How to get to Hong Kong airport early morning from Yuen Long?
I am going to stay in Yuen Long, Hong Kong, in the end of the month. Monday morning the 25th of May, I am flying from the airport at 8am. That means I'd like to be there at around 6am, and should probably leave from Yuen Long at 5am.
What is the best way to get there in the morning?
Are there some buses?
I'd like to avoid taxi if possible, but if it's the only option, that is also fine.
How much would I expect it to cost?
Best Answer
Your time frame precludes much, if not all, travel on the MTR, as you probably know. Train service starts a few minutes before 6:00.
The easiest way to get there is to just take a taxi. It should cost around 350 HKD. Not cheap, but quick and simple.
You could also take a bus. Not sure where exactly you are - Yuen Long is big area - but you most likely want the E34 A or B. Both go from Yuen Long to the airport and start running about 5:10. Travel time will be 60-90 minutes. The fare will be less than 20 HKD. You can plan your bus route in detail by using the official HK public transit planner. Be aware that if you have large or a lot of luggage, you may not be allowed to board the bus.
