Your HKG Layover Itinerary
4-8 hrs layover
Choose between HKG and Tung Chung
This is usually the range where the airport or Tung Chung makes more sense than Central.
Stay at the airport or go to Tung Chung
Use the airport, a lounge, or a quick Tung Chung outing instead of forcing a full Hong Kong city plan.
Use a room if you need sleep
If you want real rest, a connected or near-airport hotel can be better than stretching the stop.
Head back to the airport
Leave time for the return and airport process.
Catch your flight
For many travelers, HKG or Tung Chung is the better use of this stop.
