Prices are indicative, shown in AUD and refreshed from provider APIs where available. Always confirm the final price on the provider's site - it is the price that applies. We may earn a commission if you buy through our links, which never changes what you pay. Partners are listed before providers who pay us nothing, as our terms set out; sorting by price ignores all of that and orders on the number alone. How we make money.
Cheapest option: Airport bus A11 or A21 at around $8. Fastest: Airport Express.

Hong Kong airport transfer FAQs
What happens if a typhoon hits while I am in Hong Kong?
A T8 signal or above closes the airport, public transport and most businesses for the duration, typically a day. Typhoon season runs May to October, so leave a buffer day before an onward flight if you are travelling then.
