CotaiJet does not serve HK airport.

You will have to take the TurboJet from HKG, and then take the free Venetian shuttle bus from the Macau Ferry Terminal to the hotel.

I plan to go to HK on May 8 and will stay there for 2 nights in Kowloon area.

And then I%26#39;ll go to Macau on the third day and stay a night there. The fourth day I have to go back to HK International Airport.

Can someone advice me which ferry terminal I should go to?

Should I go to TST ferry terminal or Central terminal?

Can I go directly from Macau terminal to HK International Airport?

Thanks in advance

Sid40, the branch of the Turbojet company that runs the direct HKIA - Macau route is Turbojet SeaExpress; no problem buying tickets on arrival in HK. Just follow the Skypier services sign in the airport. You do not go through HK immigration. When purchasing your ferry ticket, hand over your luggage claim tags, and Turbojet staff will collect your bags and transfer them to the ferry directly. Once you have gone through the security check, you are free to return to the main airside area of the airport if you don%26#39;t want to hang around the incredibly dull Skypier gate lounge; just make sure you return 45 minutes before your boat is due to depart.

Milka_yk - what time is your flight from HKIA? There are direct ferries to HKIA but at reduced frequency. It may be quicker to take a TurboJet or Cotai ferry to HKG Island (Macau Ferry Terminal) and walk the short distance to HKG Station (on a covered walkway above ground) and catch the airport express.

Forgot to add that the Venetian runs frequent shuttle buses to %26amp; from the main Macau ferry terminal.

Milka, as you%26#39;ll be staying in Kowloon, it will be easiest for you to use the China Ferry Terminal (just opposite Kowloon Park in Tsim Sha Tsui) to travel to Macau. The ferry company serving this route is First Ferry. If you are travelling on a normal weekday there is no need to buy tickets in advance, just arrive 40 minutes or so before you want to travel; but if travelling on a weekend or public holiday it is advisable to book your ticket at least a day in advance. You can do this either over the internet or at the ferry terminal (on departures level).

Depending on what time of day your plane leaves, the most convenient way to travel from Macau to HKIA is using the Turbojet SeaExpress service mentioned above. I don%26#39;t have the website bookmarked on this computer, but you can google it.

Thank you zhuhai and oisaan for the advices.

My flight from HKIA will be on 16.00 or 4 pm (Monday).

So, do you think what will be best for me?

Taking the Turbo Jet from Macau Ferry Terminal to HK island or just directly using Skypier to HKIA avoiding double check immigration?

There are strict rules with the SeaExpress service that you must arrive at HKIA at least 2 hours before your flight leaves (just in case of any breakdown en route, so there will still be time to get pax onto another ferry and they can still make their flights), so you%26#39;d have to catch the 12:30 service from Macau. You would probably want to leave a bit earlier than this if you were going via HK island or Kowloon, AND pay the extra train/bus/taxi fare to get you to the airport, so I would definitely go with the direct airport service.

Thank you for that information.

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!

I agee with oisan, if you are staying in Kowloon you can book the trip to Macau from the hotel, or a rep, they will then show you around Macau also.Take you to the Tower which should not be missed!! it is Awesome. We booked trip to Macau with local rep. met at the MARCO POLO HOTEL, WE STAYED AT THE Royal Pacific Towers, so it was not a problem for us to go to the Marco Polo hotel.Kowloon Park was just a short walk..I would buy the ferry tickets once you arrive at your hotel..

Thank you so much for the info and advice, oisaan.

That really helps me a lot :)

So I think I%26#39;ll take the airpot direct ferry instead of going to HK island first since it will be more practical and save more money too :)
