Port to airport

I will be arriving at Harbour City port in Kowloon and departing for airport. How easy will it be to get a taxi or uber to airport in a Monday morning? What should it cost? Thanks!

Traveling from Harbour City port in Kowloon to Hong Kong International Airport on a Monday morning is generally straightforward. There are several transport options, including taxis, ride-hailing services like Uber, and airport buses. Here’s what you can expect:

Taxi:

  • Taxis are readily available outside Harbour City and can be flagged down or booked via hotel concierge or taxi app.
  • The ride to Hong Kong International Airport takes approximately 30–45 minutes, depending on traffic.
  • The fare typically ranges from HKD 250–350, including tolls (the Tsing Ma Bridge toll to Lantau Island) and luggage fees if applicable.
  • Red taxis serve Kowloon and can take you directly to the airport. Always ensure the driver uses the meter.

Uber / Ride-Hailing Services:

  • Uber and other ride-hailing services operate in Hong Kong, but availability may vary slightly compared to regular taxis.
  • Pricing is generally slightly higher than taxis, and surge pricing can apply during peak hours.
  • The travel time is similar to a taxi, about 30–45 minutes.

Alternative Options:

  • A1/A11 Airport Bus: Kowloon has direct airport bus services. This is cheaper than a taxi (around HKD 40–50 per person) but takes longer, approximately 50–60 minutes depending on stops.
  • MTR: You could also take the MTR from Tsim Sha Tsui station (near Harbour City) to Airport Express stations via transfer at Kowloon or Hong Kong stations. Travel time is around 40–45 minutes, with fares around HKD 100–120 per person.

In summary, getting a taxi or Uber from Harbour City to the airport on a Monday morning is easy and convenient. Expect to pay around HKD 250–350 for a taxi, with 30–45 minutes of travel time. For a cheaper but slightly longer journey, airport buses or the MTR are good alternatives.
