Hong Kong Changeover
We have a six hour wait between flights, has anyone used the travellers lounge with children. (aged 8 & 9)
Is it worth paying for the lounge, or use the main lounges and restaurants. Thanks |

Re: Hong Kong Changeover
I agree. Get out of the airport into the city if you can.

Re: Hong Kong Changeover
6 hours is borderline for getting out of the airport, getting anywhere, doing anything and getting back.
We've done this transit a few times with the kids (albeit much younger than yours) and generally find that by the time we've got off the plane, freshened up a bit, found our way around the terminal including going through a security point (and dealt with re-checking in on occassions) then we've used up an hour and bit easily. Theres an OK quiet lounge area (fee) beside one of the gates which is worth it if you fancy a lie down and sleep for a while and its worth wandering upstairs and grabbing a bite to eat to kill another hour. After sitting on a plane for hours not being able to move you'd be surprised how nice it is nto to have to do anything a for a while in the SPACE of an airport terminal. 5 hours passes in no time.... |
Re: Hong Kong Changeover
I LOVE HONG KONG!!!!!
Any opportunity to do something..... If you had a plan you could do it and it would be great. the peak is tricky because so often the view is obscured by pollution or cloud but on a sunny day worth the trip ten times. If you get through customs within 30 minutes, def worth putting your bags in lock up for $10 and jumpin on expresss train at HK station and going to Hong Kong Island and just going for a wander rund Vic Park and the harbour, some of the shops in Causeway Bay and lunch and then head back with an hour to spare. you wouldnt regret it if you did it, HK is a really cool place and if you stay on HK island you are always 200 metres from a train station. |

Oh do us a favour and go into the city. Then find my niece and give her a hug for me. Don't know where she's living cos she's only just got there.

Re: Hong Kong Changeover
We flew back to Oz last May via HK.We had debated on heading to the city as we had 6 hours to kill.However we were both too tired so paid a fee for a lounge.It was fine actually.Had a nice relaxing shower,went into the lounge,had some nice food,drinks etc,went for a wander to the duty free shops,returned to the lounge,went for a massage,more drinks,free use of computers,so would recommend it.Had we not been so tired though its fair to say yes we definately would of took the train into the city.

Re: Hong Kong Changeover
We'll be stopping in HK for about 6 hours. How much does it cost to use a lounge?
:) |
Re: Hong Kong Changeover
Thanks for your replies, we never even considered leaving the airport.

What kind of food is available as kids can be quite fussy. Was there enough computers for everyone.
