Airport to Crowne Plaza , Kowloon East, Tseung Kwan O.

I see that you can get a bus from the airport to our hotel the Crowne Plaza in Tseung Kwan O.

There will be 7 of us travelling.

The A22 bus goes half way to Wylie Road in Kowloon, where we change to the 795X bus for the remainder of the journey.

A couple of questions if I may.

Does the A22 get packed and do we have somewhere to store our luggage on the bus?

Does the 795X get packed and will it have somewhere to store our luggage? Is the 795X a frequent bus?

or

Should we just get an UBER or Taxi from the airport?

Traveling from Hong Kong International Airport to Crowne Plaza, Kowloon East in Tseung Kwan O with a group of seven can be done using public buses (A22 + 795X) or by private taxi/ride-hailing services. Here’s a detailed breakdown of your options.

1. Using public buses (A22 + 795X):

  • A22 Airport Bus: This bus runs between the airport and Kowloon, stopping at locations like Wylie Road where you plan to transfer. The bus can get crowded during peak hours (morning 7–9 am, evening 5–8 pm), but midday or late evening rides are usually manageable.
  • Luggage storage on A22 is limited: there is space under the bus for suitcases, but space is shared with other passengers, so large groups may find it tight. For seven people with multiple large suitcases, it may be challenging.
  • 795X Bus: This bus connects Wylie Road to Tseung Kwan O. It is a normal city route bus, so space is smaller and luggage storage is limited. It can also become crowded during peak commuting hours. The bus runs roughly every 15–20 minutes but schedules may vary slightly, especially in evenings or weekends.

Considerations for public buses:

  • Transferring buses with luggage and a group of seven can be cumbersome, particularly if buses are crowded.
  • The journey may take longer than private transport due to waiting times, stops, and transfer.
  • It is budget-friendly, but less convenient for large groups or heavy luggage.

2. Using Uber or Taxi:

  • A taxi from Hong Kong Airport to Tseung Kwan O is straightforward and can accommodate up to 5 passengers per cab, so you may need two taxis for seven people with luggage.
  • Uber is available in Hong Kong, but for seven passengers with luggage, you may need an XL or multiple cars. Pricing will be higher than the bus but offers convenience and direct service.
  • Travel time is faster than buses, typically 35–50 minutes depending on traffic, with no transfers or waiting.

Recommendation:

  • For comfort, convenience, and avoiding hassle with luggage and transfers, taking taxis or Uber is preferable for your group size.
  • If budget is a priority and your group can manage luggage, buses A22 + 795X are feasible but may be tiring and slower, especially with seven passengers.

In summary, while the public bus option is possible, for seven people arriving at the airport with luggage, a direct taxi or ride-hailing service is generally more convenient, quicker, and less stressful.
