Hong Kong Airport customer review

(United Kingdom)

We were in transit at Hong Kong. Upon leaving the arriving plane all transit passengers were lined up into a long queue to have their boarding cards checked before being given an additional card. One felt slightly that we were being processed rather than being managed. We then went through the usual baggage xray and security checks and all liquids were confiscated even though we had just come off a plane a few metres away and were going back on the same plane in two hours. The airport itself was large uncrowded and clean free wifi available everywhere plus a few (not enough) terminals for those without their own computer. Overall it was an acceptable experience.

Hong Kong Airport customer review

(India)

Outstanding airport city side and airside. Neat clean excellent signage clean wash rooms lots of seating/waiting areas huge array of eating/drinking and shopping options perfect temperature & humidity etc. Excellent connectivity to the city via the express train and also a great airport to transit through for onward flights and ferries to Macau and the mainland. The only problem I had on a recent trip (Nov 2010) was the queuing time for immigration; it took almost an hour to clear immigration which is unacceptable in the modern era. This is the only reason for rating an otherwise outstanding airport as good.

Hong Kong Airport customer review

(France)

Transited to HK from Paris to Taipei and back. This is a very big airport but it is well designed and you never feel stressed. It is also outstandingly well organized and managed and the people from Paris CDG should go there to learn their job. On the way in due to a mistake in the ticketing we had to pass passport control get our luggage and re-check. Although passport control was smooth and quick our luggage were already on the belt! The signs were very clear no confusion at all. On the way back transit took about 10 minutes altogether. Airport is clean and clear with excellent A/C. Plenty of toilets clean also. Lots of nice duty-free shops and a sufficient number of seats in the waiting area at the gate.

Hong Kong Airport customer review

(United States)

We arrived at 10:30pm on a flight from Seoul. Most of the facilities were closed for the night. The terminal was uncrowded and exiting to ground transport was easy. The one weak link in this outstanding airport is signage - it can be a bit confusing at times especially at night after most of the airport staff are off work especially past the gate area going towards the rail station.

(Malaysia)

HKIA must take a leaf from Changi when it comes to signage. It was utterly confusing coming in one late evening having the plane a distance away. One had to walk a long distance to the train only to find out that the train just came back several gates down. Other signs are just as bad. It should have a native English speaker read the language. The Chinese are just as bad. Not a good welcome from what claims to be a world city.

Hong Kong Airport customer review

(New Zealand)

I'm not sure how this airport could be a contender for Airport of the Year. Sure the service is generally great and it's very clean and efficient but half the shops seem to be open only from 9 to 9! Signage could be improved in some areas as (for example) you get half-way to the coin-operated left-luggage lockers and the signs stop (they're on the bottom level of Terminal 2 at the bus station end of the building). Amongst my six uses I had a late night departure and an early arrival and just about everything other than the food outlets was closed. However immigration was quick (first time) but very slow (second and third times in) - baggage on the carousel each time but considering how long it takes to get from the planes all the way into this area that's not really surprising. Security quick and painless. Overall 4/5 but no more.

HKG was the worst airport during my trip. Immigration staff not friendly long queuing for transit security check. security checking staff rude and tired definitely need some sleep or another job. Duty free shops are not much better. Compare with SYD PEK and PVG HKG is the worst experience I had during last trip.

(United Kingdom)

From and to LHR with VS. A true 5 star airport. Queues at Immigration were a let down due to low staffing but friendly and fast when you get to the head of the queue. Great food outlets landside and airside. MTR great and in Hong Kong itself. Great country with a great airport
