Hong Kong Airport

Free internet in selected areas of the airport and many shops and restaurants - only problem I noticed is price. At Singapore you will find stores and restaurants catering to all budgets. In Hong Kong everything especially food was similar to US prices - I did not see where the low end food places were.

Really nice uncomplicated layout which makes tourists find their boarding gates faster. The airport was really clean and the high speed train service helps a lot.

Clean beautifully designed terminal buildings with efficient processes from check-in to boarding. The staff are courteous plenty of shops restaurants and different forms of entertainment to be had including free Internet. Transport links are excellent including a reasonably priced airport express train going from the terminal building to Hong Kong station in 24 minutes.

For outbound flight the clean and spacious departure hall impressed me most which it had clear signs and information board. This is a very efficient airport for the immigration control. Staff in the airport are helpful in helping me to locate those printing stations for me to print out my hotel confirmation (which I've forgotten). For inbound flight baggage reclaim was very efficient which baggage is ready within 15 minutes after landing. I'm very impressed with this airport.

Despite being a large modern airport it still failed to impress. The biggest problem were ground staff - both for airline check in and information and for security and immigration. Despite being what appeared to be peak time (0900h) there was only one channel of security open and two channels of immigration. This resulted in the line up being well out into the check in area despite the switch back crowd control devices. Once inside the passenger departure area I was disappointed to see that half of the stores and facilities were still closed. My impression was that the standards had slipped significantly from the last time I was at this airport.

Great experiences in and out - so refreshing after US airports. Arrival at busy time and new immigration desks opened as needed and good marshalling of lines. Departure process just as easy. Only criticism would be that shopping seems to be the same over-priced designer stores every other airport has these days.

No doubt that Hong Kong International is among the best in the world. Kind Immigration short lines and good signage. Public transportation options from and to the airport impressive. Also option to check-in many hours before the flight in the city centre is very practical. However even Hong Kong International has its downsides. Shopping options before security very good not the same is true for the Duty-Free area which has limited options in the way of restaurants and shops. Also no Airside Hotel but a resting lounge with cabins to rent which is a let down.

Made a transit and arrival here. Airport was good in transit Cathay Pacific or airport staff helped out. Arrival quick because it was a non-busy hour. I enjoyed the time to use the free airport wifi during transit. However it is a bit confusing (signs).

Arrived into Hong Kong from Heathrow on an Air New Zealand flight in the early evening. First impressions were good airport was spacious and everything was well signposted. We had to wait around 30 mins to clear immigration which was longer than I expected but still acceptable. Baggage was waiting on the carousel when we made it through to the baggage area and we were able to easily get a taxi from outside the terminal. On our flight out of HKG to SIN we checked in but didn't realise that the majority of shops / restaurants were through the security check point and spent about an hour wandering around the landside where facilities are limited. Airside there are numerous shopping and eating places and we made the most of a three hour delay by having a great meal and looking round the designer shops. Overall a great airport and a great place to journey in and out of SE Asia.

Hong Kong International is a world class airport. Having both transited arrived and departed I can say that the airport is built for efficiency and practicality. I love how security is done immediately after immigration so that once you are on the airside you don't have to worry about being caught up with security after your dining/shopping as well as the 100ml liquids rule if you decide to buy drinks for your flight. They don't coop you up in a small room. The immigration process was speedy for a major airport and they didn't spend time asking me any absurd questions. My final impression - great food shopping professional staff a cozy and clean feel.
