Hong Kong Series: Tips and Tricks (The Finale)

Posted in Travel by

Travelling can be costly. Once you’re there, there’s no backing out. You just have to take it all in and be happy that you’re in a different country, for a vacation which a lot of people can’t do.

There’s nothing wrong with being able to save a few dollars in any way possible. So here are my tips for you.

  • Purchase the Airport Express Card (1 ride for 220 HKD or 2 rides for 300 HKD)

Aside from the ride using the Airport Express to and from the airport, you’ll get 3 days of unlimited use of the MTR and free use of the Airport Express bus that can take you to any major hotels in the city.

You can also use the in-town checkin which is highly recommendable. It enables you to check in early for your flight and have the luxury to go around HK for the last time sans your luggage.

We bought our ticket online for 209 HKD. And once you return the card, you will get 50 HKD back. So all in all, we only just paid 159 HKD.
