Hong Kong Flights

Cathay Pacific is a good airline, not as good as Virgin Atlantic, but good. Each seat has its own T.V. Monitor with lots of movie channels and games to pass the 14 hours from L.A. This is a picture of the Hong Kong Airport.

Hong Kong International Airport
Visitors to Hong Kong are served by one of the world's largest and most modern airports. Situated at Chek Lap Kok on Lantau Island, Hong Kong International Airport truly makes Hong Kong the gateway to Asia.
Operated by the MTR Corporation, the high-speed Airport Express (AEL) rail service takes passengers to Hong Kong Station in Central, via Tsing Yi and Kowloon, in only 23 minutes. The one-way adult fare from the airport to Hong Kong Island is HK$90. Trains run every 10 minutes from 5:50am-1:00am daily and free shuttle-bus services to major hotels are available for AEL users.

Ferry links between Chek Lap Kok Pier and Tuen Mun Pier in the New Territories run from 6:00am-11:00pm daily. Taxis to almost anywhere in Hong Kong are readily available from the taxi pick-up area. A typical journey between the airport and Central costs about HK$330; and Tsim Sha Tsui the fare is HK$270

I took their national carrier, Cathay Pacific Airlines and, it was such a stressful flight for me! There were screaming kids ALL OVER the plane (economy class) and they were jumping around like mini-Tarzans and generally making lots of noise! The poor flight attendants couldn't even control these boisterous kids!!!!!!!!! Here's a note to all parents: PLEASE teach your children some manners! There are other passengers on board the plane who need to rest. And we, like you - paid good money to board this plane too!
Taking taxis in Hong Kong can also be a VERY stressful experience. I, being the good British citizen, was trying to hail a taxi one day after a serious bout of shopping at Pacific Place and was literally shoved and outnumbered by 3 Hong Kong girls who came out of no where and STOLE my taxi!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And that bloody taxi driver didn't even bother to tell these 3 RUDE Hong Kong girls off!!!!!!!! This is it. The next time when I decide to hail a taxi in Hong Kong, I'm carrying a golf club with me - purely for knocking on these rude heads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You bet I'm mad!!!

Low cost carrier Jetstar operate a Hong Kong - Singapore route, ideal for us. Flight time around 3 hours in a modern airbus A320. Book early on their website for best prices.

Hong Kong is seved by Chek Lap Koi airport on Lantua island. From there, buses and taxis can transport you to the city. Most major American Airlines have flights to HK.
