Speed. It’s one of the things that flyers like best about Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA). The ability to move efficiently through one of the world’s busiest airports is why HKIA scores highly in the Skytrax survey, voted for by passengers. They cite it as one of – if not the top – airport for transfers.
That’s helped significantly by convenient flights across the region and beyond from Cathay Pacific and HK Express. Indeed, Cathay’s most frequent flyers voted for HKIA as Asia’s best airport in the 2019 Marco Polo Club Members’ Choice Awards.
The good news is that the airport’s only going to get better. The Norman Foster-designed Terminal One, whose flow and uncluttered space make it so easy to navigate, is to be joined by another satellite terminal, linked by a people-mover. It will service the new third runway, which is currently under construction, as are other elements that will ready HKIA for future increased demand.
As the airport expansion continues to take shape, there’s plenty to enjoy and explore, including Michelin-starred Cantonese food, speciality shops, massages and world-class lounges. Read up on the best experiences at HKIA.
