong Kong International Airport is an important transport hub, opening air gates to Southeast Asia and to mainland China. It was opened in 1998, but in a short period it managed to win numerous awards as best port in the service sector. Annual passenger traffic is approximately 65 million people.

Chek Lap Kok Airport is located on an artificial island between Chek Lap Kok and Lam Chau islands. This is in the southwest of the city. It is connected by road to Lantau Island in its northern part. During the construction of the airport terminal, several factors were taken into account:

  • speeding up the process of clearing customs and passport control;
  • availability of priority services for passengers;
  • appearance.

The majority of tourists begin their acquaintance with the city of Hong Kong from Chek Lap Kok Airport. This air harbor is considered one of the best and largest in the world. Therefore, if you are going to this metropolis, then it is extremely necessary, first of all, to find out all the information about the airport so that the first impression of getting to know this city is not spoiled.

If we count all the airports that are in Hong Kong, then there are exactly five of them. However, there are only two that are fully functioning today. Hong Kong's most important airport is Chek Lap Kok, an international passenger airport that welcomes guests from all over the world. The second airport is Shek Kong, but it is not a passenger airport. The purpose of this harbor is a landing strip for Chinese military aircraft. The remaining three airports are inactive.

Address on the map

So, from the point of view of foreign guests of China, you and I are interested in Hong Kong International Airport, which is located at:

Online arrival and departure board: Hong Kong airport schedule

Hong Kong Airport map: description and terminals

Hong Kong International Airport has just huge size To get to gates 40-80 you will have to take a train. However, despite the fact that Chek Lap Kok is so huge, it is quite easy to figure out what and where it is. Moreover, there are only three terminals, where all services are located conveniently for passengers, and there are signs everywhere that will lead you to the right place.

Chek Lap Kok also has information kiosks and telephones, thanks to which tourists can find out all the necessary information. Since the airport building is simply huge, there are travelators and shuttles that run between the check-in hall and the exit to the plane. It is worth noting that they are completely free.

Main for international passengers is terminal No. 1, this is where all planes arrive, here you can also go through customs and passport control. By and large, the bulk of people are located here.

Terminal No. 2 is intended exclusively for check-in; planes do not fly from this place.

There is also a Midfield terminal which is for private jets only. There are separate waiting rooms, elite cafes, storage rooms and other services necessary for a comfortable stay. Therefore, for the average tourist this terminal is of no interest.

You have arrived in Hong Kong

So, now let's talk about what to do when you arrive in Hong Kong. It is worth noting that everything was built here so that everyone who arrived at Chek Lap Kok could immediately figure out where to go and what needs to be done. Therefore, it is not possible to get lost here or go the “wrong” way. Immediately along the way there will be passport control, so as not to delay the verification procedure, it is recommended to immediately prepare:

  • passport;
  • completed migration card. Usually the form is issued directly on board the plane; if you have problems filling it out, you can safely ask the flight attendant for help. But sometimes it happens that forms are not issued. In this case, do not be nervous; there are special counters at the airport where you can get this form.

Note! If you are a citizen of Russia, Ukraine or Kazakhstan and intend to stay in Hong Kong for no more than 14 days, then you will not need a visa. Citizens of all other CIS countries will have to obtain a full visa before traveling.

There may be a huge line at passport control, but don't worry about being stuck here for half a day. People move quite quickly. It is also worth noting that photography is strictly prohibited here, so it is better not to take risks and abandon this idea.

After clearing customs, you need to go to the baggage claim area. Since everything happens here quite quickly, by the time you go through passport control your things will already be on the tape. There are signs here where you can find out the number of the conveyor on which the luggage is located.

When a person is an ordinary tourist and has nothing to declare, then he needs to go through the “green corridor” to the arrivals hall. If you are greeted, then it is in the next hall that there will be people with signs. In the case of an independent train, you will need to get to the city, how to do this will be described a little below.

If you are not heading to Hong Kong, but, for example, to Macau, i.e. at Hong Kong airport just in transit, then carefully read the signs, of which there are a lot, they will tell you where to go. Moreover, the first sign in Macau is located even before passing through passport control. That is, in case of traveling to another city, it is absolutely not necessary to go through the document verification procedure.

Money can be changed directly at the airport, however, at many airports, including Chek Lap Kok, the exchange rate is not the most favorable. Therefore, it is recommended to change the minimum amount here to get to the city and only change the rest of the money there. This way you can save quite a large amount of money.

How to get from Hong Kong airport to the city

There are several ways to get to the city from Hong Kong airport.

Taxi

The most convenient way to get from the airport to the city is by taxi. There is a color code for taxis. Red cars can take tourists directly to Hong Kong itself and new cities such as Chung Wan, Sa Thin, Chen Gwan. They can also take you to anywhere in Hong Kong except Lantau Island. Green taxis will take you to all new territories that city taxis do not enter. Blue taxis will take you to Lantau Island. The cost of a trip to the city center will cost about 300HKD.

Bus

An incredible number of different buses travel from Hong Kong Airport to the city, leading to different directions. To find out which route is right for you, we recommend finding the metro station closest to your hotel on the map, then going to the carriers’ website and studying the routes. The carriers have a detailed route for each bus with stops along the way. You can find a suitable bus on the Citybus and Long Win websites.

Bus stops You can find it at the airport using special signs. They are located on Floor G, next to Parking Lot 1 (Terminal 1), behind the express platform. There are also ticket offices on the left where it is better to purchase tickets (when paying on the bus you need to have change, as the drivers do not give change). Buses arrive first to the first terminal, then to the second.

Please note that if you have a lot of luggage with you, then you should take orange buses, they mean that they are suitable for a large number of things.

Aeroexpress train

You can get to the center of Hong Kong from the airport on a special high-speed train, the Airport Express. It runs daily from 5:54 to 23:28 every 10 minutes, and from 23:28 to 00:48 every 12 minutes. You can find the current train schedule. Fare by high speed train depends on the station you are going to: to central station From Hong Kong you will have to pay 100HKD, to Kowloon station - 90HKD, to Tsing Yi station - 60HKD, to AsiaWorld-Expo you can get there for 5HKD.

You are leaving Hong Kong

When you are going to leave Hong Kong, upon arrival at the airport, the first thing you need to do is decide which terminal your flight will be checked in at. Aeroflot, as well as many other European and American airlines, are based in the first terminal. But, if you are traveling to another Asian country Air airlines Asia, Thai Airways, in this case, check-in will take place in the second terminal. More detailed information can be found directly on the official website of Hong Kong Airport.

If you check in at the second terminal, do not worry that it is quite far from the first: there is a covered passage between the terminals. Moreover, if you need to get to distant gates, you can use special transport, which is provided completely free of charge.

The check-in process itself is no different from other airports around the world: you need to present your tickets and passport, and then check in your luggage. If you don't want to interact with airport staff, you can check in via an electronic terminal and then simply check in your luggage.

After all your luggage has been checked in, you will find yourself in a huge area where there are a large number of shops, restaurants and cafes. There is also a Duty Free shop here. But in order to have a snack you don’t have to go through registration and passport control; there are hundreds of catering places in various areas at the airport.

You can get to the required gate on foot or use a travelator. Usually Aeroflot planes take off from 20 - 30 gates. If the departure takes place from gates 40 to 80, then in this case you can take a ride on a special train that will take you to your destination.

Usually the process of registration and document verification takes about 30-40 minutes. However, it is worth arriving in advance, because there can always be various force majeure situations. Moreover, tropical downpours and other weather disasters are common in Hong Kong, due to which the travel time to the airport can seriously increase.

How to get to Hong Kong airport from the city

There are several ways to get to Hong Kong Airport from the city.

Aeroexpress train

You can quickly and comfortably get to Hong Kong Airport from the city by express train, which will take you to your destination in just half an hour. Aeroexpress runs daily at intervals of 10-12 minutes from 5:50 to 00:59. Check current schedule trains you can. The cost of the trip will be about 100HKD.

Note! When getting off the train at the airport, identify the doors correctly: to the left is terminal 1, to the right is terminal 2 (if you look in the direction of the train).

Bus

You can also get to Hong Kong Airport from the city by bus. There are many buses, their routes can be found on the websites of official carriers: Citybus and Long Win. There are both day and night flights, their prices may vary.

Taxi

The most convenient way to get to Hong Kong airport from the city is by taxi. You can order a taxi at the hotel reception or at special taxi stands in the city.

You are transiting through Hong Kong

If you use Chek Lap Kok airport as a transit and transfer to another plane, then everything here is also quite simple. In case of a quick transfer, you need to go with everyone else towards passport control, but just in front of it there will be a sign and a left turn.

Turning around, you will find yourself in a fairly small hall, which is intended specifically for transit passengers. There you will also need to obtain a boarding pass for your next flight. There are almost never queues here, and if there are, they go by very quickly.

Please pay attention to one very important point. When departing from your home country, you must check your luggage immediately to your final destination. Otherwise, problems may arise and your luggage will be lost along the way.

If your baggage is checked in before the transit point, you will have to find your things and then check it in again with the help of airport staff. It’s good that if you have a lot of time to carry out this procedure, in the event of a quick transfer, the airport staff simply will not be able to help and the luggage will simply remain in the transit country, from which it will be quite problematic to pick it up.

If a ticket with a transfer is purchased from one airline, then usually things are checked in correctly (to the final destination). When tickets were purchased separately from each other, there is a very high probability of getting into such a situation, be extremely careful.

After receiving boarding pass All that remains is to wait for the plane to arrive and the landing announcement. Airport services recommend purchasing tickets in such a way that the connection time is at least 40 minutes. In fact, under ideal conditions, 20 minutes is enough, but different situations may exist. Therefore, it is better to wait a little and have a cup of coffee than to miss your flight or simply leave your luggage in a foreign country.

Things to do at Hong Kong Airport

If a person has a lot of time left before boarding the plane, then one can have a very interesting time here. It’s immediately worth noting that all entertainment is located in the second terminal.

Discovery Center Aviation is a place where you can learn about the history of aviation in general and Hong Kong in particular. If desired, every tourist can feel like a pilot. Opening hours from 11:00 to 22:00.

GreenLive AIR was created for all golf lovers. Simply a great golf simulator that is available in any weather.

IMAX Theater@Airport is an exciting and modern cinema that seats 360 people. However, the films are only broadcast in English and Chinese.

Luggage storage at Hong Kong airport

If necessary, you can leave your luggage in the storage room, which is located on the third level of the second terminal. However, the cost of these services is very high; for one hour you will have to pay about 1.5 dollars, and for a day – 18 $. However, this price is very approximate, since it is constantly changing and it is difficult to predict what it will be today.

But if the financial situation is quite difficult, and you need to leave your luggage, you can save a lot. The airport express stops at Tsing Yi Station, where there is also a luggage storage facility, the price of which will be half the price.

History of Hong Kong Airport (Chek Lap Kok)

Chek Lap Kok is a fairly young airport, which was opened not so long ago - in 1998. However, during this period of time the airfield received a colossal number of awards, such as best airport in the world.

The world's best minds worked on the creation of this project. Their main task was to speed up the passage of passengers through the terminals as much as possible. But also great attention was paid to appearance air harbor. The airport had to appeal to employees and passengers. It is worth admitting that everything planned worked out 100%.

Moreover, this project was included in the Guinness Book of Records. Chek Lap Kok received this award due to its high cost. Nowhere in the world has an airport costing $20 billion been built. This amount was spent over 6 years while construction work was going on.

Today, Chek Lap Kok is considered one of the busiest airports not only in China, but throughout the world.

Hong Kong Old Airport: Kai Tak

Before Chek Lap Kok was established in Hong Kong, Kai Tak was the main air port. It was erected back in 1925 and operated until 1998. It is worth noting that throughout all time Kaitak was considered the most dangerous airport in the world. The thing is that on one side there was residential development, and on the other, Victoria Bay. To land here, pilots had to demonstrate all their skills.

There are several ways to get to the city. Let's look at them in detail.

Taxi

Train (Airport Express)

The station of this train is practically combined with the arrival hall of the first terminal. The fare to Hong Kong Station is HK$100. You can pay for your fare using Octopus or purchase a ticket from a machine or at a special counter in the arrivals hall. The train operates from 05:54 to 00:48, with intervals of 10-12 minutes. Travel time is 24 minutes to the end.

Aeroexpress ticket machines

In theory this is the most quick way get into the city, but in fact the train will only quickly reach Hong Kong Station or Kowloon Station. And if your hotel is located far enough from them, the total time spent will be quite large. The ticket price is also high.

Express buses (CityFlyer)

This is perhaps the best option in terms of price and speed. There are several routes from the airport to different areas of the city, both day and night. The cost, as a rule, does not exceed 40 HK$, they go often. You can find out the schedule of these buses, as well as the location of the stops, on the websites transport companies on the page about buses. The numbers of buses that operate on the line to the Airport begin with the letters A (airbus), E (external), NA and N (night) and S (Shuttle Bus).

These buses have special shelves for luggage. Moreover, if the bus is double-decker, you don’t have to worry about the safety of your things if you go to the second floor - the monitors installed on the second floor always show a picture from the luggage compartment. Many buses on these lines have free WiFi.

Express bus A11

You can pay for your fare using Octopus or in cash at the ticket office on the bus. Little advice: one of the criteria for choosing a hotel should be the presence of an express bus stop nearby.

Attention! These buses arrive at the airport on the second level of terminal T1 (departure hall), here passengers are only disembarked and cannot board. To take the bus into the city, you need to go down to the stops between terminals T1 and T2.

Bus + metro

This way to get to Hong Kong can be called the cheapest, and it is often found on forums for independent travelers.

You need to take the S1 bus from the first terminal. Its stop is located between terminals T1 and T2, but you need to go down to it to the right if you go from the first terminal (the stops of almost all express buses are also located there). This the bus is coming to the final Tung Chung Station Bus Terminus (fare 3.5 HK$, interval about 10 minutes). Then you change to the metro and go where you need to go.

Bus stop S1 at the airport

Considering that the cost of metro travel only to Hong Kong Station is 21.9 HK$ on Octopus and 25 HK$ when buying a one-time ticket, the savings are very doubtful, and the loss of time is large.

Hong Kong International Airport is the transport hub of the city of the same name. It was built in 1998, also known as Chek Lap Kok Airport (as it is located on the island of the same name). Built to replace the city's old transport hub, Kai Tak, it is now a hub for many companies, such as Cathay Pacific (Hong Kong's airline), Dragonair, Hong Kong Airlines, Hong Kong Express Airways.
