SkyPier - Hong Kong International Airport — Attraction in Hong Kong

A highly convenient method to access Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) from Macau is by utilizing the hotel shuttle bus service. The shuttle departs from the hotel in Macau and proceeds to the HZMB port (bridge). Upon arrival at the port, passengers should proceed to the upper floor towards the Departure hall, as the hotel shuttle stops at the Arrival hall.

At the Departure hall, there are two bus counters. The regular bus requires passengers to carry their luggage, while the HKIA bus offers more privileges to those flying with specific airlines, including Cathay Pacific, JAL, HK Express, China Airlines, and others. Please note that this information may be subject to change over time, so it is advisable to recheck before traveling.

As I was flying with Cathay Pacific, I opted for the HKIA bus. The fare was 280 MOP or HKD (please note that HKD coins are not accepted, only notes). After purchasing the ticket, I was able to load my luggage and receive a boarding pass, similar to the process at an airport.

Following this, I proceeded downstairs and followed the green line marked "To Hong Kong." This led me to the immigration area, where there was a waiting area (without food and beverage options) for passengers to gather before boarding time.

The bus journey from the port to HKIA, SkyPier, takes approximately 40-45 minutes. Upon arrival at SkyPier, passengers are required to present their passport and boarding pass for immigration clearance once again. It is important to note that any bottled water in possession must be consumed or discarded before proceeding, as it is not permitted through security.

Finally, a shuttle train is available to transport passengers to all gates within the airport. This makes the overall travel experience from Macau to HKIA very convenient and straightforward.

Nevertheless, it would have been more helpful if they had provided clearer and more detailed information about this on the website. Although I visited the website multiple times, I only learned about it when I inquired at the counter at...

SkyPier at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA).

The SkyPier is a unique and convenient ferry terminal located airside (within the restricted area) of HKIA. It allows transit passengers to transfer directly to and from destinations in the Pearl River Delta and Macau without passing through Hong Kong immigration or collecting their luggage.

· Arriving Passengers: You must have a through ticket (air and ferry) issued by your airline or a confirmed ferry ticket, and you must be heading directly to a ferry destination. · Departing Passengers: You are coming from a ferry and connecting to a flight at HKIA.

You CANNOT use the SkyPier if:

· You have already cleared Hong Kong immigration and collected your baggage. You are a member of the public trying to buy a ferry ticket.

· Location: The SkyPier is at the west end of the HKIA terminal, near the North Satellite Concourse. · Getting There: The only way for eligible passengers to reach it is via the automated people mover (APM) from the main terminal's transfer area.

If You Cannot Use the SkyPier (The Public Option)

If you have already entered Hong Kong (cleared immigration and collected baggage), you need to use the public ferry services.

· SkyPier is for Transfers Only: It's an airside facility for passengers connecting directly between a flight and a ferry. · Luggage is Transferred Automatically: This is the biggest benefit. · Check with Your Airline: Confirm if your airline participates in the through-check-in service for ferries. · Verify Ferry Schedule: Schedules can be reduced, especially outside of peak times.

I have travel to Macau on 27 April last month by bus via Hong Kong International airport. I thought it was convenient having the airport service to transit over. Upon receiving my bag via Skypier transit holding area I notice my baggage was damaged.

Immediately the staff hand over Indemnity Release Form asking us to sign which we refuse and make official complaint. The reply we get is as good as not reply and no one is responsible for it.  We are also not given any acknowledgement or damage report for us to claim from travel insurance.

Please if you want to travel to Macau from Hong Kong think again if you want to use this service. As you have no channel to make complaint  there and then as you are in the bus holding area and the airport staff will claim that Skypier staff responsobility and vice versa which you will go in circle...
