Layover between flights in Hong Kong
Hi all,
Well the flights are booked (and now I'm supposed to sit quietly here at work for the rest of the day). We fly London to HK, then HK to Perth and then onto our new life.
Due to the flight times, we land in HK at 4.05pm local time, depart for Perth 11.35pm. Can anybody advise would it be worth leaving hand luggage etc at Hk and jumping into town for a few hours or any general pointer for a layover time of 7 hrs between flights? Last time we flew through Singapore and had a layover time of 2 hours so we just stayed at airport.
Cheers,
Terry

If you are flying economy then might I suggest using the Premium Plaza Business lounge which you pay for on arrival. Showers, food, drinks, decent seats, TV, internet etc. Its about $30-$50 AU per person depending on how long you stay. http://www.plaza-ppl.com/hk_en/lounge.php
Beats being unwashed and tired on the floor of an airport terminal. Sadly there is no transit hotel at HK airport.
