transfer question: Hong Kong airport to Guangzhou airport
Please could some kind and knowledgable person tell me how to transfer
between the above two airports, and how long it is likely to take. Cost is not a major issue, although I am unwilling to pay the high price of a flight from one to the other. I will be arriving from the UK and will therefore be exhausted, so I would prefer a reasonably hassle-free means of getting to Guangzhuo airport, where I will be getting a domestic flight. I would particularly appreciate advice on how long to allow between my scheduled arrival time in HKG (on Cathay Pacific) and the departure of my onward flight. Perhaps the ideal would be an overnight boat with a bed (or cabin): do they still run between Hong Kong and Guangzhuo? |

It might be easier and quicker to get to Shenzhen. Otherwise, there are buses from Hong Kong Airport: http://www.hongkongairport.com/eng/aguide/cross.html Other possibility is to take a bus or the MTR into town and get the fast ferry up to Guangzhou from the Ferry Terminal on Canton Road. Have fun! |

As the OP, I am responding:

Are you really stuck to taking a domestic flight from Guangzhou? It might be easier and quicker to get to Shenzhen. Yes, getting to Shenzhen would be easier. My final destination is near to Nanning (NNG) but I cannot find any flights there from near Hong Kong. However, flights from CAN to nearby Guilin are very reasonably priced. If you know of any search engine that would show flights out of Shenzhen to the Nanning region, please let me know. Otherwise, there are buses from Hong Kong Airport: http://www.hongkongairport.com/eng/aguide/cross.html Thanks, I shall check that link. Other possibility is to take a bus or the MTR into town and get the fast ferry up to Guangzhou from the Ferry Terminal on Canton Road. Any idea of ferry times? I know my way around Hong Kong, but after arriving in Guangzhou by ferry, how long would I need to get on the airport? With thanks again. Have fun! |

For fast ferry times, look he http://www.turbojet.com.hk/turbojet_...routes_rev.htm For checking flights, I use: http://www.itn.net/cgi/get?itn/pl/amexconsumer/index It's generally fairly reliable. I don't buy through that service though, just check availability and schedules. Have you tried a Hong Kong Travel agent to see what fares would be out of Hong Kong airport to Guilin or Nanning? I hear that the following travel agent is fairly reliable: http://www.tiglion.com/ Good luck |

transfer question: Hong Kong airport to Guangzhou airport
FWIW, there's an express train from Hong Kong (Kowloon side) to Guangzhou
that only takes 1 hour. "MB" wrote in message ... "david" wrote in message om... As the OP, I am responding: "MB" wrote in message .. . "david" wrote in message om...
