How to get to the city center

The fastest way to get from Hong Kong Airport to your hotel! Enjoy the perfect start and end of your trip with AEL. If you board AEL, you can travel very conveniently and quickly from the airport to the city center, and vice versa.

I recommend it to these people

Hong Kong AEL is not the cheapest way to get from Hong Kong International Airport to the city center. This is because there is a subway MTR and you can also travel by bus. But what is certain is that it is the most convenient and the fastest.

So, the people who absolutely need AEL are as follows.

1. Day trip travelers transiting in Hong Kong (time is always important)
2. Hong Kong Business Trip
3. Those who want to see the city center quickly regardless of cost
4. Those whose accommodation is Tsim Sha Tsui or Hong Kong Central

If you fit the four criteria above, you will never regret flying AEL.

Introducing AEL’s routes

Hong Kong AEL's route is very simple. From the international airport, it arrives at Tsing Yi Station in 14 minutes, Kowloon Station in 22 minutes, and Hong Kong Station in 24 minutes. You can think of Hong Kong Station as the farthest place to go.

Since time goes by so quickly, even if you are a day tripper, it only takes 2-3 hours to shop in Hong Kong Central, see what to see, and then come back. So, I can say that AEL is quite useful.

AEL operating hours:

1. Airport → downtown direction
First train: 5:54am
Last train: 0:48am
Service Interval: Between 5-10 minutes

2. Hong Kong Station → Airport
First train: 5:50am
Last train: 0:48am
Service interval: 12 minutes
Duration: 24 minutes

3. Kowloon Station → Airport
First train: 5:53am
Last train: 0:52am

At the airport, just follow the AEL signs.

When you land at Hong Kong International Airport, there is a large sign that says AEL. Just follow the signs and it's really easy to find. If you follow the signs, you will come to a place with 'To City' written on it. This is the correct direction. All you have to do now is board the plane.

There are no turnstiles. Just scan the QR code to board.

If you followed the signs, you can board right away by scanning the QR code provided by WAUG at the ticket gate. There is no need to insert a ticket, and you can board right away by simply scanning the QR code.

Make sure the Green Line ‘To City’ is correct before boarding.

Once you confirm that the direction of the Green Line is to City, you can now board. It’s so comfortable, right? After boarding, you can reach Hong Kong Central in just 24 minutes. If your accommodation is Tsim Sha Tsui, you can get off at Kowloon Station.

Introducing little AEL tips

Hong Kong AEL has both forward and reverse directions. If possible, I recommend going in the forward direction. For those who suffer from severe motion sickness, we recommend sitting facing forward.

Also, if you want to charge your laptop or cell phone at AEL, we recommend taking seats 1 or 7. There is no separate charging device in other compartments.

Why you should buy tickets from WAUG

WAUG is the official Korean partner of Hong Kong AEL and sells tickets at the lowest price. It is also very convenient because you can use it right away after purchasing it, and you can board AEL right away with WAUG's QR without any additional exchange .
