High-priced tickets can be used for lower-priced journeys, but the fare difference will not be refunded. For example, tickets from Hong Kong Station can be used for journeys to Kowloon or Tsing Yi Station, and tickets from Kowloon Station can also be used for Tsing Yi Station. Conversely, lower-priced tickets can be used for higher-priced journeys, but the fare difference must be paid (which can be settled at the customer service center before the ticket gates).

— FAQs —

Q: What should I do if my ticket doesn't work at the entry/exit gate?

A: Please ask the station staff for assistance. Self-service refunds are not accepted.


Q1: How do I buy a single journey ticket?

A1: For a single journey ticket, e.g. "Airport Station – Kowloon Station" or "Kowloon Station – Airport Station", the ticket is the same; you just use it from a different starting station.


Q2: Can I check in my luggage with this ticket?

A2: Yes. To make your journey easier, since July 5, 2023, Airport Express passengers can use Cathay Pacific's In-Town Check-in Service at Hong Kong Station from 6:00 am to 3:00 pm.^ Baggage checked in at the In-Town Check-in counters must not exceed 145 cm (L) x 100 cm (W) x 85 cm (H) in size or 70 kg in weight.

Q3: I'm transferring flights / making a same-day round trip to the airport. Can I buy just one single journey ticket?

A3: No. A single journey ticket covers only one trip (airport → city OR city → airport). If you need to travel to and from the airport on the same day, please buy a round-trip ticket; otherwise, you will need to buy another ticket on-site for the return trip.
